In this raw and unfiltered episode, Kristian Gellibert keeps it all the way real — no fluff, no faking, just truth wrapped in wit.

We dive deep into accountability: why it’s rare, why it matters, and why some people (👀) just can’t take it. From personal stories of co-parenting struggles to reflections on emotional maturity, we unpack what it really means to own your part — and what happens when others refuse to do the same.

But it’s not all heavy. We lighten the load with some hilarious truths, side-eye-worthy one-liners, and honest moments that will have you nodding, laughing, and maybe even texting someone “this is SO you". As always we go off into several tangents....
