Welcome back to another episode of Just Alex! 🎉 We’re all over the place today, starting with what my doctor is calling a "vaginal miracle" then diving into parental brain fog (maybe that's why we're all over the place lol). We talk about why we’ve stopped discussing our kid ('but Alex you have a podcast where all you've been talking about is your baby?!") and tackle the bizarre question of whether I should eat my placenta or use it to plant a tree. We discuss how we're navigating raising a chi...

Welcome back to another episode of Just Alex (& Harrison 😉)!! We are T- ~5 days away from being parents, and the #1 thing on our minds after the hospital tour today: babies getting swapped at hospitals.

Happy Thursday! In today's episode, Harrison and I dive into a conversation we think every couple should have – the all-important "money talk." We discuss how we’re going to structure our budget, prenup (cohabitation agreement in our case 😉), and child support agreement. I've received tons of DMs about the "money talk" before marriage and the transparency (or lack thereof) in how couples handle their finances (budgeting, joint bank accounts, prenups, etc.). We're breaking down our process, what...
