Don’t Tell Your Father

This week, we tackle the age-old question: did birth order shape who we are...or are we all just looking for someone to blame? As an oldest child and a youngest sibling, we compare notes on responsibility, people-pleasing, attention-seeking, and the family roles we may or may not have been assigned at birth. Along the way, we discuss: Oldest child stereotypes Middle child myths Youngest sibling energy Whether birth order actually matters The habits we're still carrying into adulthood Some of it is backed by research. Some of it is backed by personal experience. All of it is backed by sibling grievances. Whether you're the family rule-follower, peacekeeper, or wild card, this episode might explain a few things - or give you fresh material to use against your siblings.

Bullying is one of those things almost everyone has a story about - and unfortunately, that's not always a good thing. In this episode, we talk about the messy reality of dealing with mean people while growing up. In this episode, we get into: Different types of bullying Why people bully What it means to bystand How parents can support their kids Protecting your confidence and self-worth A few laughs, awkward stories, and questionable commentary Whether you're navigating MORE THAN just friendship drama, raising a kid through it, or still occasionally remembering that one weird thing someone said in 7th grade, this episode is for you. Expect honest conversation, a little perspective, and a reminder that bullies don't get the final say. Email us at [email protected]

This week's episode is basically what happens when two people with wildly questionable music taste get microphones. We invite you to judge us, we're judging ourselves on this one. We're talking: Artists we'd defend in court TikTok songs that had us in a chokehold Overrated musicians (yes, we said what we said) The emotional trauma of old playlsts And Wren, absolutely butchering children's lullabies for everyone's entertainment From nostalgic comfort songs to chaotic bops that make no sense, this episode is all over the place in the best way. If your playlist gives emotional whiplash, you'll fit right in.

This week, we’re diving headfirst into the chaos of a true Feral Girl Summer™ — the kind built on lake days, gas station snacks, staying up too late, reading instead of answering texts, and pretending “rotting” is actually self-care (because maybe it is?) This episode also takes approximately 47 delightful side quests. And honestly? That feels very on theme for the season. In this episode: The difference between a Hot Girl Summer and a Feral Girl Summer Summer Hot Takes The art of summer “rotting” Wren’s actual summer plans Random stories about middle school dating, scoring baseball games, and explaining a children’s book called “Frog on a Log?” by Kes Gray If your summer aesthetic is  “feral raccoon holding an iced coffee,” this episode is for you. And if that’s not your vibe, come along anyway. It’ll be educational. 

"Why Are We Like This?" is a painfully relatable episode about overthinking literally everything. We're talking about the kind of anxiety that turns a simple interaction into a full investigative documentary in your brain. In this episode, we get into: The physical chaos of anxiety (racing thoughts, avoidance, air hunger) Why our brains turn tiny moments into full disasters The invisibility of anxiety compared to how it looks in the movies Small things that truly help when your brain won't shut off Basically, if your internal monologue sounds like a group chat with no supervision, this episode is for you.

Some people journal. Some people go to therapy. We...disappear into books. Come along as we share what reading says about how we cope, feel, and disappear into stories that understand us better than anything else. In this episode, we get into: Why fictional worlds feel safer sometimes The comfort reads we turn to when everything feels overwhelming Books that emotionally destroyed us - but in a good way Reading as an escape, a reset, and sometimes a full-on avoidance strategy Hot takes on book trends and book behavior This episode is about the way books hold us when real life feels heavy. Come share the comfort, chaos, and quiet we find in a good book.

Welcome to an honest and funny deep dive into what it really feels like to be a girl - navigating emotions, expectations, confidence, and complete chaos. Some days you're unstoppable, and other days...you're literally just a girl. We're talking: Overthinking every text, tone, and tiny interaction Questioning: is this being a girl, or am I actually unstable Girl math that somehow always makes sense And of course a Don't Tell Dad moment This episode is about embracing every version of yourself. Because sometimes you're thriving...and sometimes you're literally just a girl.

Middle school: where the rules are made up, the drama is real, and everyone suddenly has a personality shift overnight. In this episode, we're breaking down the absolute chaos of tween life - friendship breakups, confusing social hierarchies, and the daily emotional rollercoaster that somehow starts before first period. We're talking: Skincare routines Technology use Trend comparisons, then and now Mortifying moments It's equal parts hilarious, painful, and way too relatable. Whether you're in the thick of it, survived it, or are raising someone through it - consider this your inside look at the chaos. And remember...whatever you do, don't tell dad.

Welcome to chaos. Population: us. In our very first episode, we're diving headfirst into the beautiful mess of starting a mother-daughter podcast...with absolutely no idea what we're doing. This is your official introduction to the vibe. We're talking: Why we started this podcast in the first place The kinds of things we definitely shouldn't be saying out loud Introductions via rapid fire questions What we are NOT telling dad this week Expect unfiltered opinions, accidental therapy sessions, generational roasting, and the kind of conversations that probably shouldn't be recorded. If you've ever been a daughter, raised a daughter, or ARE the dad we're not telling...this one's for you. New episodes every Friday. Secrets every episode. 

Raw, chaotic, and way too honest - this is the podcast you weren't supposed to hear. If you've ever survived middle school, motherhood, or secrets that definitely weren't meant to be shared...you're in the right place.
