Matt and Abby open up about what it feels like to raise boys in a moment where conversations around masculinity feel louder and more polarized than ever. They unpack the difference between healthy and unhealthy masculinity, how criticism aimed at grown men can be internalized by young boys, and the role social media plays in amplifying extremes.
They also share their biggest hopes as parents — raising sons with strength, humility, emotional awareness, and a sense of purpose in a rapidly changing world.

Matt and Abby I love watching and listening to your guy's content you sweet funny caring adorable and it's such a big part of my life now. hey Abby there's something I think you should try if you haven't already its called a belly band it comes in 2 Pieces one is a little lose or fitted and the other piece you just strap it with the velcro that is on the 1st piece and once you do that it takes pressure of from where your belly is laying.
my fave podcast 💕💕
Thank you for sharing your real and authentic selves with us. Talk about being brave! I've been watching off and on for about 2 years but only on YouTube and never realized you were "Canceled" on 2 separate occasions. I'm so sorry you went through that! But to come through that with your head up and maintaining your positivity is really amazing. I love your content, keep it up!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE
