  • Ep 24. Trails, Trauma, & Preparing Kids For The Real World
    2025/07/09

    In this weeks episode of B-Rich Family Chronicles, we unpack two recent true crime trials. The Karen Read case and the Idaho college murders involving Bryan Kohberger. We share our thoughts on the Karen Read verdict, the controversial 911 call in the Idaho case, and the emotional impact of Kohberger’s plea deal. We also explore the four trauma responses—fight, flight, freeze, and fawn—and how they show up in real-life crises, and how understanding them helps us navigate fear and stress. As parents, we reflect on how to balance protecting our children’s innocence while preparing them for the harsh realities of the world.

From dealing with rude TSA agents to managing travel stress with kids in tow (especially babies!), we share the real, unfiltered truth about traveling as a family. We talk through how we support each other during high-stress moments, and the powerful experience of visiting the National Museum of African American History and Culture in D.C. — why it moved us and why it matters for our kids to witness it, too.

  • Ep 21. The Journey to Our Son: From Doubt to Destiny
    2025/06/18

    In this heartfelt episode of B-Rich Family Chronicles, we open up about the emotional, winding road to having our youngest child. Unlike our twins’ birth story, this journey was filled with deep conversations, uncertainty, and a whole lot of faith. We talk about the emotional decision to expand our family, how the donor we started with became the perfect donor meant just for us, and the sweet (and hilarious) way Brittany found out we were expecting. Brittany also shares some honest, never-before-spoken feelings about what it means to be a parent when biology isn’t the bond. From IVF to faith and family, as always we’re keeping it real. Plus we share how our little guy earned his nickname!

  • Ep 19. The Great Escape, Ceilings Falling, and Slanging It High
    2025/06/04

    In this episode of B-Rich Family Chronicles, we discuss the chaotic prison escape in New Orleans: how it happened, who helped, and why it's giving movie plot meets real life. We unpack a hilariously random text from Blair's sister, and of course break out the movie quotes, because we truly can't help ourselves. Plus, we open up about why date nights are rare in our world (hint: grandparents today are built different), and react to a wild real-life event that felt straight out of Final Destination.


    💬 What’s your escape plan? And are you selling it high?

    2025/05/28

    🎙️In this episode of B-Rich Family Chronicles, we talk about how the kids always get us sick, new Uno rules has us trippin' and Brittany thinks that I'm a cougar (she’s wildin’—it’s less than a year difference!). We’re talking about who's the planner in the relationship, cringing at kissing scenes, and struggling through sentences because... listen, words are hard. Then we take a real turn— with a questions about introducing religion to our kids. Do we still see church the way we did growing up? And what’s up with these mega churches? It’s an honest convo about parenting, faith, and how times have definitely changed within the church. Laugh with us, debate with us, and maybe even catch a cough through the mic (kidding... kind of).


    💬 Are you the planner or the tell me what to do kind of person?
