Let's listen back to another "You Had Questions" episode as we march towards firing the ole podcast back up! Rolling back to 2020 for this one with Whitney Frost!

What happens when a scratched eyeball, online trolls, and unexpected confessions collide in one unforgettable podcast episode? Find out as our hosts navigate life's messier moments with candor and surprising humor.

Whitney Frost joins via Zoom with a freshly scratched cornea (courtesy of her husband's attempt to remove her contact lens), yet still manages to deliver powerful insights about parenting children with special needs. In a moving segment, she confronts internet trolls who suggest disabled children are "burdens," delivering an emotional response that resonates with parents everywhere: "I cry every day not because my kids are in pain. I cry because I'm going to lose them."

The conversation takes fascinating turns as the group explores everything from ASMR (apparently Whitney's voice can give people "head orgasms") to their genuine parenting mishaps. Amanda confesses to accidentally knocking out her son's loose tooth while disciplining him, while Whitney shares her horror when her daughter suggested she might "beat her with a brick" for misbehavior.

Through listener questions, the hosts reveal their perspectives on marriage, friendship, political divisions, and even which of their children is their favorite (spoiler: some jokingly chose the family dog). Despite Jamie being sick and Whitney managing with one functioning eye, their chemistry shines through with authentic banter that feels like eavesdropping on friends in your living room.

This episode perfectly captures why this podcast resonates—it's the rare space where parenting struggles, relationship dynamics, and life's unexpected challenges are discussed with equal parts vulnerability and laughter. Whether you're dealing with special needs parenting, blended families, or just trying to navigate adulthood without losing your mind, you'll find something to connect with here.

This week we look way way back to one of the very FIRST episodes we ever recorded....nearly SIX years ago!

We will be back LIVE and in living color on 6/23!

Life after divorce doesn't have to be a battleground. In this candid Q&A episode, Denny, his ex-wife Jamie, and his current partner Amanda pull back the curtain on their unconventional relationship, answering the burning questions listeners have about how they've created a functional, even friendly, blended family dynamic.

The trio tackles everything from managing jealousy between ex and current partners to handling discipline across households, setting healthy boundaries, and navigating the complexities of raising children between two homes. With refreshing honesty, they share personal stories about their journey—from Jamie's initial "rules" for their co-parenting relationship to how Amanda found her place in the family structure.

What makes this conversation particularly compelling is the genuine friendship that's developed between Jamie and Amanda, defying the cultural expectation that an ex-spouse and new partner must be enemies. They candidly discuss spending time together without Denny, supporting each other through challenges, and finding common ground despite their different personalities.

While their daughter's cancer diagnosis initially brought them together (hence the podcast name), they offer practical advice for families wanting to create healthier post-divorce relationships without requiring tragedy as a catalyst. As Denny notes, "We're doing this so if you have these questions, you know that it can be fixed... Our story is not typical, but we want to give people the impression it can be done."

Whether you're navigating a recent divorce, struggling with co-parenting challenges, or simply curious about how to create more harmony in your blended family, this episode offers both inspiration and practical wisdom from three people who've turned what could have been a bitter situation into something unexpectedly beautiful.

What happens when cancer forces a divorced couple to rediscover what truly matters? In this candid conversation about blended families, we explore the surprising bonds that formed after our daughter's leukemia diagnosis transformed our fractured family into something stronger and more beautiful than we could have imagined.

Five years after her final treatment, we celebrate our daughter being officially considered a cancer survivor—a milestone that has us reflecting on our unconventional family dynamic. Jams shares how she's come to love her ex-husband's new children so deeply that she'd "fight for those kids" if anything happened to their parents. Meanwhile, Amanda describes her initial discomfort watching her ex build relationships with her children, and how that evolved into gratitude for the extended support system.

The episode takes a heartwarming turn as we discuss Isabelle's preschool graduation, where her first question was whether "Aunt Jams" would be attending. These moments reveal how children thrive when surrounded by adults who put aside differences to create a loving environment. Through recreating old hospital photos and supporting each other at family events, we've crafted a family structure that defies traditional post-divorce narratives.

We don't shy away from the awkward beginnings—the jealousy, uncertainty, and gradual building of trust that made our current relationship possible. But we also celebrate how this approach has influenced our extended family, with grandparents embracing former in-laws and maintaining relationships that typically end with divorce.

Whether you're navigating your own blended family challenges or simply curious about alternative approaches to co-parenting after divorce, this episode offers both practical insights and emotional resonance. Because sometimes the most beautiful families aren't forged by convention, but by choosing love and connection even when it's complicated.
