This week on Sheena Interrupted… Sheena is interrupted (aka out of town), so TRID is joined by Jae for a surprisingly real conversation about teens, social media, and the one app every kid just wants for group chats: Snapchat.We get into: Snapchat rules & screen time limits, privacy vs safety, what parents should (and shouldn’t) monitor, how social media impacts teen confidence + mental health, and why “everything disappears” is exactly the problem. Also: hockey schedules, parenting worry spirals, and an extremely unnecessary debate about jumping over cars in an alley (do not try this at home, or anywhere).Thanks to this week's sponsors:Quince.com/Sheena for free shippingBarefaced.com/Sheena for 15% off plus free shipping#parenting #snapchat #teenlife #socialmedia #familypodcast #comedypodcast #sheenainterrupted
This week on Sheena Interrupted, we’re back with Part 2 of your unfiltered relationship questions…and nothing is off limits.Are DMs the new affairs?
Is it harder to stay loyal in the social media era?
What happens when marriage gets boring… or just comfortable?We talk temptation, online attention, emotional cheating, resentment after kids, and the quiet ways modern relationships get tested. From strict parents and secret relationships to remarriage after loss, we unpack what staying loyal actually looks like today. This one is honest, messy, funny and slightly unhinged. Welcome to modern marriage.Thanks to this week's sponsors:Barefaced.com (code SHEENA)CozyEarth.com/Sheena #marriage #relationships #relationshipadvice #modernlove #loyalty #socialmedia #unfiltered
This week on Sheena Interrupted, we answer your anonymous relationship questions during the most dangerous time of year: Valentine’s Day. We talk mixed signals, unresolved conflict, exclusivity timelines, money in marriage, intimacy when life gets busy, and why “not ready” usually means exactly what it sounds like. Equal parts honest, unhinged, and unintentionally therapeutic.This week's sponsorsBarefaced: barefaced.com code SHEENACozy Earth: cozyearth.com/Sheena
In this episode of Sheena Interrupted, we are breaking down the most common marriage myths people swear by. We cover the big ones couples argue about all the time, like: • “Good couples never fight” (spoiler: LOL) • “Never go to bed angry” and the pressure to finish every argument immediately • “If they loved you, they’d just know what you need” • Forgiveness = forgetting (and whether you can forgive without erasing the lesson) • A strong marriage has no resentment (ideal vs. human reality) • “Happy wife, happy life” — myth, truth, or… a complicated family ripple effect?We also discuss love languages, emotional “defaults,” and why communication isn’t just talking more—it’s learning how your partner actually hears you. Basically: relationship advice, but with chaos, roasting, and at least one imaginary whiteboard.If you’re into relationships, marriage advice, couples communication, conflict resolution, emotional connection, and honest conversations about what actually works in long-term love, this one’s for you.#marriage #relationship #podcast This week's sponsor: barefaced.com and use code SHEENA for 15% off
This week on Sheena Interrupted, we are looking back at 2016, when we had two little kids, a camera roll full of smiling selfies, and no idea how depleted we actually were. We talk candidly about that season and what ten years of perspective has shown us. We weren’t behind. We were just in it.We (TRID) also spiraled about leftover confetti from our 100th episode, took an unexpected but very serious glaucoma detour, and listened to TRID pitch a plan involving a random Chad or possibly a goat to boost our views.If you’re navigating parenting, career pressure, or a season that feels heavier than you expected, this episode is for you.

Happy 100th episode!!! We kick off Season 3 with a full celebration…new set, confetti, surprise guests, and an outfit situation that makes absolutely no sense. But underneath the chaos, we actually talk about what this podcast has meant to us, why we started it, why we’ve kept it going, and what we’ve learned after 100 episodes of showing up together every week.We also shared a real moment about independence, anxiety, and what it looks like when you don’t have the words to say “I need you”… and why we think every couple needs a reset button (feel free to boroow our safe word - "popcorn!")This episode is the perfect mix of ridiculous and real..:and we’re so grateful you’re here for it.Thanks to this week's sponsorFactorMeals.com/sheena50off and use code sheena50off to get 50% off your first Factor box PLUS free breakfast for 1 year
This week on Sheena Interrupted we are kicking off 2026 with a behind-the-scenes episode that’s basically our podcast work meeting… but with microphones. We’re testing out our brand new equipment, revisiting our Sheena Interrupted Constitution (yes, we actually have rules), and arguing about what makes a “real” milestone episode…because according to TRID, this is Episode 99.75… not 100.In this episode, we talk New Year goals, how to actually stick to them, my plan to release more music in 2026, and TRID’s dream of giving away everything we own (including things we literally just bought). It’s chaotic, it’s honest, it’s the perfect warm-up before we come back for season 3 with the real Episode 100.This week's sponsors:Cozy Earth: cozyearth.com/SHEENA for up to 20% off!HelloFresh: HelloFresh.com/sheena10fm to Get 10 free meals + a FREE Zwilling Knife
It’s our last episode of 2025… and apparently TRID thinks that means we should film Episode 100 in the nude (or at minimum… “toes only”).We tried to do a wholesome year-in-review, but it immediately derailed into: undercover viewers who won’t subscribe, a HelloFresh ad getting hijacked mid-conversation, TRID claiming the Coast Guard need police dolphins, and me “stealing” all his friends and brand partners like it’s my side hustle.We discussed the year's highlights (magazine shoots, More of You, Anthem singing, more original music, AKA Falling Up and Bruins chaos), the deep stuff (grief + what it teaches you), and end with a heartfelt Auld Lang Syne… or not!Happy New Year. Sleep early. Wake up superior.This Week's SponsorHello Fresh: hellofresh.com/Sheena10FM
This week on Sheena Interrupted, we’re officially in holiday mode…and realizing the holidays don’t hit the same anymore. The kids are older, the elf has become quite lazy, and for the first time ever… Christmas is quiet. Like stay-home, no-chaos, silent night kind of quiet.TRID and I unpack the unspoken rules of holiday survival, the 72-hour limit on family visits, and what happens when traditions shift because everyone’s grown up (even though, according to him, I haven’t changed since 1995). It's a little emotional, and a whole lot of funny!This week's sponsorsMintmobile.com/SheenaFactor.com/Sheena50off (code 50off)
This week on Sheena Interrupted, we’re unpacking the chaos that unfolded when I walked into a vintage shop… and walked out looking like a head butler from 1883... according to TRID, anyway.We dive into my first real thrifting adventure, the men’s blazer that “smells like the 80s,” and the tuxedo tailcoat that sent him into a full on spiral. There’s a lesson on butlers no one asked for, a debate on whether fashion requires permission, and a blanket-dress situation that absolutely does not get resolved.We talked about Gen Z wearing pajamas straight to school, why used clothes suddenly feel cooler than new ones, and how sustainability turns into an accidental identity crisis when your husband thinks you now work at Downton Abbey. It’s chaotic, nostalgic, and aggressively relatable in all the best (and worst) ways.This week's sponsors:Indeed.com/Sheena
This week on Sheena Interrupted, we attempt the impossible: decoding the male and female brains.TRID explains why the bathroom is his “only safe space,” why “I’ll do it later” apparently means don't ask me about it again, and why he believes women only need one pair of jeans (deeply concerning). I break down why I need 12 outfit changes, why I deep-clean when I’m anxious, and why throw pillows are, frankly, a non-negotiable part of civilization.Unhinged? Absolutely. Chaotic? Always. In other words: just another day in our life.This week's sponsors: https://www.shantibhavanchildren.orgRevolve.com/Sheena
This week on Sheena Interrupted, we opened up our unofficial and very chaotic Holiday Hotline and let you run the show. From carb-free cousins and store-bought side dishes to moms hijacking “your” casserole and that dreaded “So… when are you having kids?” question! TRID and I are tackling your real Thanksgiving dilemmas with a mix of sincerity, sarcasm, and way too much honesty.We cover appropriate dinner conversation (aside from politics), how to navigate holidays when you’re married, what to do when guests show up empty-handed but leave with all the leftovers, and whether it’s ever okay to bring your own tupperware and your own meal. Along the way, we detour into TRID’s dream of giving away hair transplants instead of gift baskets. It’s part advice column, part family sitcom, and somehow still a little bit wholesome… in our own chaotic way.This week's sponsors:CozyEarth.com and use code SHEENA for up to 40% offMintMobile.com/SHEENA for premium wireless for $15/moHelloFresh.com/SHEENA10FM to get 10 Free Meals + free breakfast for life!
This week on Sheena Interrupted, we’re celebrating a huge milestone… and unpacking why it made me deeply uncomfortable. We celebrated our YouTube plaque for 100,000 subscribers which sent me spiraling back to childhood awards, second-place trophies, and that feeling of never quite being “the best.”
TRID thinks awards are just souvenirs of the journey. I’m over here wondering if they quietly mess with us on a deeper level and the way we see ourselves…
Also in this episode: we discussed into Olympic Medals, Grammys, Streamys, and why some people crave recognition while others want to run from it.
If you’ve ever:
• Felt weird accepting a compliment or an award
• Worked just as hard as everyone else and still didn’t get “first place”
• Taken time off for kids or life, and are now trying to come back to work or your dreams…then this episode is for you.
Stay till the end for some terrible award puns from TRID, a live mini performance of The Christmas Song, and a little reminder that you’re not defined by a trophy…or the lack of one.

On our honeymoon we joked, “Give it ten years.” Ten years later...kids, careers, and beautiful chaos; we hadn’t fallen out of love, but we had stopped making time for it. Then came one intentional getaway: the kind that brings back the flirting, the laughter, the sunrise talks about everything and nothing. It was an honest look at how we’d drifted, and how easy it can be to find each other again.
Also featured in this episode of Sheena Interrupted: our “immortal” friends, panicking about getting back in shape, and a heated Greece vs. Peru vs. South Africa debate.

This week on Sheena Interrupted, we are unpacking one of the biggest mysteries in relationships: why men jump to fix, while women just want to feel heard. From love languages and emotional intelligence to “talkers vs. walkers,” TRID and I are breaking down how couples communicate…and miscommunicate.
We cover love languages, communication styles, and what emotional intelligence in marriage really looks like. It’s equal parts therapy and comedy…just how we like it.

Back in our day, “discipline” came flying in the form of a slipper. Today? It’s all screen time bans and “go to your room.” This week on Sheena Interrupted, we’re comparing life THEN vs NOW…from parenting and punishments to phone calls, freedom, and why Sheena thinks rolling down a hill was peak childhood.
It’s nostalgia meets nonsense: old-school beatings, modern meltdowns, and a debate about whether kids today could survive the 90s.

This week on the Sheena Interrupted Podcast…We’re freezing, feuding, and feeling everything. From our never-ending thermostat war (one of us thinks “room temp” means sub-zero) to a Diwali celebration filled with laughter, tears, and totally unhinged traditions — this episode goes everywhere. Sheena gets emotional about family, TRID rebrands the Festival of Lights into Gotham City, and somehow cow dung, mirrors, and gift cards all make a cameo. It’s festive chaos, marital comedy, and a surprisingly heart-warming reminder of what really matters.

Do you scrub your pits… or just rinse and pray for the best? How often do you really wash your jeans? And what even is “two-finger washing”?
This week’s episode of Sheena Interrupted takes personal hygiene way too personally. From loofah loyalty and garlic-pit science to the great jeans debate and one unforgettable “pubic stone” moment, we officially crossed the line between funny and… concerning.
It’s part hygiene PSA, part marriage therapy, and entirely too honest. Consider this your warning: once you hear it, you can’t unhear it.

This week, we are back again and answering all of your anonymous questions…completely unfiltered. From fights and feet (don’t ask) to hall passes, deodorant drama, and the weirdest “posture-pee” conversation ever… nothing was off limits.
Somehow, TRID also managed to write a full country song about loneliness, whiskey, and a dog named Bingo… before convincing me that my new song Falling Up is apparently a pet funeral anthem. (It’s not. Please don’t use it for that.)
So grab a snack, brace yourself, and come hang out with us on the couch for another episode of Sheena Interrupted (where oversharing is basically our love language).
🎵 My new song “Falling Up” is out now everywhere!

We flew to Fort Lauderdale for my dad’s 70th and celebrated three holidays in one weekend. Think Christmas dinner in September (complete with matching PJs and a private chef), a DIY Indian wedding baraat with an inflatable horse, a pool party in a thunderstorm, and a Valentine’s wig parade that almost sent my dad into cardiac arrest from laughing so hard.
Somewhere in the middle, TRID declared Ferrero Rocher to be chocolate Bitcoin, and I nearly drowned in asparagus seaweed, Basically, core memories were made, and chaos was invited.
PS: My new single Falling Up is OUT…go stream it, save it, share!!

I want to share a lesson I had to learn the learn the hard way, grieving is very necessary nor allowing ourselves to truly grieve, trying to be "strong" denying the pain of losing a loved one must be expressed.
