One year after releasing our most-downloaded episode ever, Baby Fever, we’re revisiting the conversation that parents can’t stop listening to. In this wrap-up episode, Josh and Priscilla reflect on why baby fever resonates so deeply, how their thoughts on having more kids have evolved, and what it really looks like to stay content while holding space for curiosity. From vasectomies and pregnancy struggles to trusting God with family planning, this episode offers an honest, relatable look at navigating big decisions as parents of young kids.

We also talk about growth - not just in parenting, but in podcasting. From cringing at our early episodes to learning how feedback helped us improve, we share behind-the-scenes insights into how this show has evolved over the past year. If you’re a parent who’s ever replayed old seasons of life and realized how much you’ve changed, this conversation will feel familiar.

To round things out, we share our favorite parent purchases of the year - from reading apps and modular play couches to bedtime books that have become staples in our home. Whether you’re wrestling with baby fever, content with your family size, or just looking for practical recommendations and encouragement, this episode is a cozy, honest reflection on parenting, growth, and gratitude.

Every year Spotify Wrapped tells us what we did right… so this week, we’re sharing everything that went hilariously wrong. In this anti-Wrapped recap, Priscilla and Josh look back at their worst performing podcast episodes of 2025 and unpack the surprisingly relatable reasons behind the dip—holiday chaos, busy parent schedules, personal finance fatigue, and titles that didn’t quite land. With their usual honesty and humor, they break down the stories behind each episode and what they learned about being consistent, following audience interest, and creating content during real-life family seasons.

Then the conversation turns to something every parent understands: regretful purchases. From the Peloton that never stood a chance (turns out Priscilla hates cycling), to Costco turkey that expires faster than toddlers can eat it, to toys that vanish into the abyss two days after leaving the store—this episode is a lighthearted confession session on money mistakes, parenting realities, and figuring out what’s actually worth it during the early-kid years.

If you love honest reflections, behind-the-scenes podcast talk, and the comfort of knowing other parents also waste money on snacks their kids refuse to eat… you’ll feel right at home. Tune in for laughs, lessons, and a fun wrap-up of everything that didn’t go according to plan in 2025.
