    Postpartum depression, invisible string theory & creating new holiday traditions

    Welcome back to another episode of Just Alex! Harrison finally went back to the dentist and they rolled out the red carpet (see: https://www.tiktok.com/@justalexpod/video/7409333328458911007). Then, we dive into some holiday debates, like whether it’s too early to decorate for Christmas before Thanksgiving, and share our thoughts on creating new holiday traditions. We also discuss the foods we could eat for six months straight (like tater drinking her milk), plus answer your questions about life as parents, dating an influencer, and the relationship shifts we’ve experienced since having a baby. We wrap things up with a discussion on postpartum depression—what it feels like, how to support a partner through it, and available resources.  As always, thank you for listening! ❤️ ---------------------------------------------------------------- Timestamps:  00:00:00 Welcome back to another episode of Just Alex! 00:04:00 Harrison was outed at the dentist 00:09:15 Only scammers tell you to buy a gift card to pay them 00:12:39 Our invisible string 00:15:15 Is decorating for Christmas before Thanksgiving disrespectful?! 00:23:18 What food could you eat for 6 months straight? 00:25:53 Creating new holiday traditions 00:28:00 A baby’s full-o-meter  00:30:27 Q&A: Is the podcast officially Just Alex & Harrison? 00:33:46 Q&A: What’s the best/worst thing about dating an influencer? 00:37:33 Q&A: What relationship pain points have changed with a newborn? 00:41:22 Q&A: What’s one thing nobody tells you about having a newborn? 00:44:35 Q&A: What is the age gap you want for baby #2? 00:45:10 Dealing with postpartum depression 00:55:10 How can a partner help a new mom with postpartum depression? 01:03:55 LOVE YOU GUYS! #justalexpod ---------------------------------------------------------------- Listen to the pod on Spotify/Apple Podcasts:  https://open.spotify.com/show/7BxuZnHmNzOX9MdnzyU4bD?si=5e715ebaf9014fac https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/just-alex/id1737442386 Follow Just Alex Pod: Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/justalexpod/ TikTok | https://www.tiktok.com/@justalexpod Follow Alex: Alex's Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/justalexbennett Alex's TikTok | https://www.tiktok.com/@justalexbennett Follow Harrison:  Harrison's Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/harrisonfugman Harrison's TikTok | https://www.tiktok.com/@harrisonfugman ---------------------------------------------------------------- Powered by: Just Media House -- https://www.justmediahouse.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------- Learn more about your ad choices.

We’re talking about the reality of flying with a newborn for the first time (spoiler alert: traveling is not as easy as it used to be). We also talk about the dos and don’ts when meeting someone’s newborn. Plus, we get into how we split travel expenses as a couple (bc y’all are always asking in my DMs) including whether it’s okay to ever ask your partner to foot the entire bill. Finally, we weigh in on modern-day etiquette - talking to uber drivers, masks on planes, airport pickups—are we still doing these things in 2024?!

    Boob jobs, cheating in school & are kids developing slower?

    Welcome back to another episode of Just Alex! 🎉 We start off with (what we're guessing is) a familiar struggle of the canceled babysitter. We also realized we needed to get on a school list for school like before conception (who knew?) and dive into everything school from "out of classroom growth days" to some high school cheating stories. We share our thoughts on Trump’s McDonald’s shift and discuss the CDC delaying developmental timelines (but honestly it’s hilarious we even care, considering we finally figured out how to use our stroller and change diapers hahhaha) Plus, we chat about post-baby body changes (mainly post-baby boob jobs) Timestamps:  00:00:00 Welcome back to another episode of Just Alex! 00:02:40 Our babysitter cancelled 00:06:30 I didn’t realize I had to pick out a school before I conceived… 00:08:00 Out of classroom growth days 00:09:30 Cheating in high school  00:18:24 We got interrupted… 00:20:45 McDonald’s newest employee 00:25:00 CDC developmental timelines & our food system 00:34:50 We finally learned how to use our stroller… 00:37:20 I also learned how to put on a diaper… 00:42:00 Our new nanny 00:46:15 Boob jobs after babies 00:52:15 LOVE YOU GUYS! #justalexpod ---------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you to our sponsors this week:  Lumen: If you want to take the next step in improving your health, go to lumen.me/JUSTALEX to get 15% off your Lumen.

    Real-life ‘Nobody Wants This’, our families & blending two religions

    Welcome back to another episode of Just Alex! 🎉 We’re all over the place today, starting with what my doctor is calling a "vaginal miracle" then diving into parental brain fog (maybe that's why we're all over the place lol). We talk about why we’ve stopped discussing our kid ('but Alex you have a podcast where all you've been talking about is your baby?!") and tackle the bizarre question of whether I should eat my placenta or use it to plant a tree. We discuss how we're navigating raising a child with two religions and share our personal journeys with our religions. Plus, we’ll touch on Canadian Thanksgiving, give some family updates, and share our work pet peeves.
