This week on the Too Tired Parents Podcast, we're joined by our longtime friend Marisa Houston — known in the indie wrestling world as Miss Regina — for a conversation that bounces between motherhood, mental health, and life inside the ropes. Marisa opens up about raising two now-adult kids (22 and 19), navigating divorce, and why apologizing to your children matters more than most parents realize. She also gets real about the "two sides" of herself: the compassionate mom and friend versus Miss Regina, the confident, mic-dropping wrestling manager — and how building that outlet turned into real therapy for a lifelong fear of rejection. We get the full story of how a chance meeting with Bret Hart and BTW founder Kirk White at an autograph signing pulled her into pro wrestling training in her 30s, why she stepped back from taking bumps, and how she found her true calling managing talent and running signings for legends like Al Snow, Mick Foley, and DLO Brown. Marissa also shares her viral moment from a WWE Raw front-row seat (hello, Nigerian TikTok), her love for Bret Hart, Lita, and Trish Stratus, and why she's such a big believer in indie wrestling as an affordable, family-friendly night out. We wrap it up talking about the surprising parallels between managing wrestlers and parenting — hydration checks, snacks, and all — plus why kids heckling at ringside might be the best part of the show.
