This week on Sheena Interrupted, we’re celebrating a huge milestone… and unpacking why it made me deeply uncomfortable. We celebrated our YouTube plaque for 100,000 subscribers which sent me spiraling back to childhood awards, second-place trophies, and that feeling of never quite being “the best.”
TRID thinks awards are just souvenirs of the journey. I’m over here wondering if they quietly mess with us on a deeper level and the way we see ourselves…
Also in this episode: we discussed into Olympic Medals, Grammys, Streamys, and why some people crave recognition while others want to run from it.
If you’ve ever:
• Felt weird accepting a compliment or an award
• Worked just as hard as everyone else and still didn’t get “first place”
• Taken time off for kids or life, and are now trying to come back to work or your dreams…then this episode is for you.
Stay till the end for some terrible award puns from TRID, a live mini performance of The Christmas Song, and a little reminder that you’re not defined by a trophy…or the lack of one.

S2 Ep45: Our “We Still Like Each Other” Trip | Marriage Reset
On our honeymoon we joked, “Give it ten years.” Ten years later...kids, careers, and beautiful chaos; we hadn’t fallen out of love, but we had stopped making time for it. Then came one intentional getaway: the kind that brings back the flirting, the laughter, the sunrise talks about everything and nothing. It was an honest look at how we’d drifted, and how easy it can be to find each other again.
Also featured in this episode of Sheena Interrupted: our “immortal” friends, panicking about getting back in shape, and a heated Greece vs. Peru vs. South Africa debate.

S2 Ep44: I want to talk, he wants to touch… | MEN VS. WOMEN & THE COMMUNICATION GAP
This week on Sheena Interrupted, we are unpacking one of the biggest mysteries in relationships: why men jump to fix, while women just want to feel heard. From love languages and emotional intelligence to “talkers vs. walkers,” TRID and I are breaking down how couples communicate…and miscommunicate.
We cover love languages, communication styles, and what emotional intelligence in marriage really looks like. It’s equal parts therapy and comedy…just how we like it.

S2 Ep43: Things Our Parents Did THEN That Would Get Us Cancelled NOW
Back in our day, “discipline” came flying in the form of a slipper. Today? It’s all screen time bans and “go to your room.” This week on Sheena Interrupted, we’re comparing life THEN vs NOW…from parenting and punishments to phone calls, freedom, and why Sheena thinks rolling down a hill was peak childhood.
It’s nostalgia meets nonsense: old-school beatings, modern meltdowns, and a debate about whether kids today could survive the 90s.

S2 Ep42: Beyond the Lights: What Diwali Means To Us
This week on the Sheena Interrupted Podcast…We’re freezing, feuding, and feeling everything. From our never-ending thermostat war (one of us thinks “room temp” means sub-zero) to a Diwali celebration filled with laughter, tears, and totally unhinged traditions — this episode goes everywhere. Sheena gets emotional about family, TRID rebrands the Festival of Lights into Gotham City, and somehow cow dung, mirrors, and gift cards all make a cameo. It’s festive chaos, marital comedy, and a surprisingly heart-warming reminder of what really matters.
