| Wait… There’s a Doula for Grandparents?! | Kimberly Bepler – Part 1 | 04 Oct 2026 | 00:29:40 | |
What exactly is a Grandparent Doula? We didn’t know either — until we met Kimberly Bepler of ABC Doula! In this special two-part episode of Being Grandparents, Kimberly joins Stevie and Deanne to talk about an important part of her work: helping grandparents prepare for a new addition to the family. Becoming a grandparent is exciting, but it can also bring new expectations, changing family roles, and questions about how much — or how little — to help. Kimberly shares practical advice on communicating with your adult children, respecting boundaries, offering meaningful support, and working together to become the grandparents both you and your kids feel your new grandbaby needs. Whether you're expecting your very first grandchild or you've been a grandparent for years, this conversation offers a fresh perspective on building stronger relationships as your family grows. And yes… there really is such a thing as a Grandparent Doula! #BeingGrandparents #GrandparentDoula #Grandparenting #Grandparents #NewGrandparents #FirstTimeGrandparents #NewBaby #NewGrandbaby #FamilyRelationships #ParentingAdultChildren #HealthyBoundaries #FamilyCommunication #GrowingFamily #GrandmaLife #GrandpaLife | |||
| When the Kids & Grandkids Move Away | The Grandparenting Chapter Nobody Warns You About | 28 Sep 2026 | 00:25:20 | |
What happens when your kids move away—and take the grandkids with them? 😢😂 On this episode of Being Grandparents, Stevie & Deanne talk about a part of grandparenting nobody really prepares you for: when your children and grandchildren move away. Suddenly, Sunday dinners, quick visits, ballgames, babysitting and those spontaneous grandkid moments aren't so spontaneous anymore. How do you adjust when the people who were just down the road are now hours—or even states—away? We're talking about the emotions that come with the change, the funny realities of long-distance grandparenting, and ways families can continue making memories even when they can't be together as often as they'd like. And because this is Being Grandparents, we'll probably find a few things to laugh about along the way. ❤️ We want to hear from you: Do your grandchildren live nearby or far away? How do you stay connected? Tell us in the comments—your idea might help another grandparent! 👍 Like the episode Being Grandparents — because the grandkids may grow up and move away, but you never stop being Grandma and Grandpa.

| Grandparenting in the Digital Age | Alex Colket of Kin-Club | 07 Sep 2026 | 00:29:38 | |
Can technology actually help grandparents and grandkids become closer? On this episode of Being Grandparents, Stevie & Deanne sit down with Alex Colket, developer of the Kin-Club app, to talk about using technology to strengthen family connections across generations. We talk with Alex about the idea behind Kin-Club, why staying connected with grandchildren can sometimes be challenging, and how an app can help grandparents become a bigger part of their grandkids’ everyday lives—even when they don’t live nearby. We also get into the changing role of grandparents, how technology is affecting family relationships, and why meaningful connections between generations matter more than ever. Whether your grandkids live across town or across the country, this conversation is all about finding new ways to stay involved, make memories, and keep family close. 👵👴 Are you using technology to stay connected with your grandchildren? Tell us what works for your family in the comments! 👍 Like this episode Being Grandparents — because raising kids may be over, but the fun is just getting started! https://kin-club.com/ #BeingGrandparents #KinClub #AlexColket #Grandparents #Grandparenting #Grandkids #GrandparentLife #Family #FamilyConnection #FamilyTechnology #Technology #Parenting #Podcast #GrandparentsPodcast #FamilyPodcast | |||

Yep, even grandparents have marital disputes! Then we're talking about what we've been watching, including House of the Dragon on HBO (is the Queen getting a little too whiny?), Lucky on Apple TV+, and The Last House — which leads us to the really important question: If you were stranded and starving, could you EAT your partner to survive? 😳😂 And if you could... WHICH PART WOULD YOU EAT FIRST? Don't worry, Deanne and I discuss it like the mature adults we are. 😂 We also share our trip to Arkansas to spend time with our middle son, daughter-in-law and two grandkids, including hanging out at the creek and visiting the beautiful Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville.

| The Grandparent Survival Challenge: 7 Days Snowed In! | 03 Jun 2026 | 00:33:58 | |
What started as a simple 10-day babysitting adventure quickly turned into a grandparent survival story! 😂 When our son and daughter-in-law left for a dream vacation in New Zealand, Stevie & Deanne happily agreed to watch their 5-year-old granddaughter and almost 2-year-old grandson. The plan was simple: school, daycare, and lots of fun. Then the weather forecast called for 10 inches of snow. While we "only" got 6–7 inches, living at the top of a hill meant we were completely snowed in for 7 days! Suddenly, we found ourselves entertaining two energetic grandkids from 6:00 in the morning until 7:00 at night—with no escape route in sight. 😄 Join us as we share the laughs, challenges, creative activities, and unforgettable memories from one of our biggest grandparent adventures yet. Have you ever been snowed in with your grandkids? We'd love to hear your stories in the comments! 👴👵 Hosted by Stevie & Deanne Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/XV_9cdsVTE4 #BeingGrandparents | |||

| Did Your Family Gather Every Week… or Only for Holidays? | 28 Feb 2026 | 00:37:26 | |
In this episode, Stevie & Deanne share how differently they were raised when it comes to family gatherings. Stevie grew up visiting Grandma and Grandpa every weekend—no special reason needed—just food, fun, and togetherness. Deanne’s family saved get-togethers mostly for holidays and special occasions. They talk about how those traditions shaped their marriage, how they plan family events now, and the secret to bringing everyone together (hint: favorite foods help!). If you’ve ever wondered why some families gather constantly while others rarely do, this episode will feel very familiar. Perfect for parents, grandparents, and anyone who loves family stories, laughter, and practical ideas for keeping relatives connected. | |||

| “E.T., Divorce & Reese’s Pieces: What Spielberg Taught Us About Family (and Aliens)” | 08 Jul 2025 | 00:40:45 | |
In this out-of-this-world episode, Stevie asks Deanne, “Where were you in 1982?” (Spoiler: She was 9 years younger and possibly still playing with Barbies). What starts as a nostalgic trip back to E.T. turns into a surprisingly deep dive into divorce, blended families, friendship, and what it really means to “phone home.” From flying bikes to emotional goodbyes, the grandparents unpack the emotional core of Spielberg’s sci-fi classic—and yes, they do get teary-eyed (but don’t worry, there’s still plenty of laughter and a few jokes about glowing fingers). Perfect for grandparents, film lovers, and anyone trying to explain to their grandkid why this movie made them cry... again. #BeingGrandparentsPodcast #ETPhoneHome #80sMovies #GrandparentsReact #DivorceAndET #FamilyMovies #SpielbergFeels #PodcastLife #ReesesPiecesWisdom #ETAndTherapy #BlendedFamilies #MovieNightMagic #NostalgiaVibes
