The (2) Too Tired Parents Podcast

From Embalming to Punchlines: A Mortician's Parenting Lessons & Life After Death | Morty Stein

In this episode of the Two Tired Parents Podcast, hosts Myles and Heather Weber sit down with their longtime friend Morty Stein — a retired, dually-licensed Mortician, Stand-up Comedian, and social media personality with over 200,000 TikTok followers on his channel Funeral Home Confessions. Morty shares the fascinating story of how he knew he wanted to be a mortician at just 7 years old, what it actually takes to become a licensed embalmer (spoiler: 2 years of school + 2 years of apprenticeship + 200 bodies), and why nearly 65 of the 70 people who started his mortuary school class dropped out after the first funeral home tour. From the wildest family requests he's ever received (nudist funerals, vibrators in caskets, and yes — the Folgers tin) to the special cosmetics used on the deceased, Morty gives a candid, surprisingly funny look behind the doors of the funeral home. The conversation takes a meaningful turn as Morty opens up about how the 2008 financial crisis forced him to start his own funeral home, which eventually led him to stand-up comedy — and how witnessing so much loss shaped him into a more present, intentional father. He also shares his very detailed, very specific funeral pre-arrangements (hint: Dark Side of the Moon plays for exactly 44 minutes and 42 seconds before the service begins). The group also dives into parenting conversations around explaining death to young children, balancing career with family, social media boundaries for kids, and the importance of letting your children form their own beliefs.

A Real Check-In on Health, Marriage & Keeping It Together | The (2)Too Tired Parents Podcast

It's just the two of us this time — and honestly? It's been a minute since we've had an hour alone that didn't end in sleep. Myles and Heather sit down for a raw, unfiltered check-in on everything that's happened over the past few months: Myles' gallstone attack and emergency ambulance ride to the ER, a battle with pneumonia after a whirlwind cruise ship contract, and Heather's ongoing health journey — including unexplained lumps, pituitary concerns, brain scans, and the emotional weight of facing scary unknowns while raising two little ones. We talk about what it's really like to hold your family together when things feel out of control, how Robyn (4) is navigating mom being sick with more emotional intelligence than most adults, and what it looks like to care for everyone else while slowly forgetting to care for yourself. Plus: baby River's two new teeth, pro wrestling at the public library, dance parties with EDM remixes, and why we're more committed to this podcast — and each other — than ever. If you've ever felt like you're hanging on by a thread (and threads would be great), this one's for you. 🎙️ New episodes of The (2)Too Tired Parents Podcast drop every other Wednesday — subscribe so you never miss one! 📍 Where do you want to see the podcast LIVE?

Raising Mobile Humans: Kelly & Juliet Starrett on Movement, Parenting, and Building Bodies That Last

What if the way we move — or don't move — is shaping our children's future more than we realize? In this episode, Myles and Heather sit down with the powerhouse duo behind The Ready State, Dr. Kelly Starrett and Juliet Starrett, for a conversation that's been 18 years in the making. Kelly and Juliet have been at the forefront of the mobility movement, helping everyday people and elite athletes alike unlock better movement, reduce pain, and build bodies that last. Together, they share how those same principles apply right at home — and why parents may be the most important coaches their kids will ever have. From the habits we're not building in our households, to navigating youth sports culture, to what our kids are actually eating and how it affects how they move, this episode is packed with real, actionable insight. Kelly and Juliet get honest about the simple things families can start doing today to create a culture of movement — and why it matters more than ever. For Heather, this one hits differently. Having drawn on the Starrett methodology throughout her 18-year Health and Wellness career, sitting down with Kelly and Juliet is a full circle moment — a chance to go deeper with the people whose work has shaped so much of her own. Whether you're a parent, a coach, an athlete, or someone simply trying to move and feel better, this conversation will challenge you to rethink what wellness really looks like inside your home.

Words Carry Weight | with Victor Escobedo on Raising Kids, Letting Go & Finding Purpose

This week, Myles and Heather are joined by an old friend — Victor Escobedo, owner of Papalote Mexican Grill and Papalote Salsa in San Francisco. Victor has known Myles for 18 years, hosted his very first open mic, and has been a quiet but powerful influence ever since. In this episode, they get into the weight of words and how we accidentally label our kids, raising bilingual kids and letting them find their own path, the difference between planning and organizing, radical acceptance and mindfulness as a parenting tool, why being a parent is really about your own personal growth, and Victor's lighthouse philosophy — and why goalposts might be holding you back. Plus: beating Bobby Flay, a Michael Jackson road trip story, Christmas letters, and a lot of laughs. Find Papalote Salsa at your local Whole Foods or visit Papalote at 24th & Valencia or Fulton & Masonic in San Francisco.  🛒 SPONSOR: Save 30% off your first Thrive Market box + get a free gift!

Pain Into Purpose | Honest Parenting Talk After Loss w/ Justine Chadly

Some conversations stay with you long after they're over. This is one of them. Heather and Myles sit down with their friend Justine Chadly, founder of In Harmony Music Foundation, for one of the most honest, heartfelt conversations we've ever had on this podcast. Justine lost her son to gun violence. And instead of letting grief consume her, she turned her pain into purpose — building a foundation that uses music to heal communities and create real change. We talk about what grief actually looks like (not the cleaned-up version), the moment that became her catalyst for action, what it means to keep going when the unthinkable happens, and how music became the bridge between devastation and hope. This one isn't easy to listen to — but it matters. A lot. 🎵 About In Harmony Music Foundation: https://www.inharmonymusic.com/ https://www.inharmonyfoundation.org/ In this episode: (Timestamps coming soon) 💬 If this episode moved you, leave a comment below.
