On our honeymoon we joked, “Give it ten years.” Ten years later...kids, careers, and beautiful chaos; we hadn’t fallen out of love, but we had stopped making time for it. Then came one intentional getaway: the kind that brings back the flirting, the laughter, the sunrise talks about everything and nothing. It was an honest look at how we’d drifted,…

This week on Sheena Interrupted, we are unpacking one of the biggest mysteries in relationships: why men jump to fix, while women just want to feel heard. From love languages and emotional intelligence to “talkers vs. walkers,” TRID and I are breaking down how couples communicate…and miscommunicate. We cover love languages, communication styles, an…

Back in our day, “discipline” came flying in the form of a slipper. Today? It’s all screen time bans and “go to your room.” This week on Sheena Interrupted, we’re comparing life THEN vs NOW…from parenting and punishments to phone calls, freedom, and why Sheena thinks rolling down a hill was peak childhood. It’s nostalgia meets nonsense: old-school …

This week on the Sheena Interrupted Podcast…We’re freezing, feuding, and feeling everything. From our never-ending thermostat war (one of us thinks “room temp” means sub-zero) to a Diwali celebration filled with laughter, tears, and totally unhinged traditions — this episode goes everywhere. Sheena gets emotional about family, TRID rebrands the Fes…

Do you scrub your pits… or just rinse and pray for the best? How often do you really wash your jeans? And what even is “two-finger washing”? This week’s episode of Sheena Interrupted takes personal hygiene way too personally. From loofah loyalty and garlic-pit science to the great jeans debate and one unforgettable “pubic stone” moment, we official…

This week, we are back again and answering all of your anonymous questions…completely unfiltered. From fights and feet (don’t ask) to hall passes, deodorant drama, and the weirdest “posture-pee” conversation ever… nothing was off limits.

We flew to Fort Lauderdale for my dad’s 70th and celebrated three holidays in one weekend. Think Christmas dinner in September (complete with matching PJs and a private chef), a DIY Indian wedding baraat with an inflatable horse, a pool party in a thunderstorm, and a Valentine’s wig parade that almost sent my dad into cardiac arrest from laughing s…

I recorded this one sick, unedited, and maybe slightly delirious. 🙃 Between coughing fits, TRID accused me of auctioning off my phlegm, I accused him of wetting the bed, and somehow we ended up talking about a $50 bucket of pennies, a grocery store robot, and why romance novels only star men with perfect abs. Basically, the most chaotic sick day po…

Today we tackle some really serious issues: would I show my feet for $20K/month (no), why my kids call me “cringe” (sometimes), and how I fell for an AI bear hugging a camper (never living that down). We laugh about “Wiki Palms,” debate whether parents should even try to be “cool,” and land on something real: your job isn’t to be your kid’s coolest…

You asked, we answered. From intimacy and how it really changes over time, to in-law conflicts, and even “bedroom heels” (it’s a no from me)… nothing was off limits. TRID and even confessed his celebrity crush, and let’s just say there was a plot twist I didn’t see coming. It’s equal parts hilarious, unhinged, and surprisingly helpful. We’re gettin…

Money, marriage, and mismatched spending habits… this week on Sheena Interrupted, we’re unpacking it all.

This week on Sheena Interrupted, we dropped Jae off at camp… and 24 hours later, TRID was driving him to the ER.

We unpack the full (and fully chaotic)…
