Band Wives Podcast

This week, The Wives sit down with incredibly insightful guest and music-industry therapist @denisedevenishcounselling to talk about the mental health challenges in music and other creative industries, addressing conflict head-on, the co-existence of magic and suffering, mom life, and why pizza and chips with vinegar cures all. From Bon Jovi’s infidelities to cockroach infestations, this one covers everything. Listen in and consider it your weekly therapy sesh. #bandwives #bandwife #bandwivespod #therapy #mentalhealth

This week, the Wives are welcoming lovely, non-stop hustling Ashley Meyer to the show to talk about life as a merch maven, not letting the hard days make a hard life, off-day activities, advice, Taco Bell (how have we never covered this tour staple?) and how to deal when your fiancé is your boss. Having to record from the back of a moving vehicle in the rural midwest doesn’t make for the best sound quality, but such is the BW life. Bear with us please! Also, there was an eclipse and Misha’s sinus infection won’t go away. #bandwife #bandwives #bandwifelife #bandwivespod

Episode 77 with the lovely @caitlinthomsen hit us right in the feels with a message of learning to accept yourself completely and be proud of who you are—imperfections and all! 💕 #bandwives #bandwivespod #bandwivespodcast #bandwifelife

Sunny days are upon us and the Wives are inspired to make big overhauls and try new things in this week’s new full-length episode. This week’s guest is lovely North Carolina transplant, home hardware account manager and band wife, Caitlin Thomsen, who’s sharing her daily mantras and tips for making big moves while raising two boys on the go. From chasing the unknown in the midst of a pandemic, to embracing (or erasing?) your flaws, to why bad TV is better with an English accent, handling “free-time” jealousy while holding it all down, and how brand new knobs and handles can upgrade your entire home, Caitlin teaches us all to dance to the chaotic techno beat of our own drums. Also, Misha is taking vitamins (for now), and Chonny is taking her kid to school in silk pajamas. #bandwives #bandwife #bandwifelife #bandwivespodcast

In this week’s episode, the Wives are checking in with powerhouse attorney and newborn mama, Haley Giovannani Raneri, to talk work/life balance, baby jams, honest communication and finding the perfect power suit. While watching Suits. Also, Chonny has had a week and Misha is suspiciously tired.

This week’s episode features a very special guest and the show’s first Theater Wife, acclaimed author, mama and profound thinker, Kelly Cervantes, for a candid and heartfelt conversation about managing unthinkable grief, adapting through life’s challenges, and her recent bestselling book, Normal Broken. There are also tips and strategies for making it through transitional periods (like her husband Miguel’s recent return to regular life after retirement from his role as the longest-running principal in Hamilton), goosebumps left and right, and some excellent advice for literally everyone including, “Be the f**king cockroach!” [TW/CW: This week’s episode speaks to the loss of a child.] In Wife life, Misha contemplates big hair moves and Chondra’s clothing hoarding situation escalates rapidly as she prepares for upcoming The Prizefighter Inferno tour. #bandwife #bandwives #bandwivespodcast #hamilton #theaterwife #grief #loss #normalbroken

Bundle up, babies, it’s cold outside...hopefully. This week, the Wives are cuddling up for a sweet chat with delightful guest and marketing mama, Kristin Colby Way to talk about everything from her online reading group @stayconnectedbookclub and overseas ventures on tour with two littles (with double the kid STUFF!) to the importance of family, Disney and the deep psychological mindf@*k that is reality TV. Also, if this episode has predicted correctly, Misha is likely riding a reindeer through Norway at this very moment and Chonny is ice skating her way to school pick up. #bandwives #kristincolbyway
