S2 Ep47: Thanksgiving Drama | You Asked, We Gave Questionable Advice

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.

S2 Ep46: I Hate Awards

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.  This week's sponsors: factormeals.com and use code sheena50off  shantibhavanchildren.org to donate today!

S2 Ep45: Our “We Still Like Each Other” Trip | Marriage Reset

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's sponsors:  ShantiBhavanchildren.org Indeed.com/Sheena

S2 Ep44: I want to talk, he wants to touch… | MEN VS. WOMEN & THE COMMUNICATION GAP

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. This week's sponsors: CozyEarth.com and use code SHEENA for up to 40% off REVOLVE.com/SHEENA for 15% off your first order with code SHEENA

S2 Ep43: Things Our Parents Did THEN That Would Get Us Cancelled NOW

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. #SheenaInterrupted #SheenaMelwani #TRID #90sParenting #MarriageComedy #Podcast

S2 Ep42: Beyond the Lights: What Diwali Means To Us

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.

S2 Ep41: Too Much Information, Not Enough Soap | The Hygiene Episode

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.

S2 Ep40: We Went There (AGAIN): Fights, Fetishes & Funerals | Unfiltered Q&A

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!

S2 Ep39: Christmas In September, Dancing Horses and Red Hair at Dinner!

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!! https://open.spotify.com/track/632al5NwDGtoT7OztsNXMj?si=a9d7758875cb4a6e

S2 Ep38: Sick, Delirious & Accidentally Hilarious

I recorded this one sick, unedited, and maybe slightly delirious. 🙃 Between coughing fits, TRID accused me of auctioning off my phlegm, I accused him of wetting the bed, and somehow we ended up talking about a $50 bucket of pennies, a grocery store robot, and why romance novels only star men with perfect abs. Basically, the most chaotic sick day podcast you’ll ever hear. If you can make it through the coughs, you’ll laugh just as hard as we did (and maybe question our marriage vows in sickness and in health).

S2 Ep37: Our Kids Think We're Cringe | We Have a Solution...

Today we tackle some really serious issues: would I show my feet for $20K/month (no), why my kids call me “cringe” (sometimes), and how I fell for an AI bear hugging a camper (never living that down). We laugh about “Wiki Palms,” debate whether parents should even try to be “cool,” and land on something real: your job isn’t to be your kid’s coolest friend, it’s to be their parent, while being yourself. If you’ve ever been accused of “cringe,” this one’s your permission slip to lean in (safely socked).

S2 Ep36: We Went There: Intimacy, PMS, Money & The Celebrity Crush Reveal | Unfiltered Q&A

You asked, we answered. From intimacy and how it really changes over time, to in-law conflicts, and even “bedroom heels” (it’s a no from me)… nothing was off limits. TRID and even confessed his celebrity crush, and let’s just say there was a plot twist I didn’t see coming. It’s equal parts hilarious, unhinged, and surprisingly helpful.

S2 Ep35: Joy, Chaos & Questionable Websites

This week on Sheena Interrupted, we’re proving that joy hides in the weirdest places.

S2 Ep34: It’s NOT About Money | What We’ve Learned About Spending, Saving & Sanity

Money, marriage, and mismatched spending habits… this week on Sheena Interrupted, we’re unpacking it all. From the little things (like who loads the dishwasher like a family of raccoons) to the big ones (like impulse-buying houses and kids convinced we’re secretly rich because we said yes to snacks), nothing’s off-limits. We share how our views on spending, saving, and “what’s actually worth it” have shifted over the years, and why laughter might just be the most valuable investment in our marriage.

S2 Ep33: Dads vs Moms: Who Actually Has It Harder?

It’s the showdown every family knows too well: Mom vs. Dad. This week on Sheena Interrupted, we’re diving into the parenting trenches. Sheena’s got the checklists, the snacks, the sunscreen (yes, every inch). TRID? His strategy begins and ends with: “They’ll be fine.” From bedtime battles to snack negotiations, it’s living proof that raising kids with your opposite is equal parts comedy and chaos. Spoiler alert: the kids are smarter than both of us (and they know exactly how to play the game).  Stay for the laughs, the roasts, and what might accidentally double as marriage counseling (for us, not you).

S2 Ep32: Do You Even Know Me!? | The Truth Comes Out

This week on Sheena Interrupted, we’re tackling the question every couple thinks they know the answer to… until they realize that maybe they don’t! From coffee orders to comfort food, camel milk to Zoom calls from the bathroom (yes, really), we are discussing how well we actually know each other.  It’s part relationship quiz, part comedy roast, and part marriage therapy session (minus the therapist). Whether you’ve been together for two months or twenty years, you’ll probably leave this episode wondering the same about your relationship… Do you even know me?

S2 Ep31: We Sent Him to Camp… and He Ended Up in the ER | This Was Not in the Brochure

This week on Sheena Interrupted, we dropped Jae off at camp… and 24 hours later, TRID was driving him to the ER. What started as a three-week adventure quickly unraveled into back-to-back road trips, a mayo-taxed fast food meltdown, and a rock-paper-scissors showdown to determine who’d make the rescue mission. We unpack the full (and fully chaotic) story—and how, somehow, Jae handled the entire ordeal better than we did. It’s parenting chaos, unexpected bonding, and a reminder that resilience sometimes shows up in crutches... and ketchup. ThriveMarket.com/Sheena to start saving today! Sale ends Aug 31st!

S2 Ep29: When The Spark Fades...Can You Still Keep It Spicy?

They say the honeymoon phase ends, but no one really tells you what comes next. In this episode of Sheena Interrupted, we’re getting into the real stuff: how to keep the spice alive when the spark starts to fade, life gets chaotic, and romance isn’t as effortless as it once was. From romance ruts and farting confessions to cowboy book fantasies, we’re serving you truth, tension, and tips for keeping the flame alive…even after 20 years.  It’s honest, it’s hilarious, and it might just make you text your partner something spicy.

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.
