    27: Halloween Hijinks
    Oct 30 2024
    In this week’s Midwest Married episode, we’re joined by our friends Sarah and Ryan to dive headfirst into the candy corn-filled cauldron that is Halloween! 🍬 From costumes, to candies, to controversies, we’re covering all the spooky, sweet, and spicy sides of Halloween.

    We’re ranking favorite Halloween treats (full-size candy bars only, please), debating how old is too old to trick-or-treat, and spilling on all the classic and kooky Halloween traditions. 🎃

    And, of course, no Halloween episode would be complete without tackling the “kids dressing risqué” debate—brace yourselves! 👻

    Join us for laughs, a little candy shaming, and a lot of Halloween spirit!

    Sep 25 2024
    Welcome back to another episode of Midwest Married. Maintaining a happy/healthy relationship, kids, friendship, intimacy and everything else that could come at you in this crazy thing we call life.

    This week on Midwest Married, we tackle some of the toughest challenges a relationship can face: cheating, divorce, and coparenting. Because nothing says “modern love” quite like balancing a breakup with shared custody, right?

    We’re joined by a special guest who’s lived through it all - infidelity, divorce papers, and the tricky task of coparenting. From figuring out how to co-parent with someone who used to drive you crazy to rebuilding trust after it’s been broken, this episode is full of advice with a side of laughter (because hey, if you don’t laugh, you might cry).

    Whether you're living through it or just trying to understand how people survive this rollercoaster, we’ve got the real talk, the humor, and a few surprises along the way!
