This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we’re joined by the Rochells (or should we call them the Kuch family??) — Allison Kuch (content creator, podcaster & self-proclaimed “30-year-old teen mom”) and her husband Isaac Rochell (former NFL player turned broadcaster and certified girl dad) for a double date. We talk about everything — from how they met at Notre Dame (and yes their first date was at Starbucks like Google says) to surviving long distance, navigating finances, and redefining “success” after becoming parents. They open up about solo parenting while busy with work travel, postpartum depression, exclusive pumping for a year (aka living attached to “the robot”), prenups, and how they keep their relationship strong through all of it. Plus: girl vs. boy parenting, who’s the better cook (“Dads Eat Last” energy), their flight-point obsession, and what their next chapter looks like now that life after football is in full swing.
