Going Nowhere

Having kids changes EVERYTHING... and nobody can really prepare you for it. In this episode of Going Nowhere, we’re getting real about our journey into parenthood, from deciding whether we were ready for kids while building Nowhere Bakery to pregnancy, labor, delivery, and everything in between. We’re sharing the realities of our first birth experience, how becoming parents changed us, navigating a miscarriage before our second pregnancy, and how different it felt going through it all a second time. From the moments that made us laugh to the ones that changed our lives forever, this is the honest, unfiltered side of parenthood that doesn’t always make it onto social media. Because apparently, there’s a reason they call it LABOR.

In this episode of Going Nowhere, we’re taking you behind the scenes of what it was really like to be on Shark Tank: applying, filming, the waiting, the nerves, the moments you never see on TV, and what happens when the cameras stop rolling. What no one watching knew was that, while we were filming one of the biggest opportunities of our careers, we were also living through one of the worst weeks of our lives. We couldn’t talk about it. We couldn’t explain what was happening. We just had to show up, walk onto that stage, and pretend everything was okay. This is the story behind our Shark Tank experience and the part of the story that never made it onto television.
