    Ep. 6 - Marriage, Meltdowns, and the Reality of Raising Kids Right Now

    This week on One More Thing, it is one of those episodes where everything feels a little too real. We get into the everyday chaos of marriage and parenting, from early morning blowups and missed buses to the ongoing challenge of getting kids to take responsibility for school, emotions, and everything in between. There are honest conversations about IEPs, anxiety, therapy, and the constant balancing act between supporting your child and pushing them to grow. Along the way, we talk about what it actually means to parent through big emotions, both theirs and ours. From patience running out to moments we are not proud of, this episode doesn’t sugarcoat the reality of raising kids while trying to hold it all together yourself. We also dive into getting older, feeling out of touch with technology, shifting friendships, and how quickly life seems to move from “we’re young” to “how did we get here?” Add in some pop culture, podcast hot takes, and a few rants about the current state of the world, and you’ve got a conversation that is equal parts funny, frustrating, and deeply relatable. This is the kind of episode that feels like sitting at the table with friends and saying the quiet parts out loud.

    Ep. 5 - Ohio Politics, Democratic Chaos, and the Fight for the Future

    On this special episode of One More Thing, Shaina sits down with longtime friend and political insider John Farina for an unfiltered deep dive into Ohio politics following the primary election results. From local judicial races and party endorsements to the future of the Democratic Party in Ohio, the two unpack the personalities, power struggles, and political dysfunction shaping Cuyahoga County and beyond. They discuss the influence of labor unions, low voter turnout, controversial endorsements, and whether Democrats are getting in their own way ahead of critical statewide races. The conversation also takes aim at familiar political figures, explores the growing divide between establishment Democrats and progressives, and examines why candidates like Brian Poindexter and Amy Acton could signal a new path forward for Ohio Democrats. Sharp, funny, brutally honest, and occasionally chaotic, this episode is a candid look at the state of politics from two people who have spent years in the trenches.

    Ep. 4 - Broadway Dreams, Whales, and Raising Emotionally Strong Kids with Laurel & Ezra

    This week on One More Thing, we are joined in studio by Laurel Hoffman and her son Ezra for a conversation that covers everything from Broadway to parenting to the state of the world. We kick things off with the excitement around a wildly creative Titanic musical, complete with a Celine Dion twist, before diving into theater, favorite shows, and why live performance still hits different for the next generation. From there, the conversation shifts into family life. We talk about school transitions, spring break plans, screen time, and the little things that make childhood feel both chaotic and meaningful. Ezra brings his own perspective on everything from favorite foods and TV shows to whales, gaming, and what it’s like growing up right now. As always, things take a deeper turn. We get into parenting philosophies, raising emotionally aware kids, therapy, and how to help children navigate a complicated world without shutting down their feelings. There is also honest discussion around politics, responsibility, and what it means to use your voice. It is a mix of light, funny, thoughtful, and real. Exactly what you would expect when multiple generations sit down at the same table.

    Ep. 3 - Politics, Parenting, Pop Culture, and Why Afroman Won - with Carrie Miller

    This week on One More Thing, Shaina is joined by longtime friend Carrie Miller for a conversation that goes everywhere in the best possible way. We dive into local politics, Northeast Ohio power dynamics, county races, city leadership, and why communities need fighters who are willing to ask hard questions and actually get things done. From Beachwood development drama to the future of Cleveland, this episode is packed with the kind of honest political talk you do not usually hear. Then things take a turn into parenting life, raising outspoken kids, navigating spring break chaos, gaming culture, and what happens when your six-year-old develops extremely strong political opinions of her own. We also get into pop culture obsessions, reality TV, The Pitt, favorite shows, Buffy heartbreak, and one of the wildest real-life stories of the year involving Afroman, police overreach, and how turning lemons into lemon pound cake became a courtroom victory. It is smart, funny, passionate, and completely unfiltered.

    Ep. 2 - Spiders, Screens, and Survival Mode Parenting

    This week on One More Thing, we are deep in the chaos of real life with special guest Carrie Miller. It starts with an unsettling discovery that spiders can swim and somehow only gets more unhinged from there. From parenting challenges and school projects that become full family responsibilities, to screen time battles, sibling dynamics, and the mental gymnastics of modern motherhood, this episode covers it all. We get into the realities of raising kids in a world of Minecraft, YouTube, and constant stimulation, and the struggle to set boundaries that actually stick. There is also plenty of honest conversation about relationships, division of labor at home, and the invisible load that so often falls on one partner. Along the way, we spiral through childhood stories, internet rabbit holes, perimenopause realities, and the kind of unfiltered moments that make you feel a little less alone in the madness. If you have ever tried to balance parenting, partnership, and your own sanity all at once, this episode will hit home.

    This week’s episode is a special collaboration between One More Thing and Everything Is Local, featuring an in-depth conversation with County Council candidate Ebony Spann. Running in District 11, which includes Beachwood, Euclid, South Euclid, Lyndhurst, Richmond Heights, and Highland Heights, Ebony shares the personal experiences and community insight that shaped her decision to run for office. From her upbringing and time in the Navy to raising her sons and navigating systems that often fall short, her story is rooted in resilience, service, and a deep commitment to local impact. We talk about what county council actually does, why oversight and accountability matter, and how local government decisions directly affect everyday life. Ebony also opens up about balancing campaign life with motherhood, her passion for equitable access to services, and why real change starts at the community level. This is a conversation about leadership, lived experience, and what it means to truly represent the people in your district. If you care about your community, local politics, or simply want to hear from someone bringing a fresh and grounded perspective to public service, this episode is for you.
