In this episode (originally aired on 1/22/25), my husband, Joe, joins me to talk about parenting, marriage, and how our relationship has evolved over the years from dating in high school to being parents of two. Joe shares his perspective on having a partner who struggles with mental health, how he best supports me, and reflects on whether he feels guilt or FOMO as a father when he gets time to himself. We discuss our division of labor and how we delineate tasks, how we deal with the mental overload of parenting, and how we moved through our “roommate phase” during postpartum. We also talk about advice for parents with kids having a “preferential parent” phase, the principles we try to live by as a family, working through disagreements while actively parenting, and much more.

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light.
