Ep 76: Living In The Slog (and Doree Returns!)
Our very own Doree Shafrir returns from maternity leave and hops back in the podcasting saddle this week. Hurray! Doree discusses her last days of pregnancy, her experience with childbirth, and her new life as a mother. Kate recounts everything she did whilst Doree was away: working on her body image issues, digging into work, and of course — missing Doree. Plus they both discover they've become vegetarian-curious (and shed some tears, too).
