Friends with Benefits
Our family is completely unhinged — in the best possible way.
My husband is my third husband. His second wife? She’s my best friend. And yes, we’re neighbors. She’s remarried too, and all of us do life together: the good, the bad, and the downright ugly. And trust me… we’ve had our fair share of ugly.
But here’s the thing: this isn’t a show about perfection. It’s about community. It’s about laughing through the chaos, finding peace in the mess, and reminding anyone listening that “normal families” are mostly a myth created by people who never met one.
If you’ve ever wondered how unconventional families actually work — or you just need a place where your own chaos feels a little less lonely — welcome home.

This episode dives into the first days after child loss — the shock response, the physical symptoms of grief, the disorientation of the first 24 hours, the logistics no one prepares you for, and the emotional impact on surviving children. Katherine also shares how people showed up, the lies grief told her, and what she wishes every grieving parent knew in those early days.
Next week’s episode will focus on rebuilding, community support, and what helped (and didn’t) as her family began navigating life in the “after.”
