In this week's Minisode, Chondra and Misha talk gratitude for the most important things in life like family, new beginnings, good books...and public restrooms. Also, some VERY important news from the Band Wives camp that we can't (and likely won't) stop talking about.

No matter how you celebrate (or if at all) finding things to be thankful for helps make the week a little brighter.

In this week's Minisode Q + A, Chondra and Misha tackle a listener's question about finding common ground with parenting styles between partners. The Wives talk in figure eights about raising children, breaking cycles, childhood and nature versus nurture. Also Misha's upcoming Vegas trip and Chonny's desperate attempts to meet Brendan Fraser at New York Comic Con. Special appearances from a rainbow on Misha's face and Chonny's flannel shirt of shame.

This week Chondra and Misha sit down with the luminous and multi-faceted Julia Marie Arnold to chat about pulling double duty as both band wife AND pastor's wife to Stephen Christian of Anberlin. From working in real estate and parenting three daughters, to keeping angry texting in check and building a community in your own backyard, the gang commiserates on the ultra-high expectations for mamas in 2022, tour life and why goat yoga doesn't sound like a great idea.

In this week's episode, Chondra and Misha are talking with the lovely Husna O'Connell about coordinating life for a family of four, her move from the midwest to the East Coast, pivoting plans and kicking mean kids out of the playground. Also Basquiat, Neil Degrasse Tyson, long days, sciencey stuff and whether art has changed for the better (if that's even a thing.)

In this week's Q & A Minisode, Chondra and Misha chat about distance in relationships, keeping things fresh, saying no to normalcy and a big resounding yes to Trader Joe’s, messy bedrooms and being weird.

In this week's throwback episode from tour, Chondra and Misha talk shop with Chonny's Coheed band-wife-mate, the fantastic (and always soothing!) Abigail Stever...from her important and ongoing volunteer work (with both the Compeer Program and as a Rape Crisis Counselor in New York State) to an ever-growing laundry list of accomplishments in life, love and family. Join us for ABBA, wine in paper cups, the best damn Linzer Tarts on Earth, and a deep love for finding your road family + never letting go.

[Disclaimer: What do you get when you have two different dressing rooms in two different time zones with two microphones between three band wives, one loud sound check and ZERO sets of headphones? Pretty bad sound quality. But this one was too fun to scrap. Apologies in advance. Thanks for listening!]

This week's Q & A Minisode has Chondra + Misha talking about mental health and their own strategies for handling stress, loneliness and heartache (that may or may not work for you.) Also what it feels like to release a novel, fostering pets and why it's important to check your kids' backpacks on the first day of school.

Chondra and Misha sit down with wonderfully talented musician and mama Tivoli Crescenzo to talk about joining her brother's high school drum line as a middle schooler, creating core memories with your kids, her best friend Casey and sibling (un)rivalry. Join the Wives as they ask a million questions about living life in the Rain Shadow of the Pacific Northwest and beg Tivoli to build them a treehouse village in her backyard. Between two tour buses in two different states and technological challenges, it's a wonder this episode happened at all--but it was worth the wait.

The Wives are back this week with lovely, sugary sweet special guest Crysta Barrett.

This week's Q & A Minisode has Chondra + Misha answering a BIG one--how to stop the green-eyed monster from effecting your relationships. There's also a lot of gab about favorite kid's jams, victorian mourning gowns and why time absolutely isn't real.
