Relatable with The Roses

• Ep 6 | Part 1: Our birth story

  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 raw, real, and kind of ridiculous in hindsight.We get into:The unexpected hell no moment during inductionWhich item we packed that turned out to be totally uselessThe breakdown in the hallway (and the hero midwife who saved us)Why Brad basically lived on coffee and nerves for 50+ hoursAnd the moment Sophia finally got her epidural (and Brad finally got the call)Plus: pink pads, emotional goodbyes, ghost Wi-Fi, and the deeply honest truth about what those final hours felt like — physically, emotionally, mentally.Whether you’ve had a baby or not, this is the kind of birth story we wish we’d heard before it all started.💛 If you’ve got a wild labor story, DM us — we’re officially part of the “nothing went to plan” club. 🎧 Tap play for part one of the story we’ll be telling (and laughing about) for the rest of our lives.Connect with Us:👉 Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bradandsophia 👉 Submit future questions, topic suggestions, or respond to listener prompts: [email protected]

• Ep 5 | Bags Packed, Pants Off – Induction Day Special 😅

  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 to who’s more likely to cry first.Inside this episode: 🍼 The great C-section vs natural birth debate (and why neither of us is totally sure) 🧳 What we packed in our hospital bag (spoiler: snacks and nipple cream made the list) 😂 A quickfire round of “Who’s More Likely To…” — from pooping on the table to naming the baby after our OB 🤯 Some real talk about what birth is really like — and the pressure women feel to do it a “certain way” 🧠 Sophia gets vulnerable about fears, decisions, and the wild ride her body’s been onAnd yes — we ask the important questions, like:😅 How many people are going to see my va-jay-jay?😅 Should we flip a coin to decide our birth plan?😅 And is a C-section secretly a Marvel villain?🎧 Tune in wherever you listen to podcasts and don’t forget to follow + leave a review — especially if you’ve ever been stitched, split, or surprised during labor.Connect with Us:👉 Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bradandsophia 👉 Submit future questions, topic suggestions, or respond to listener prompts: [email protected]

• Ep 1 | Meet the Roses: He had the accent, she had the patience...

  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 after we broke up? ✅ When did we know we were in love? ✅ What drives us crazy about each other? ✅ What’s something we’ve never shared with anyone else? ✅ What are we most excited about for this podcast and for our future?We talk about the night we actually broke up, how it felt from both of our perspectives, and why it still makes us laugh (and cringe) today. Plus, we share the story of how Brad almost drowned as a baby (yep, that’s in there), and what Sophia can’t stand about Brad’s door-slamming and dog-walking style.If you’ve ever wondered what goes on behind the highlight reel of marriage, or just love hearing how couples really make it work, this is your front-row seat.Connect with Us:👉 Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bradandsophia 👉 Submit future questions, topic suggestions, or respond to listener prompts: [email protected]
