Honey We're Giving (And Getting) The Best Gifts

Helloooo Honeys. We're back this week with our first ever virtual episode, since the holiday season has us running around like chickens with our heads cut off. We recap our Thanksgivings, and chat about visiting in-laws and families' houses over the holidays. Is it OK to keep a bunch of stuff at your in-laws? Is it messed up to bring your dog to your families' house, even though they're allergic? What happens when the women get stuck doing all the holiday work, while the men get to sit and watch football? We give our opinions on all this and more, and then we end with our top holiday gift guide picks. Happy shopping!

We're Married: What's Next? ft. Ilana Dunn Solomon

Honeys this is a GOOD conversation. On today's episode, we have the incredible honor of chatting with Ilana Dunn Solomon, host of the popular relationships podcast, Seeing Other People. She's vulnerable and real with us about feeling the pressures that the early marriage stage of life brings: Do we need to be buying houses? Should we be starting families? Why does it feel like everyone around us is taking the "next steps" while we're stuck not being ready for those? No matter what stage of life you're in, this episode will make you feel much less alone. For more of her incredible perspective, check out Ilana's podcast, Seeing Other People, wherever you get your podcasts!

Deciding Where To Spend The Holidays

Ho Ho Ho Honeys, it's officially the holiday season. Nicole's wearing a see-through formal dress, and Caro's wearing sweats (so off-brand for us). We kick off the episode with a discussion about about how men shouldn't care what women wear. Then we talk about our Thanksgiving plans, and how Caro is already stressed about the holidays. We then do our very first Honey Hotline voicemail, answering the pressing question of is it OK to spend the holidays apart from your significant other?

Women "Expand" throughout Life: But do Men?

Welcome back honeys. Today's episode kicks off with Nicole getting hacked. After some quick catching up and talking about one of our fav subjects (plastic surgery), the episode takes an unexpected turn in to one of the best topics yet: Women are expected to expand throughout life, but do we expect the same from men? Between the mental and physical loads women have to bear, we are basically superhuman and deserve a fat reward. But is being superhuman even a good thing, or just a way to turn an unfair expectation into a compliment? This episode is full of revelations, raw emotions, vulnerabilities, and makes a compelling point about a narrative we perhaps should be rewriting all together. Just something to think about honeys.

Being An Adult Sucks (moving, money, maturing, & more)

Honeys, we're officially in our 30s. Which is great, we're more mature (sort of), more confident, and have more money than we did in our 20s. However, both decades still have one thing in common: becoming an adult during them sucks. It's hard sometimes. In this episode, we give updates on both of our moving situations (Nicole found a place! Caro, still up in the air), and we play a fun game of f*ck, marry, kill to discuss your submissions for how adulting sucks. We end the episode on some uplifting and amazing life advice from our family members, who surprise us with their positive perspectives on getting older. It's a feel-good episode you won't wanna miss.

Honey We're Using The Right Love Languages

We're back for another fun solo episode, and this time we're celebrating "Golden Husbands" for a change. We have an email from a listener all about how her husband is basically perfect, and we give her easy tips for how she can show her appreciation (hint: the #1 tip is just to be herself bc let's face it, he's lucky to be married to her anyway). Then we get into fun questions about each other to see who's the better listener, and in a shocking turn of events, it's Nicole who gets most of them right. But in Caroline's defense, Nicole's moved 87 times so how's she really supposed to know where she was born. We end with a riveting discussion about role models in our lives and how to measure TRUE success, and it's wholesome af. Xoxo Learn more about your ad choices.

Honey He's Changing His Mind About Kids & Marriage

Honeys, this episode gets prettyyyy deep. We start with recapping Caro's birthday week and why it's important to be a good friend on your friend's birthday, and how Nicole won MVP of the week by simply sending bagels. We then get giddy about Fall and spooky season approaching, and no it's not too early for that ok? We also talk shows that we're watching right now (Love Island, Tell Me Lies, and The Perfect Couple) - and we're watching completely different shows (shocker). We finally get into the good stuff and elaborate on the listener email submission from last week's episode about her husband changing his mind about wanting kids. We also have an email about a boyfriend completely changing his mind about wanting to get married, and let's just say we have a lotttt of thoughts on this one. Men are being extra annoying in this episode, but together we can try to decipher what's going on in their simple minds.

Sex And Marriage: How Often Are We Supposed To Be Doing It?

Honeys, we're finally doing it (no pun intended). We're finally delving more into the topic of sex (Caroline is sweating, but Nicole's forcing the topic because it's important). Before we get into the sex talk, we discuss an email from a listener whose husband decided to tell her that he's changed his mind about wanting kids. The classic bait and switch. Nicole found a game in her TV credenza called "Where Should We Begin?" by Esther Perel, so the girls play it by answering some of the very unique and weird sex-related questions, probably not the way Esther intended the game to be played, but oh well. Then they get into answering the audiences' burning questions like "how often are we supposed to be having sex?", "what if my partner and I have mismatched sex drives?", "what if i'm too tired to have sex?" and more. The point of this episode is to show us all that there's no right or wrong way to be having sex in your marriage, as long as you're doing what works for you as a couple, and you've found someone who matches your freak, then you're good to go.

Today’s episode kicks off with a continuation of the discussion around the listener email about getting married for a green card, since we have new info! Nicole and Caro have their first mini fight on the pod, which is exciting for you all because it makes for great content.

Girls Trips vs. Couples Trips: Pros & Cons

Honeys, we're finally home. No but actually, the girls have been apart for what feels like a century because Nicole was running amok in Spain and London for the past 2.5 weeks since she's childless and (corporate) jobless. Caro catches her up on what she's missed, including Sonny Angels and the giant river in France. They then recap Nicole's trip and chat all about the pros and cons of traveling with a girl vs. a guy (hint: unfortunately it's easier with a guy only bc they carry bags). They end with a listener email struggling with a big dilemma about whether or not she should get married for a green card, which we have absolutely no expertise on so send us your thoughts on the @honeywerehomepod instagram! or email honeywerehomepodcast@gmail.com of course.
