About This Podcast

Welcome to Defrost the Chicken—the podcast where we get real about the chaos of parenting. This is a space for moms, dads, and anyone in the trenches of parenthood to feel seen, heard, and a little less alone. From sleepless nights to forgotten dinners (yes, we meant to defrost the chicken), we’re talking about the messy, beautiful, and downright hilarious side of raising tiny humans. We’ll cover everything from postpartum struggles to parenting wins and WTF moments—with stories from parents who are living it too. Heads up: explicit language is used. Because sometimes, “what the fork” just doesn’t cut it. So pour the coffee (or wine), and let’s defrost the chicken—together.
