Pumpkin revealed she slept at the warehouse where she works during the time she wasn't able to stay in the shared homeLauryn "Pumpkin" Efird and Josh Efird adjusted to life as single parents by splitting their time with their kids — and their shared home — last year.
On the the latest episode of Mama June: Family Crisis, which aired on Friday, June 27, Pumpkin and Josh detailed what life was like as they lived separately, but in the same residence.
"Right now, me and Josh are doing this thing called nesting," Pumpkin, 25, explained. "Basically, he's at the house for a week and then I'm at the house for the week, and then we kind of just figure out where we're gonna stay for the [other] week."
"So I just made my bed at the warehouse," she added, confirming that she'd been staying at her place of work. "I feel like I don't have my kids, I wake up at work, go to sleep at work."
Pumpkin initially filed for divorce from Josh after six years of marriage in August 2024, revealing in a settlement agreement obtained by PEOPLE that they'd reached a "bona fide state of separation" since that July.

As Josh explained in the latest Mama June episode, for them, it's "all about what the kids need." Josh and Pumpkin share four children: Ella, 7, Bentley, 4, and 2-year-old twins Sylus and Stella. "Doing it by yourself is a whole-nother ballgame," Josh said. "It's a constant battle with bath time and diapers and all this stuff. I mean, it's hard."
"I just hate being alone on the weeks that it's not my week," he added elsewhere in the episode. "What you get to do is have time to sit and reflect and think about all the things you can change or go back and fix."
The differing schedules for the couple led to their eldest daughter acting "kind of weird about it," Pumpkin said, although she noted it was "nothing out of the ordinary."
"I just think the more we just keep moving on to the future, everybody will be better," she said.
Nearly a year after she filed for divorce from her ex, Pumpkin caught up with PEOPLE this month about how life has changed and how 'things are really, really great' in her new relationship with Darrin Kitchens. She also detailed how fans are going to catch a glimpse of her "co-parenting relationship" with Josh throughout season 7.
'I think you're going to obviously see us navigating the difference of we were married for 10 years and now we have to go to a co-parenting relationship,' she said. 'So I definitely think you'll see the struggles of that and us trying to figure that out and what co-parenting is going to look like for us moving forward.'
As for her Kitchens, Pumpkin revealed that everyone can "get along" and that he "comes to a lot of family stuff."
"Him and my kids get along. So for me, I am in a much happier place and in a much happier relationship," she said. 'I don't really feel like I have to beg for the bare minimum anymore. It is just already there.'
Mama June: Family Crisis airs Fridays at 8 p.m. ET on WEtv.
