We're on a winter break, so we're bringing you a few of our older faves while we spend some time getting ready for the new year! We hope you're enjoying your holidays and that you'll tune in for new episodes in January 2020! ------------ Ever wonder what house plants have to do with staying present and enjoying the “now,” while also looking to the future? Well, we didn’t. But we got there anyway. Right after a talk about how women, and especially female creatives, are coming into their own and refusing to let their work be controlled without their consent.

We hope you're enjoying your holidays and that you'll tune in for new episodes in January 2020! --------- If you’re anything like us, you scroll news reports reading only the headlines and spend copious amounts of time digesting the latest happenings of the entertainment world. And *maybe* you have the occasional conversation about how to raise moderately good human beings. We’re talking today about how to raise inclusive kids, and we’re adding your advice to the convo! Some things we do and some things we need to start doing are all on the table, and we’re also touching on how we as adults can model behavior for these little people (both in good and bad ways.) But first, the Emmy’s, do shows stand the test of time, and a little talk about poverty and homelessness to whet our appetites for a discussion about raising inclusive kids! Naturally.

We're kicking off today's episode by talking about some celebrities making hard calls and refusing to keep silent, and we're continuously inspired by the example of women who do the hard but necessary work all the time, both in the spotlight and out of it.

We're wrapping up our episodes on boobs (for now!) with the founder of our boob month idea, April Robson! We're sitting down today to talk about all the ways we feed our babies, whether with our boobs or with a bottle or with something else! As usual, we make a lot of jokes around here. Sarcasm is our love language, but in all seriousness, we believe that fed-babies are happy babies, no matter how you achieve that with your babies! Breast-fed, bottle-fed, or spoon-fed, feeding-tube, whatever works for you is what's important. Wondering about the tampon tax? Check out this article as a starting point!
