Sister Wives Season 20 Episode 10: Extending an Olive Branch
Janelle celebrates the sale of Coyote Pass by partying with friends in New Orleans. Meri ventures out of her comfort zone and attends a dating event in Las Vegas. Kody owns up to his bad behavior and decides to apologize to each of his ex-wives.Okay, I have feelings this episode. I am so angry and hurt for the children. Kody's fake accountability is infuriating. He will literally travel across the country to apologize to his ex-wives instead of going to therapy. As for the others, Robyn knows her powers to manipulate Kody, Janelle's friends push her boundaries, Meri wants to date someone boring, and Christine...goes bowling I guess. I discuss the different ways of responding to estrangement using Leon, Maddie, and Ysabel, and brainstorm ways Kody could demonstrate his consistency.

Sister Wives Season 20 Episode 9: Standoff at Coyote Pass + Special Forces Reunion
It's an awkward final showdown at Coyote Pass with Kody, Robyn, Janelle, and Meri. Janelle takes a trip to New Orleans and let's loose with girlfriends to celebrate, and Kody considers finding a therapist to help repair relationships with his children.I'm baaaack! I know so much has happened, but I am jumping ahead to Episode 9. This episode is all about estrangement with fathers, and the idea of Kody in therapy. I will tell you what direction I would take if I were his therapist! Since recording this, Leon has confirmed that Kody did not in fact reach out to them as he said in multiple interviews. For all the talk about wanting reconciliation, he's not putting any meaningful effort into making that happen. You can support the show by sharing your rating or review on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.

Sister Wives Season 2 Episode 4: Carving into Polygamy
The Brown family know how to celebrate Halloween in style, and do it with 21 colourful costumes and 24 pumpkins.In this short and sweet episode for my time away, I go all the way back to Season 2 Browns, when they were wholesome, and well, whole. It's really jarring to go from Season 20* to this fun, fluffy 22-minute episode. I'll be back next week continuing with Season 20, but for now, enjoy!*Also, between recording this episode and editing it, I watched episode 2 of Season 20 and wowee so much of this aged like milk. Robyn doesn't consider any of the OG13 her kids anymore. I will definitely be discussing that next week!You can support the show by sharing your rating or review on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.

Sister Wives Season 20 Episode 1: Why I Want to Be a Monogamist
Christine and David visit Janelle in North Carolina to celebrate the purchase of her new property; Kody and Robyn discuss their now monogamous relationship and the possibility of bringing in a new wife; Meri dips her toe back into the dating world.This week marks my first foray into recapping a current season of Sister Wives. While the family is still very aware of the cameras, their guard is lowered, and the vibe is completely different. We see Madison naming her pain in estrangement, Sol being infantilized in real time, Robyn’s covert manipulation, and little signs of Kody's time in the manosphere. And woven through it all is the deep unending grief of losing Garrison, a loss that completely reshaped the family forever and raises the stakes of every decision around contact, distance, and connection. This episode is a toughie, so let's go through it together.I'm away so next week, you'll get another re-watch episode before I return the following week.

A therapist’s exploration of Sister Wives, one episode at a time. In Sister Wives Go to Therapy, I examine the family dynamics, emotional undercurrents, red flags, and personal development portrayed on screen, through a clinical lens. No diagnoses, just thoughtful reflections on what happens when polygamy, patriarchy, and parentification collide in one complicated family.
