About this listen
In this heartfelt Thanksgiving episode, Josh and Priscilla look back on the parenting decisions they swore they’d never make — co-sleeping, screen time, messy toys, showing up late everywhere, and even letting their kids pick “not-so-aesthetic” outfits — and share why each one has surprisingly become something they’re deeply grateful for. Through honest stories, NICU memories, playful confessions, and lots of laughter, they explore how becoming parents has softened their perspectives, reshaped their expectations, and made room for more grace, joy, and connection.
They also open up about the parts of their relationship they’re most thankful for — like how they push each other to grow, the gift of selflessness, and the grounding moments that remind them why they make such a strong team. To close out the episode, they share the adorable quirks of Violet and Daisy that they hope they never forget, including the girls’ iconic fake-laugh-turned-real-laugh that brings joy even on the hardest days. This episode is a warm, relatable reminder for every parent: expectations change, kids surprise you, and gratitude shows up in the most unexpected places.
Whether you're navigating co-sleeping, balancing screen time, drowning in toys, or embracing the chaos of toddler fashion choices, this conversation will make you feel seen, smile big, and head into Thanksgiving with a full heart.
