Summary
On this week’s episode: Elizabeth, Zak, and guest co-host Jaime Green attempt to fix a communication disaster. Our listener received some long-awaited genetic testing results and she was crushed when her partner seemingly couldn’t care less. Can she make him care? Then Elizabeth talks with Larissa Maloney of Active Kids 2.0 about how parents and kids can stay active at home. On Slate Plus, Jaime’s extremely relatable article about how hard it is to be a parent of a kid under five inspired a cathartic round of screaming into the void.
Recommendations:
Zak recommends Le Petit Chef by Opinel.
Jaime recommends Mommastrong.
Elizabeth recommends A Year of Wonder: Classical Music For Everyday by Clemency Burton-Hill.
