Ep 24: Valentine’s Day, Apple Store + IKEA, and Smart Home Privacy

This week on the Wife Approved Podcast, Shane and Caroline talk about the pressure and expectations around Valentine’s Day, why it never quite goes as planned, and how good intentions can still turn into frustration.Along the way, they dive into their recent trips to Ikea and Apple Stores, smart homes, privacy concerns, yelling at HomePods, and the weird moment when your spouse becomes “the tech guy” on the internet.It’s honest, sarcastic, a little tired, and very real — just two married people trying to keep up with life, work, and each other.💬 Submit questions or hot takes anonymously: https://shanewhatley.com/wife-approved-podcast/⭐ If you're enjoying the podcast, leave us a 5-star review – it helps us a lot!
