Summary
DBAD is back. A lot has happened in the almost 3 years since Gretchen last sat behind the mic. A marriage. A loss. A beautiful baby girl. A stack of business awards. A little PPD/PPA. And a lot of lessons. And now, she’s back.
In this episode, Gretchen reintroduces herself to new listeners and reconnects with the OGs, sharing what’s coming each week and the five lessons that shaped her in 2025. Honest, reflective, and straight to the point, this is the reset, and the reminder, you didn’t know you needed.

| 0:00.0 | D-bad baby. That stands for Don't Be a Dick if you're new here. And we're not sugar-coating |
| 0:07.0 | shit. So let's get into it, shall we? If you are looking for something that is like super polished, |

| 0:33.9 | I mean, you can if you want, but, I would just maybe put in some headphones. |
| 0:39.3 | I have changed so much this year, which has resulted in me not recognizing myself sometimes, |

| 1:10.8 | Okay, so it wouldn't be my podcast. Even my short little comeback episode, I forgot to plug in the fucking microphone. So you're just going to have to forgive me for the odd sound quality. I mean, honestly, it could be so much worse. It's really not that bad. But I did buy this expensive-ass microphone and fucking forgot to plug it in. Also, I never, ever rewatch my stories, especially my fucking |
| 1:28.2 | podcast episodes. And my producer edited out my awkward pauses and sent it over. And Troy accidentally, |

| 2:03.2 | and I really don't give's okay. Like, I'll be bawling at Lenin's wedding one day and blame it on my hormones after giving |
