Gretchen also shares how different this pregnancy feels from Lennon’s, from brutal nausea and food aversions to the gender results sitting unopened in her inbox.This episode is raw, hopeful, and very real. If you’ve ever experienced pregnancy after loss, miscarriage, intrusive thoughts, or the fear of celebrating too soon, this one will feel honest, comforting, and a little less lonely.

This week on DBAD… it’s chaos, it’s advice, it’s “what the hell is wrong with men?” energy.We’re kicking things off with Bear updates (because obviously he’s perfect and we’re obsessed), but then we spiral, in the best way, into everything from toxic relationships to internet drama to real-life “am I the dick?” dilemmas.We’re talking:-Love bombers and emotionally unhinged men (yes, we’re naming names… kinda)-Why women still feel the need to shrink themselves in dating-The reality of modern friendships, weddings, and spending money you don’t even have-The biggest red flags you’re probably ignoring (but shouldn’t)-And the one thing you absolutely do when a married man slides into your DMsIt’s unfiltered, it’s honest, it’s slightly unhinged, and it might just save you from making a very expensive or very emotional mistake.If you’ve ever felt like you’re overthinking… you’re not.If you’ve ever gotten the ick… trust it.And if he’s acting weird? He probably is.Let’s get into it.

In this week’s episode, Gretchen shares the emotional, unexpected story of adopting Bear, the rescue dog who showed up at exactly the right time, looking almost impossibly like Moose and Henry combined.She talks about the moment she and Troy saw his photo, why it felt like Moose had sent him, and how grief, timing, fate, and love all collided in one very surreal day. From bringing Henry and Dallas to meet him, to watching Lennon call him “Moose,” this episode is a tender reminder that nothing ever replaces the ones we lose, but sometimes love finds its way back into the house when we need it most.Gretchen also talks about why she will always advocate for rescuing, and the quiet magic of giving a shelter dog the life they deserve.
