Alexis Wants to Move to Japan for an $800/Night 'Birth House'

In this episode of we’re diving into some big life updates and a concept that completely changed how Alexis views postpartum care: the Japanese "Birth House." 🇯🇵👶 After researching the culture of postpartum support in Japan—where mothers can stay in a dedicated "birth house" for around $800/night to focus entirely on recovery—Alexis is ready to pack her bags! We discuss the importance of mother-centered care, why the U.S. might be missing the mark, and whether we can actually justify the cost (Augustus has some thoughts on that!). We also get into: 💃 Our Salsa Journey: The "cross-body lead" and why it almost caused a fight. 📱 New Morning Habits: Augustus is finally leaving his phone downstairs! 💰 The Money Debate: Are you a "cushion" or a "couch" person when it comes to savings? 🛠️ The Bike Rack Saga: How a simple car upgrade turned into a lesson in community (and why you need the right tools!). Questions for the Community: Would you consider "birth tourism" or a birth house for $800/night? Are you a sleeper who wakes up to check your phone, or can you sleep through the night like Alexis? In your relationship, who is the "saver" and who is the "spender"?
