#1 We Are IN IT - Why We Started a Podcast in the Middle of the Chaos

In the very first episode of In It with the Banks, Matt and Alyssa kick things off with a look into why they decided to start this podcast in the middle of raising three kids under five. Between bedtime sprints, half-finished dinners, endless hobbies, and collapsing on the couch at 8:30 p.m., they talk candidly about how hard it can be for couples to stay connected once kids enter the picture. They dive into: * Why this podcast is part time-capsule, part date-night * The struggle of “what do we even do together anymore?” * The many (many) hobbies Matt has tried to force Alyssa into * The reality of evenings filled with phones, Paw Patrol, and Parks & Rec reruns * How easy it is to slip into autopilot as parents — and why they’re trying something new It’s honest, funny, a little self-roasty, and incredibly relatable for anyone who’s “in it” with young kids. Welcome to the Bank family. Let the chaos begin.
