It’s our anniversary week 🎉, so we’re celebrating with a game that tests just how well we really know each other: Do You Even Know Me? We take turns answering questions about ourselves to see if our partner can guess correctly. Spoiler alert: Sophia might know Bradley a little too well, and Bradley ends up sharing way more than he planned (oops). In this episode you’ll hear: The anniversary game that reveals way more than we expected 💍 Which questions sparked hilarious disagreements vs. scary-...

This week we’re trying something new: Dear Roses 🌹—where you send us your real-life relationship dilemmas, and we do our best to give advice (with zero credentials, but plenty of opinions). From nosy in-laws to too many pumpkins, from snooze-button battles to TikTok in bed, we’re tackling the everyday quirks that couples face—and laughing our way through it. Plus, we also dive into some real questions about IVF stigma, friends-with-benefits feelings, and how you know when you’ve met “the one.” ...

Is it a 🚩 red flag… or actually kinda genius? This week, we’re diving into the little quirks, habits, and choices that couples make in marriage and asking: are they signs of trouble, or smart strategies to keep the peace? We put our own marriage under the microscope and debate the internet’s most talked-about “marriage red flags,” like: Some of these we totally do (and swear by). Others? Let’s just say… not for us. Join us for laughs, debates, and maybe a few confessions. Connect with Us: 👉 Jo...

This week’s episode is a mix of laughs, love, and a few unexpected creepy crawlers. 🕷️ We kick things off with Good Week / Bad Week : Sophia’s “bad week” features a spider infestation (made worse by her American aversion to open windows while sleeping in England). Bradley’s good/bad mix leads us right into a chat about what listeners had to say about maternity and paternity leave in the U.S. — and spoiler: it’s not what we thought. Then, because it is a relationship podcast… we had to talk abou...

This week’s episode is packed: 👶 Sophia’s good week/bad week — from the huge milestone of our newborn finally latching to her guilty-pleasure reality TV binges during late-night pumping sessions. ⚽ Bradley’s good week/bad week — from tiny UK parking spaces that sparked some serious dad-rage to the joy of watching Manchester United with our son for the very first time. ⚖️ Couple’s Court is back and things get heated: Is being “on time” actually showing up 10 minutes early… or just on time? (Spoi...

This week is a rollercoaster in the best, most Relatable with the Roses way. We dive into Bradley’s alternative health journey for stroke recovery —what he’s trying, how he’s feeling, and what’s next. (Hint: he hasn’t eaten in 12 days . Yep. We talk about why.) We also revisit Couple’s Court after getting a flood of messages from you all. The case on appeal? The Dishwasher Debate. Who actually won—Sophia or Bradley? We read your DMs and render a (mostly) final verdict. And for Good Week/Bad Week...

We’ve officially survived ( mostly ) the first month of parenthood — and let’s just say, nothing could have fully prepared us for what we’ve learned, lost (sleep), and leaked. In this episode, we’re unpacking: The parenting curveballs that hit harder than expected (hi, pelvic floor and baby poop panic) The wild breastfeeding journey — tongue tie, latch drama, and why nipples deserve hazard pay Postpartum fashion surprises (underwear MVP, anyone?) How our dogs are adjusting to life with a tiny hu...

In this episode, we pick up right where we left off — deep in labor, hanging on by a thread (and an epidural), and doing everything we said we didn’t want to do. Because when it comes to childbirth, your “birth plan” is more like a suggestion… and the universe might just laugh in your face. We talk through: The one thing I swore I wouldn’t do… and why I had to do it anyway The moment things got scary — and bloody — fast What surprised us most about pushing, delivery, and those final minutes Meet...

We had a baby! 🎉 But let’s rewind a bit… because the journey to meeting our son was anything but chill . In this episode, we take you inside the wild ride that was our birth story — starting with the moment we were told we’d be induced, all the way through 75 hours of poking, prodding, gas-and-air, and yep , screaming “I want a C-section” in a crowded ward. From one cervix that refused to cooperate to a midwife named Bob (??), and a labor room we weren’t sure we’d ever get to — this episode is ...

Recorded straight from the edge of chaos — this episode is coming to you just before we head to the hospital to be induced . Baby isn’t here yet , but the countdown is on... so we decided to record one last episode while Sophia’s contractions are still theoretical. We’re in the weirdest limbo — hospital bags packed, pants basically off, emotions running high, and zero clue how this is all going to go down. Naturally (pun intended), that means we’re overthinking everything — from our birth plan t...

This one takes you way behind the scenes. We recorded this episode when Sophia was 9 months pregnant — swollen, emotional, and just three weeks out from meeting our son. We’re talking: The unexpected third-trimester symptoms no one warned us about 🤯 Our (very different) thoughts on making a birth plan and why Sophia’s still struggling to make a decision The honest, vulnerable fears that come with being on the edge of such a massive life change It’s raw. It’s real. And it captures a moment in ti...

Welcome to a spicy episode of Relatable with the Roses, where we’re pulling back the curtain on one of our recurring arguments — and letting YOU be the judge. 👀 Every couple has that one thing they just can’t agree on… and for us, this is one of them. We each make our case, try to stay respectful (keyword: try), and then hand the mic over to you: 📣 Who’s right — Sophia or Brad?

In this very first episode of Relatable with the Roses , we’re introducing ourselves and sharing the real, raw, and occasionally ridiculous story of how we became “the Roses.” From our very first meeting to breakups, makeups, and Big Daddy moments (don’t worry, we explain that one!), we’re taking you behind the scenes of our relationship — no filter. We’re answering questions like: ✅ How did we first meet? ✅ What were our first impressions of each other? ✅ Did we think we’d get back together aft...
