Relatable with The Roses
If you've ever wondered how other couples actually navigate the hard conversations, balance demanding careers without losing each other, or just survive the beautiful chaos of building a life together - you've found your people.
Each week, Bradley (Peloton instructor) and Sophia (business owner) invite you into Casa Rose for the conversations couples have behind closed doors but rarely admit to having. We're talking raw, honest talks about marriage, money, ambition, family planning, and all the messy human stuff you think about in the shower but never say out loud.
Think of it as being a fly on the wall with your most transparent friends. You'll hear them tackle listener questions, share real-time stories from their actual life, get advice from experts who know what they're talking about, and yes - even crash their double dates with some faces you might recognize. This is your all-access pass to a relationship that's figured out how to keep it real and keep it fun.
Welcome to Relatable - where perfect is boring and honest is everything.

Ep 44 | Most Podcasters Wouldn’t Admit This About Building a Podcast… But We Will
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This week on Relatable… we’re pulling back the curtain a little.
We’re talking about what it actually looks like to build this podcast in real time — while parenting, working, auditioning, being sick, and generally trying to keep our heads above water.
From bizarre self-tape instructions and cardboard-tasting protein muffins… to postpartum hair regrowth, podcast growing pains, and the question of whether our show currently has any structure at all — this episode is a very real behind-the-scenes look at where we’re at right now.
We also share some honest thoughts about what’s working, what’s not, and why we’re asking for your help as we figure out what Relatable becomes next.
In this episode, we chat about:
- Bradley’s absolutely wild commercial audition
- Why British self-tapes may be a form of psychological warfare
- Sophia’s postpartum “Chia Pet” hair regrowth era
- The reality of building a podcast without a clear game plan
- Why monetizing a show is way harder than it looks
- The recipe fail that tasted like literal cardboard
- Why our current podcast cover no longer feels like us
- The episodes you guys have loved most so far
- What we’re trying to improve as the show grows
- And the big question: what should we definitely NOT change about Relatable?
We’d genuinely love your feedback as we build what’s next.
