    Episode 12 -Lets Be Real About Accountability

    In this raw and unfiltered episode, Kristian Gellibert keeps it all the way real — no fluff, no faking, just truth wrapped in wit. We dive deep into accountability: why it’s rare, why it matters, and why some people (👀) just can’t take it. From personal stories of co-parenting struggles to reflections on emotional maturity, we unpack what it really means to own your part — and what happens when others refuse to do the same. But it’s not all heavy. We lighten the load with some hilarious truths, side-eye-worthy one-liners, and honest moments that will have you nodding, laughing, and maybe even texting someone “this is SO you". As always we go off into several tangents....

    Episode 8- Divorce Taught me that

    Divorce isn’t just paperwork—it’s an emotional reset, a personal reckoning, and a journey most people don’t talk about until it’s over. In this episode of Layers of Life, we peel back the layers of heartbreak, healing, co-parenting, and self-discovery. From the moment you knew it was over to the awkward new beginnings, we explore what divorce teaches you about love, peace, and putting yourself back together—especially when kids are involved. We break myths, share personal truths, and play honest (and hilarious) games like “Would You Rather: Co-Parenting Edition” and “Divorce Was the Wake-Up Call When…” This one’s real, raw, and surprisingly empowering.

    Episode 4: Unpopular Opinions: I Said What I Said

    We’re getting spicy this week—and no one is safe. In this episode, we’re dropping our most unpopular opinions and standing ten toes down in them. From brunch being overrated to comfort being confused with connection, we’re letting it fly unapologetically. We also play a little game of FACT or TRASH, where we rate hot takes like: “Marriage is just a business contract” “You don’t need closure to heal” “Some of y’all are in long-term relationships out of habit, not love” Whether you agree, scream-laugh, or clutch your pearls… one thing’s for sure—we said what we said. Vote in our Instagram story polls @lay3rs_of_life and DM us your boldest takes—we might just read them next week.

    Episode 3. Our Childhood Was Low-Key Wild.... But We Turned Out Alright.

    This week, we’re taking a trip down memory lane—and trust us, it’s unfiltered. From riding in the back of pickup trucks with no seatbelts to drinking out the water hose like it was Fiji, we’re unpacking all the hilarious, chaotic, and low-key dangerous stuff we somehow survived as kids. We’re talking parenting then vs. now, why modern kids wouldn’t last a day in our childhood, and playing a brand new game: “Would They Survive?” Spoiler alert: probably not. If you grew up on corner store snacks, dial-up internet, and getting whooped by the entire family tree—you’re gonna feel seen in this one. Tag your cousins. Share the episode.

    Why Adulting is a Scam

    In this episode of Layers of Life, we’re taking a lighthearted (but painfully real) look at the biggest scam of all time: adulting. From bills that never stop showing up to the struggle of choosing dinner every night like it’s a life-or-death decision, we’re talking about the expectations vs. reality of grown-up life—and laughing through it all. I’m also playing a quick round of “Legit or Scam?” where I rate everything from credit cards to vision boards. Spoiler alert: some of y’all’s favorite things might not make the cut. If you’ve ever said, “Nobody prepared me for this,” this episode is for you. Hit play, laugh with me, and share your funniest adulting scam with the pod—I might read it on air next week!
