Mom Talk: Valentine’s Day Edition — Love Languages, Marriage & Motherhood

In this Mom Talk: Valentine’s Day Edition of After Reality, I’m reflecting on the many sides of this holiday — the sweet stuff, the pressure, and everything in between. I’m celebrating my seventh Valentine’s Day with my husband (the longest Valentine I’ve ever had), and sharing how I’m trying to create meaningful traditions for our three kids — inspired by how my mom always made Valentine’s Day feel so special when I was growing up.I also take a minute to honor Catherine O’Hara and James Van Der Beek, and how their passing had me thinking about nostalgia, legacy, and the people who shape us. Along the way, I share a few personal stories — from affordable gifts to family memories — and invite you to zoom out and think about what love really means to you.And yes — we keep it a little spicy too. I’m talking love languages, including physical touch, and how intimacy can look different in the thick of parenting… but still matters. Because sometimes love isn’t a grand gesture. Sometimes it’s the small, everyday things — and showing up for each other in the middle of real life. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
