Summary
On this episode: Zak, Elizabeth and Jamilah talk about what to do when you’re arguing with your partner… but you have to do it in front of the kids. We’ll talk about how to model healthy disagreement — and when it’s time to hit pause.
We’ll also check in on where the hosts are this week – and then, if you’re coming to hang out on the Slate Plus Playground, the hosts are listening back to their 2024 resolutions and deciding if it truly was the year of “meh.”
If you’re not part of the Slate Plus community, we hope you’ll consider joining! Keep reading to learn how.
Jamilah’s check-in: everyone’s fine!
Elizabeth’s check-in: hot mess express!
Zak’s check-in: improv!
