#1299- GENDER REVEAL! And Getting Over A...

Brian Mark
About this episode

When girl dad expectations collide with reality: navigating the emotional rollercoaster of our gender reveal 💖


In this episode, Kirsten and I get real about the unexpected emotions that surfaced when we found out we're having a baby girl. I was convinced it was going to be a boy, so much so that I had Kirsten believing it, too… only to be completely shocked during the reveal.


What followed was an intense couple of weeks as we both wrestled with our fears, expectations, and past experiences. Kirsten opens up about her concerns that I might not be excited about having a daughter, while I share the deeper fear behind my initial reaction. We talk openly about how major life milestones tend to trigger our deepest insecurities and how we navigate through them as a couple.


If you've ever experienced relationship tension during what should be "happy" moments, this conversation is for you. We don't hold back on sharing the arguments, the space we needed to take, and ultimately how we came back together stronger than ever, pink Team Girl bracelet and all. Because sometimes the universe gives you exactly what you need, not what you think you want.


Top Quotes:


"Even if you treated me like shit for the rest of my life, I would never leave you. I would go through hell if you put me through it." (07:44)


"Every time you're in your relationship where you have a commitment milestone, that is usually when your fears, your anxiety, your trauma comes up." (09:02)


"Things happen exactly how they're supposed to, not exactly how you have mapped out in your brain." (12:18)
