Sister Wives Season 3 Episode 4: The Four Lives of Kody Brown

Four days in Kody's life see him go from house to house, visiting a different wife each day. Plus, the gender of Robyn, and Kody's baby is revealed! *Content note: Discussion of red flags for grooming and sexual abuse* Hey, I'm baaaaack! I was away for several weeks traveling for work and seeing family. I told myself I would edit while I was on the airplane and I just....didn't. But I'm back and I'm thankful for those of you who've stuck with me!  In this episode, we see Kody spend time at each wife's house, and the dynamics are notably different. Off the top, some of the things I noticed: Christine's nights were bookends of the episode and both nights were family dinners; it's so quiet at Meri's house; time with Janelle was more about interacting with the kids; and Robyn is very intentional about making Kody feel like 'the head of the house'.

Sister Wives Season 3 Episode 3: 4 Houses, 4 Relationships

Robyn and Kody go and see their midwife, but will their worst nightmare come be a reality? Meanwhile the other wives are making over one room in each house. In maybe the first filler episode, the Kody and the sister wives go shopping for furniture. Even though the adults were trudging through a very boring plot line, they still told on themselves on the couch. I forgot how ice cold Janelle was! She's openly disgusted with Robyn's relationship with Kody. Meanwhile, Robyn is micromanaging everyone's marriages. Meri's being passive aggressive because the family made a decision for her. And Christine is trying so hard to mask her heartbreak. Let me know what you think! You can support the show by sharing your rating or review on Spotify or Apple Podcasts. I'd love to hear from you!

Sister Wives Season 3 Episode 2: Teen Sex Talk

Kody, Christine and Janelle experiment with working in real estate; the teens are going out with new friends in Las Vegas; Robyn and Kody receive a scare. I have seen these early episode several times, but there's an interesting dynamic I noticed this time around. Let's just say Robyn's influence on the family and on Kody is especially evident. But only if you're keeping an eye out for it! She is tricky to say the least. Also in this episode, the teens spill their secret-not-so-secret dating history, Christine climbs onto Kody's shoulders, and Janelle is jumping out of her skin to go back to work.  My kids are young, but this episode still got me thinking about their sexual health education, or as it's called in their school-- 'body science', and how I am and will do things differently than the Browns. They sure are shaming and rigid. BUT I think there are more messages being communicated between the lines... How did 'the talk' go for you growing up?  You can support the show by sharing your rating or review on Spotify or Apple Podcasts. I'd love to hear from you!

Sister Wives Season 3 Episode 1: The Announcement

Robyn finally announces her new pregnancy; the older teens' unhappiness starts to bubble to the surface. To be honest, I was not looking forward to this episode. The whole kerfuffle about announcing Robyn's pregnancy with Sol BOTHERS me. From performatively telling Meri 'privately' on camera to Kody framing the official announcement through the de-throning of Truly as the baby to the adults following Leon who was trying to take some space, so many points had me clutching at my chest for how cringy and cruel Kody and Robyn were being. In the end though, the episode as a whole has so many iconic moments that must be unpacked. Christine calling Pastor Ray a shark predating on their children to his face. Robyn yelling about frontal lobes. It's a good one. You can support the show by sharing your rating or review on Spotify or Apple Podcasts. I'd love to hear from you!

Sister Wives Season 2 Episode 11: Sister Wives in the City of Sin

The Browns finally arrive in Las Vegas but face new challenges in building their life away from Utah, like finding a home. Meanwhile, which wife has exciting news to announce? As the Browns settle in the vacation rental, they are sitting with this new reality: they no longer live under one roof, they have to find housing in under a month, and that will require a whole lot of money they don't really have. There's plenty of discussion of finite resources, what's fair, and whose needs and wants take priority when. Janelle is stressed about money. Logan continues to carry too much responsibility. Kody is just giddy to be in a new place. And Robyn is excited to decorate.  You can support the show by sharing your rating or review on Spotify or Apple Podcasts. I'd love to hear from you!
