Toddler Tantrum Nightmare In Public & The Start Of A Post Adoption Midlife Crisis

This week we’re feeling… old. Like, suddenly questioning 'what on earth has happened to us' old. Has parenthood aged us overnight, or is Ryan just fully entering his post adoption midlife crisis era? We talk about the strange identity shift that comes with becoming parents, the unexpected emotions that hit even when everything is “going well,” and why it sometimes feels like we’ve lost a version of ourselves along the way. We also get into Coachella FOMO (because apparently that version of us still exists somewhere), and share the reality of our recent family holiday, which was a lot harder than we expected. From missing our son while literally being with him, to navigating parent guilt and the emotional rollercoaster of stepping away for work. Oh, and dummies confessions is a gooden!
