About our hosts
Matthew Allen spends his days immersed in the tech world and his evenings navigating the lively chaos of family life with his wife, Julia Martin. In his free time, he enjoys tackling Star Wars Lego kits, a hobby that perfectly complements his knack for problem-solving.
Julia Martin, a licensed marriage and family therapist, is the family’s steadying force and unofficial wrangler, ensuring everyone stays on track when life gets hectic. When she’s not guiding her clients or managing the household, you’ll find her painting heartfelt creations that bring creativity into their home.
Living in sunny coastal California, Matthew and Julia share their lives with their two daughters, a high-energy German Shepherd who thinks she’s in charge, and two cats who actually are. Their weekends are filled with binge-watching The Great British Baking Show and diving into Minecraft adventures with the kids. Together, they embrace a life that’s wonderfully busy, full of fun, and brimming with love.
