52. Unapologetically Martha
30:22||Season 14, Ep. 52Every girl needs to watch Martha Stewart’s documentary. Martha is peak feminist goals! She ran the world and didn’t apologize for it. A man would have been praised for doing half the stuff she did, but Martha got called a b!tch. No dad ever hears that he's “non-paternal” for not staying home with the kids—so why did we shame Martha like that? Then, she went to prison, came out swinging, and somehow even scored a new BFF in Snoop!Want our podcasts sent straight to your phone?

49. Hold Space For The Messy Days
36:08||Season 14, Ep. 49In this repeat episode we’re talking about holding space for the “ugly” days—the ones where life just feels messy. Maybe you do the same thing as yesterday, but it still feels off. And if we need space to have an ugly day then guess what? So do our kids. Let’s normalize not loving every single moment. Stop fighting the feeling—there’s always tomorrow, or even later today. It’s okay if things don’t change. Bad days happen… for you, and for your kids. And that’s completely fine.Want our podcasts sent straight to your phone?
