We Know Things

What starts as a casual life update somehow turns into a full-blown squirrel interrogation… and honestly, we wouldn’t have it any other way.In this episode, the girls catch up on everything from new jobs, school, motherhood, mental health, divorce, healing, and navigating huge life transitions — all while somehow spiraling into conversations about Emperor’s New Groove, random useless knowledge, Utah culture, car stickers, PowerPoint nights, and a rogue squirrel living in Terin’s garage.Yes. An actual squirrel.Yes. It may or may not have committed property damage.Yes. There was an interrogation.This episode is chaotic in the best way and feels exactly like sitting in a room with your funniest friends while everyone collectively tries to survive adulthood. Underneath the humor, though, is a really honest conversation about growth, rebuilding your life, learning to stop protecting people who hurt you, and realizing that sometimes nobody is coming to save you — so you save yourself instead.Also discussed:Terin’s new job with DCFSGrad school + internship chaosWhy nobody actually knows what they’re doingThe emotional aftermath of major life changesThe weird comfort of community and “finding your people”Random facts we absolutely did not need to knowWhether squirrels and chipmunks are the same thingAnd why Emperor’s New Groove might be the greatest movie ever madeHonestly? This episode is unhinged, heartfelt, and somehow deeply therapeutic all at once.Love you so much. 🐿️✨

If Episode 6 was the breaking point… this is what came after.In Part 2 of this life update, Terin continues the conversation and shares what it’s actually looked like in the days and weeks after the 48-hour move. The adrenaline has worn off, the dust is settling, and now comes the reality of rebuilding—emotionally, mentally, and logistically.She opens up about the aftermath of letting go of control in co-parenting, what boundaries look like now, and how it feels to no longer center her decisions around keeping the peace. There’s grief, there’s relief, and there’s a whole lot of clarity.This episode dives into:What happens after you choose yourselfThe emotional comedown from survival modeNavigating co-parenting with firmer boundariesRebuilding stability for you and your kidsThe difference between peacekeeping and actual peaceTrusting yourself after making hard decisionsThis is the part no one talks about—the quiet, in-between space where you’re no longer in chaos… but not fully settled yet either.And maybe the most important realization:Peace doesn’t come from controlling the situation.It comes from no longer abandoning yourself inside of it. 💛

This episode is a life update… and a big one.Terin sits down and opens up about the whirlwind of events that unfolded in her life—events so intense and unexpected that they led to packing up and moving within 48 hours. From navigating the impact of her ex-husband’s instability and manic behaviors to making rapid, high-stakes decisions for her safety and her kids, this episode pulls back the curtain on what it really looks like when life forces you to pivot—fast.But this isn’t just about what happened. It’s about what shifted.Terin shares what it took to finally release the pressure of “playing nice” in co-parenting, the emotional toll of trying to control an uncontrollable situation, and the moment she realized that protecting her peace—and her children—meant letting go of the narrative she had been trying to hold together.We talk about:What it’s like navigating co-parenting with instabilityThe breaking point that led to a 48-hour moveLetting go of control and the illusion of “keeping things calm”The cost of over-accommodating vs. choosing yourselfRedefining what “doing what’s best for the kids” actually meansFinding clarity in chaosThis episode is raw, honest, and deeply empowering for anyone who’s ever felt stuck trying to manage someone else’s behavior just to keep the peace.Sometimes the most loving thing you can do—for yourself and your children—is stop shrinking, stop over-functioning… and walk away from the chaos. 💛

This episode is a special one.We’re sitting down with Terin’s teenagers—Kaidence and Porter—for an honest, unfiltered conversation about what it’s really like to grow up in the middle of divorce.From the outside, divorce is an adult decision… but this episode reminds us just how deeply it impacts the kids living it.Kaidence and Porter open up about their experiences—from the moment they were told their parents were divorcing, to witnessing conflict, navigating loyalty, and learning how to cope with emotions that felt way too big for their age. They share what it felt like to be in the middle, the confusion of hearing different narratives, and the pressure (spoken or unspoken) to take sides. We talk about:What kids actually feel during a divorce (that adults might miss)Being the “messenger” between parentsTrauma responses like freezing, anxiety, and emotional shutdownThe guilt of feeling responsible for your parents’ emotionsLearning how to set boundaries—even as a kidHow their perspectives changed over timeThey also share powerful advice for other kids going through divorce—including the reminder that it is not your job to fix it. And in true podcast fashion, we balance the heavy with the light—getting to know their personalities, talents, and even testing our slang knowledge (spoiler: we fail).This episode is honest, eye-opening, and deeply important—for parents, for kids, and for anyone who’s ever been caught in the middle.Most of all, it’s a reminder:Kids see more than we think.They feel more than we realize.And they deserve to be heard. 💛
