| Ep 12 | Are Love Languages Real? Plus Spiders, Swifties, and Paternity Leave Truths | 03 Sep 2025 | 01:00:46 | |
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:
Then, because it is a relationship podcast… we had to talk about the biggest relationship headline right now: Taylor Swift + Travis Kelce’s engagement. 👀 Finally, we dive into love languages. We guess each other’s, debate whether they’re legit (Brad’s skeptical), and share how we’re really doing at expressing love in ways that resonate with one another. Connect with Us: | |||
| Ep 11 | First Baby Smiles, Zero Sleep, and The “Back to Work” Debate | 27 Aug 2025 | 00:56:09 | |
Today we dive into the big question weighing on us right now? 👉 Going back to work.
It’s a raw, real, and slightly sleep-deprived chat about what this next season might look like — and how we’re trying to figure it out together. Connect with Us: | |||
| Ep 10 | Couple's Court gets heated: On time vs. early + listener birth stories gone wild | 20 Aug 2025 | 00:57:59 | |
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? (Spoiler: we may never agree on this one.) 🎧 Plus, we read YOUR wild birth stories — from waters breaking in the frozen food aisle to a baby born in a hospital parking lot to sharing a maternity ward with a reality TV star and a full Bravo camera crew. Let’s just say, “going to plan” is overrated. Connect with Us: | |||
| Ep 9 | Stroke Recovery Update: What's Bradley Trying Now? | 13 Aug 2025 | 00:53:04 | |
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 detour into the worst apartment Sophia ever lived in—the one where she had to put herself to sleep at 6:45 pm because of all the mice. 😬 Note: Nothing in this episode is medical advice. Always consult a qualified clinician for health decisions. Connect with Us: | |||
| Ep 8 | What No One Tells You About the First Month of Parenting | 06 Aug 2025 | 01:04:19 | |
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:
🎮 Plus, we play a game called “Parenting Advice: Yay or Hell No” — where we react to traditional, outdated, and totally unhinged parenting advice from the past. Let’s just say: we have thoughts on “cry it out,” “boys don’t cry,” and why biting your baby back is not the solution. Whether you're a new parent, a dog parent wondering if they’ll adjust, or just love a good TMI overshare — this one's for you. 🎧 Tune in for the mess, the magic, and some questionable advice we’ll definitely be ignoring.

| Ep 7 | Part 2: Our birth story | 30 Jul 2025 | 00:47:38 | |
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:
This is the raw, honest, “we still can’t believe that happened” episode. We’re sharing the pain, the panic, the power, and the quiet after — when it was just us and this brand new little person we somehow made. Connect with Us: | |||
| Ep 6 | Part 1: Our birth story | 23 Jul 2025 | 00:57:42 | |
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:
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.

| Ep 5 | Bags Packed, Pants Off – Induction Day Special 😅 | 16 Jul 2025 | 00:41:30 | |
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: And yes — we ask the important questions, like: 😅 How many people are going to see my va-jay-jay? 🎧 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.

| Ep 4 | Baby Watch (3 weeks before it all went down 👶🏻🍼) | 08 Jul 2025 | 00:51:38 | |
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:
It’s raw. Whether you’re a parent, a soon-to-be, or just here for the messy middle moments — we hope this convo helps you feel a little more seen and a lot less alone.

| Ep 3 | You be the Judge: Dishwasher habits... | 08 Jul 2025 | 00:30:49 | |
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: Whether you’re team Sophia, team Brad, or just here for the chaos, we’re so glad you’re tuning in.

| Ep 2 | IVF'd around and found out... | 08 Jul 2025 | 00:55:59 | |
In this episode of Relatable with the Roses, we’re taking you behind the scenes of our entire IVF journey — the messy, the raw, the hilarious, and the heartbreaking. So many people keep these stories close to their chest, but we’re putting them right on the table. We answer your top listener questions about IVF, sharing what it really looked like for us:
If you’re starting IVF, in the middle of it, or just want to know what it’s really like to grow your family with modern medicine, this episode is for you. Key Takeaways: Connect with Us: | |||
| Ep 1 | Meet the Roses: He had the accent, she had the patience... | 08 Jul 2025 | 00:47:45 | |
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: 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: | |||
