    Still Laughing, Slightly Sore: Kristin's Birthday & the End of the Season

    In this season finale of Herm’s House Podcast, Kristin and Herm reflect on birthdays, getting older, and the beautiful chaos that comes with family life — all while realizing that recovery takes a little longer than it used to. They talk candidly about celebrating another year around the sun, navigating health conversations that come with aging, and finding humor in the little reminders that time is, in fact, moving fast. From family adventures and milestone moments to honest reflections on what this season of the podcast has meant to them, this episode feels like sitting around the table at the end of a long, full season. As they close out both the episode and the season, Kristin and Herm share their gratitude for the Herm’s House community, talk about why rest and recharging matter, and tease what’s ahead for Season Three. It’s reflective, funny, heartfelt — and very on brand for Herm’s House. ✨ Episode Highlights • Birthday celebrations and end-of-season reflections • Laughing through the realities of aging • Health check-ins and listening to your body • Family adventures and shared memories • Why rest and reset matter • Gratitude for the Herm’s House community • A look ahead to Season Three ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 – Welcome to Herm’s House 02:43 – Birthday celebrations & life milestones 05:24 – Aging, aches & laughing anyway 09:10 – Family adventures & memories 14:37 – Closing out the season 18:48 – Health, humor & taking care of yourself 22:26 – Final thoughts & Season Three preview 🤝 THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS ANCHOR FINANCIAL SOLUTIONS GROUP, LLC 🌐 www.anchorfinancialsolutionsgroup.com 📍 2544 E 10th Street, Tucson, AZ 85716 📞 520.620.5320 BEAUTIFUL SUNDAY MARKETING COLLECTIVE 🌐 https://beautifulsundaymc.wixsite.com/beautiful-sunday-mar 📞 520-405-3298 📧 createabeautifulsunday@gmail.com Your support helps us keep these conversations going and expand our veteran and family outreach. 📌 Support the Show ⭐ Like 💬 Comment 🔔 Subscribe Your engagement helps us grow, reach more families, and continue meaningful in-studio conversations.

    We Grew Up on MTV… Now We Need a Financial Planner

    We didn’t grow up learning how to budget, invest, or plan for the future — but somehow we’re expected to have it all figured out as adults. In this episode of Herm’s House, Kristin and Herm sit down for an honest conversation about family finances, financial planning, and the money habits we inherited (for better or worse). They reflect on how their upbringing shaped their relationship with money, why having a financial advisor isn’t just for the wealthy, and what it looks like to unlearn bad habits while raising kids of their own. The conversation blends real-life parenting challenges, nostalgia for the MTV era, and the reality of adulthood — where financial decisions carry more weight and planning ahead matters more than ever. This episode is for anyone who grew up on pop culture, learned money lessons the hard way, and is trying to do things differently for their family. 💡 Episode Highlights Why financial advisors are for everyday families — not just the wealthyHow childhood experiences shape adult money habitsBreaking unhealthy financial patternsBudgeting and planning for long-term stabilityInflation, adulthood, and why “winging it” doesn’t work anymoreParenting through financial responsibilityNostalgia, MTV, and how culture has changedThe importance of open conversations about money at home 🔊 Sound Bites “We didn’t grow up learning this stuff.”“You need a plan to get there.”“You don’t do your own dental work — why do your own finances?” ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 – Why money conversations matter 10:02 – MTV, nostalgia & growing up 17:51 – Parenting decisions & financial stress 28:01 – Sleep deprivation & real-life chaos 30:53 – Family dynamics & comfort zones 33:27 – Cooking, responsibility & division of labor 36:41 – Growing up & changing family needs 44:07 – Work-life balance & generational differences 🤝 THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS ANCHOR FINANCIAL SOLUTIONS GROUP, LLC 📍 2544 E 10th Street, Tucson, AZ 85716 📞 520.620.5320 🌐 https://www.anchorfinancialsolutionsgroup.com Helping families and veterans build clarity, confidence, and long-term financial stability.

    More Than Resolutions: Reflecting on 2025, Parenting, Growth & Family Life

    As 2025 comes to a close, Herm’s House Podcast takes a moment to slow down and reflect on a year filled with growth, parenting milestones, coaching memories, and big family transitions. In this episode, Kristin and Herm talk about why New Year’s resolutions aren’t enough, how mindfulness and intention shaped their year, and what it’s like watching your kids grow faster than you’re ready for. From launching the podcast and building a new studio space, to coaching youth sports and navigating the bittersweet reality of raising kids, this conversation is honest, reflective, and deeply relatable. Instead of focusing on January goals, this episode is about setting intentions all year long, creating a supportive family environment, and learning how to hold pride and letting go at the same time. If you’re a parent, a coach, or someone navigating change while trying to stay present — this one’s for you. ✨ Episode Highlights Reflecting on 2025 and what truly matteredWhy goals matter more than New Year’s resolutionsParenting through growth, change, and milestonesCoaching youth sports and building communityMindfulness, intention, and personal growth as a familyDocumenting memories before they slip byNavigating the bittersweet season of kids growing up ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 – Welcome to Herm’s House 02:39 – Reflecting on 2025 07:06 – Mindfulness & personal growth 10:57 – Coaching, community & showing up 16:47 – Creating lasting family memories 24:20 – Looking ahead to 2026 33:08 – Navigating family milestones 35:35 – The challenge of letting go 40:38 – Bittersweet transitions 47:16 – New interests & growing independence 51:30 – Goals beyond New Year’s resolutions 🤝 THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS ANCHOR FINANCIAL SOLUTIONS GROUP, LLC 📍 2544 E 10th Street, Tucson, AZ 85716 📞 520.620.5320 🌐 https://www.anchorfinancialsolutionsgroup.com Helping families and veterans build clarity, confidence, and financial stability.

    It’s Not About the Cake: Birthdays, Baggage & Being Seen

    *DISCLAIMER* In typical Herm's House fashion we had some technical difficulties with sound for this episode but it was too good not to share. Thanks for supporting us through our flaws.  Birthdays aren’t always about cake, candles, and celebration—sometimes they bring old baggage, unspoken expectations, and a deep desire to feel seen. In this episode of Herm’s House, Kristin and Herm unpack the emotional weight birthdays can carry, especially when childhood experiences quietly shape how we show up as adults. What starts as a conversation about birthday stress turns into an honest reflection on emotional labor, gift-giving misunderstandings, and the pressure many partners feel to “get it right.” Herm opens up about why birthdays can feel overwhelming—not because of extravagance, but because of past moments where he didn’t feel prioritized. Kristin shares his perspective on intention versus impact, and together they explore how communication (not perfection) is what actually makes someone feel valued. This episode is a reminder that it’s rarely about the cake—it’s about feeling understood, appreciated, and chosen. ✨ Episode Highlights Why birthdays can trigger more emotions than we expectThe deeper meaning behind gifts (yes, even gift cards 😅)How childhood celebrations shape adult expectationsThe mental load of planning and wanting someone to feel seenLearning to communicate needs instead of carrying them silently 🔊 Sound Bites “It’s not about the gift—it’s about what it represents.”“Birthdays bring up old feelings you didn’t realize were still there.”“Feeling seen matters more than doing it perfectly.” ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 – Welcome back to Herm’s House 02:10 – Birthday expectations & stress 07:45 – The gift card story 15:30 – Emotional labor & planning pressure 23:40 – Childhood birthdays & adult reactions 32:15 – Communication over perfection 41:20 – Final reflections 🤝 THANKS TO OUR SPONSORS ANCHOR FINANCIAL SOLUTIONS GROUP, LLC 📍 2544 E 10th Street, Tucson, AZ 85716 📞 520.620.5320 🌐 www.anchorfinancialsolutionsgroup.com Helping families and veterans build clarity, confidence, and financial stability.

    So This Is 40: Wisdom, Wrinkles & Why Are We Like This

    In this special birthday episode of Herm’s House, Kristin and Herm hit pause to celebrate a major milestone — Herm turning 40. From childhood memories and early life lessons to fatherhood, marriage, and the moments that shaped who Herm is today, this episode is equal parts reflection, humor, and heart. Kristin walks Herm through the lessons learned along the way, the mistakes that mattered, and the growth that came from becoming a husband, a dad, and a more intentional partner. There’s plenty of laughter, a light roast (because it wouldn’t be a birthday without one), and honest conversation about what 40 really feels like — listening more, failing forward, choosing family, and learning to be deliberate with the life you’re building. This episode is a reminder that milestones aren’t about perfection — they’re about perspective, gratitude, and showing up for the people who matter most. ✨ Episode Highlights • Herm reflects on childhood memories and how they shaped his outlook • Lessons learned from relationships, marriage, and fatherhood • Why being deliberate matters more than being perfect • Humor as a survival tool (and love language) • Loyalty, legacy, and the Cowboys (because of course) • A birthday roast and a look ahead at what the next chapter holds ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 – Celebrating a milestone: Turning 40 04:32 – Childhood memories & early life lessons 17:51 – Growth, responsibility & fatherhood 26:17 – Resilience, failure & learning the hard way 34:00 – Love, marriage & showing up 39:05 – Life reflections & unforgettable moments 51:50 – Looking ahead: goals, family & what’s next 🤝 Thanks to Our Sponsors Anchor Financial Solutions Group, LLC 📍 2544 E 10th Street, Tucson, AZ 85716 📞 520.620.5320 🌐 www.anchorfinancialsolutionsgroup.com Helping families plan, protect, and build financial confidence for the future.

    In this episode of Herm’s House, Herm and Kristin catch up after a chaotic few weeks filled with sickness, travel, football hype, and some major parenting wake-up calls. They recap their whirlwind trip to Washington D.C., where Herm sang the national anthem (while feeling sick), celebrated their friend Desmond’s promotion to Senior Master Sergeant, and squeezed sightseeing, metro rides, and tight living quarters all into one unforgettable adventure. Then it’s off to Texas, where Thanksgiving brought Cowboys and UT wins, a Texas State game, and one big realization: 👉 They are absolutely not ready for their kids to go to college. Dorms, applications, finances, letting go? Yeah… still processing. It’s travel stories, football energy, parenting panic, and plenty of laughs — all wrapped in that real, honest Herm’s House storytelling. ✨ Episode Highlights • Getting sick right before the big D.C. trip • National Anthem nerves & military promotion pride • Exploring D.C. landmarks on a time crunch • Thanksgiving in Texas • Cowboys & UT wins 🏈🔥 • Texas State game family memories • Real talk about preparing kids for college • Parenting through big transitions • Why shared experiences matter more than perfect trips ✨ Chapters 00:00 – Welcome back to Herm’s House 02:18 – The sickness saga & almost-canceled trip 05:44 – D.C. travel chaos & promotion ceremony 12:30 – National Anthem performance (while sick) 18:12 – Exploring monuments & scooter debates 22:55 – Texas Thanksgiving recap 27:30 – Cowboys & UT win! 31:48 – Texas State game & college panic 39:10 – Parenting reality checks 45:22 – Final thoughts & episode wrap THANKS TO OUR SPONSORS ANCHOR FINANCIAL SOLUTIONS GROUP, LLC www.anchorfinancialsolutionsgroup.com 2544 E 10th Street Tucson, Arizona 85716 520.620.5320  BEAUTIFUL SUNDAY MARKETING COLLECTIVE https://beautifulsundaymc.wixsite.com/beautiful-sunday-mar 520-405-3298 createabeautifulsunday@gmail.com 📌 Support the Show Like ⭐ Comment 💬 Subscribe 🔔 Your engagement helps us grow, reach more veteran families, and continue producing in-studio conversations.

    Raising Them to Leave Us: Parenting, Perspective & Purpose

    In this episode of Herm’s House, Kristin and Herm get real about one of the toughest parts of parenting: raising strong, confident kids who won’t always need you — even though you’ll forever need them. They unpack how childhood experiences shape adult behaviors, why every family defines “right” and “wrong” differently, and how intention matters more than perfection. They also reflect on their recent SSG Kasson's Veteran's Day Four-Day March and the emotional shift it caused in how they view the unhoused community, service, and compassion. From the heavy stuff to the hilarious everyday parenting moments, the conversation stays honest, heartfelt, and full of the real-life perspective listeners love. Whether you’re navigating boundaries, breaking generational habits, or learning to let go just a little — this episode brings comfort, clarity, and community. Takeaways Raising independent kids is the hardest and most important job.Our childhood shapes how we see the world — often more than we realize.Every parent is trying their best with the tools they have.Right and wrong look different in every family.Intentions matter deeply in parenting (even when the execution flops).Perspective shifts — like the Veterans Day march — can completely reshape empathy.Parenting grows us just as much as it grows our kids.Like ⭐ Comment 💬 Subscribe 🔔 Your engagement helps us reach more families, more vets, and grow our mission of community and connection.
