This is Biz. And if hosting one bad mother for over 10 years has taught me anything,

it's that parenting is hard and nobody gives a shit. So belly up to the low bar,

we're fine is good enough and you'll never feel alone. This is one bad mother.

This week on one bad mother, when midlife is less of a crisis and more of a new beginning, I talk to Suzette Mullen about starting

over at midlife in your career, personal life, and sexuality.

Okay, maybe I shouldn't dismiss the notion of crisis.

Welcome, Susette.

Yeah, I don't really do anything halfway, so if I'm going to do it, I go just you know I'm an overachiever in in that

way so yeah every possible like yeah yeah definitely I would say crisis somewhere in the middle of all of this.

Before we get into the book, I'd like to ask you what we ask everybody, which is who lives in your house?

Yeah, so right now, who lives in your house? Yeah, so right now who lives with my house

is a spouse, a little dog named Lucy,

and many plants that my spouse has brought in.

They are a big believer in all sorts of living creatures.

And we would have many more living creatures if I if I

tolerate it I was trying to think of the right word that that's a good one yes yes

so is is your spouse like with the plants,

do you like listen to a lot of like Stevie Wonder,

music for plants?

Like, do they have names? Because I have names for my plants?

No well if they do my spouse has not mentioned that to me but all I know is that they

seem to keep multiplying these plants.
