Summary
Laura and Sarah intended for this episode to be about getting out of ruts, but first, came a debate -- are ruts even a bad thing? Where does routine cross over into "rut" territory, and can that vary? They discuss individual tolerances to repetition and then dive into ideas for getting out of ruts, should you find yourself in one! In the Q&A, they answer a listener question about being ~40 with two kids and deciding whether to go for #3.
