Have you ever announced something massive to the world, fully expecting it to break the internet, only to be met with complete radio silence?

In this episode, Michelle is recapping the highly anticipated aftermath of her and Josh's first couples therapy session. While she expected her DMs to explode after opening up about getting professional help, she is sharing why she refuses to hide the messy, unfiltered reality of a normal, busy marriage. From showing up to the therapist's office without her wedding ring to getting a massive homework assignment she’s struggled to complete, Michelle is giving you the raw, behind-the-scenes scoop on what really happens when the "honeymoon" kid-free phase ends, and real life comes rushing back.
