We Almost Got Divorced: What's Saved Deena's Marriage After Kids

What happens when you go from loving partners… to basically roommates with two screaming babies, no sleep, and zero support?

This week, Deena sits down with her husband for the first time ever on the pod for an honest, raw conversation. Together, they open up about the silent resentments, postpartum breakdowns, missed expectations, therapy breakthroughs, and the rock-bottom moment when Deena said out loud: “I don’t want to do this anymore.”

But this isn’t just a story about almost falling apart—it’s a story about doing the deep, messy, sacred work of coming back together.

You’ll walk away feeling seen and less alone on the invisible labor load and why it breaks so many moms, plus a practical look at how they rebalanced their roles, restructured communication, and rebuilt trust. Oh, and an answer to what everyone has been asking: "How did you get your husband to go to therapy?!" (and how it changed everything).

It's ok if you're in the messy middle of your relationship. If you’re navigating the impossible mix of marriage, identity shifts, and parenting young kids—you’ll feel less alone. You’ll feel seen. You’ll feel hopeful.

And you’ll have the tools to start rewriting your own story.
