Two Parents & A Podcast
Grieving your pre-baby life, parental identify shift & backseat drivers
30 Jan 2025
Welcome to the FIRST episode of Two Parents & A Podcast (feels weird not saying ‘back to another episode of Just Alex!!!’). Really gonna keep this low-key - this is the same show you guys know (and love?) - we just finally got around to that rebrand we’ve been promising. (Honestly how many more time could I have said “it’s just Alex aaaaaand Harrison’s here with me tooooo......” hahahha). So here we are, Two Parents & A Podcast - we’ll continue to invite y’all into our home weekly (sorry it’s so messy - we’re new parents) to talk all things parenting, relationships, trending topics, entrepreneurship, and the occasional conspiracy theory. On THIS WEEK’s episode - we get an update from Harrison on attending his first bachelor party as a dad. My first weekend alone with the babe had me thinking a lot about parental identity shift & grieving the pre-baby life, so we dive deep into this and my takeaways from the weekend (also just need to say - S/O TO SINGLE MOMS… you guys are super heroes). Next we’re laughing at the things we DMed eachother - backseat driving and having two babies at once (not twins??). Harrison DOESN’T laugh at the drunk confession I saw on IG that was hilarious. And we finish out the episode with a very valid questions: Where does your Girl Scout cookie money actually go?! One last thing, if you’re new here!!! If you came here for parenting advice - definitely the wrong podcast… But we try our best to share our experiences - this week y’all asked about when you should/when will we move the baby out of the bedroom (answer: we don’t know but we’ll obviously keep you updated). As always - LOVE YOU GUYS! ---------------------------------------------------------------- Timestamps: 00:00:00 Welcome to Two Parents & A Podcast!!!

Full Episode
Let me just be completely honest here. I struggled like I cried an awful lot of tears Saturday night.
Just the idea that like you couldn't if you know you needed a break or you couldn't come or you didn't have a partner to swap out with. That's what really got me.
But I very much so was like, whoa, am I ever going to be able to do anything again?
You know, I don't like ribs. I think it's the most overrated barbecue item.
What do you think is the best barbecue item? Brisket. I totally agree with you. I actually love ribs and brisket. Oh gosh, now it sounds good for dinner. I mean, how funny is that?
Yeah, I'm sorry that I'm not going to give you the reaction you want here. I just think that's not true.
Welcome back to another episode of, I guess I can't say just Alex. You guys, welcome to the Two Parents in a Podcast podcast featuring me and my baby daddy. Hi.
Hello.
Do you like the name? To be honest, I don't even want to be this dramatic about the new name. Like, I just kind of want... Just Alex was always... Like, we knew I was pregnant when we started Just Alex, okay? But you guys didn't know, but we knew. And so it was always going to turn into something, but we didn't know what it was going to be. And now it's two parents and a podcast.
