Kaydee Church, better known online as “the steak girl,” and her fiancé Tyson join us to talk about unexpectedly getting pregnant at 20, becoming parents before marriage, and navigating their new life in the public eye. They open up about their daughter’s scary trip to the NICU, losing $12,000 in a TikTok scam, dealing with judgment online, and how viral fame has changed their lives.

We’re officially on baby watch. 👶

At 37 weeks pregnant, we’re sharing our final pregnancy update before baby #3 arrives - from fake labor, nesting, and VBAC prep to the emotional reality of saying goodbye to our family of four. We also talk about why Abby feels “trauma bonded” to her OB, the surprising ways pregnancy has changed her, and what we’re most nervous (and excited) about as we prepare to meet our little guy.

Carson and Brielle Matranga may be known for raising their family in a tiny home, but behind the scenes their story is far more unexpected.

In this episode, they open up about moving in together as teenagers, growing up with addiction, breaking generational cycles, and navigating anxiety and parenthood. They also share what it's really like raising a family in 516 sq feet, and why they wouldn't change it for anything.
