do do do do do do here we go my name's Todd this is Gabi welcome back to another episode of Zen

Parenting Radio this is podcast number 571 why listen to Zen Parenting Radio because you'll feel

outstanding and always remember our motto, which is that the best

predictor of a child's well being is a parent's self-understanding. On today's show, Maslow's

hierarchy of needs. Yep. Um, Ezra Klein. Yes. He wrote the article that influenced our decision to

talk about it. But the truth is, what I really want to talk about is that a week from today, if you are listening to this podcast on the day it's released, is the day that we vote. And it's election day. Right. I've already voted. You've already voted because there's like a ton of early voting going on. But a week from today's

election day and we wanted to talk about how voting an election day and what's going on in the

country has to do with Maslow's hierarchy of needs. And you and I for 10 years have referred

to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, and we've never really explained

it. Right. So I think we're kind of doing a bunch of different things today and how it relates

to us, but just to be timely, and also because I am hoping that if you're listening to this,

you've already voted, but if you haven't, I hope you have a plan. Right. So this will get released at 5 a.m. Central.

So if there's any people out there like, yeah, maybe I may, well, maybe I won't.

Maybe this podcast will put them over the edge to go out and do what they have to do, wait in line, do whatever.

Maybe I will.

Maybe I won't what?

Listen to the podcast or go vote.

Oh, yes.

Oh, yes. Oh, gosh, I hope nobody's saying maybe I will, maybe I won't.

So in prep, Kathy just said, before I press record, she's like, I got a bunch of different,

like, puzzle pieces and we're not quite sure how they're going to fit together. So we're just

going to do what we always do, which is roll with it, baby. But first, also on Election Day, we're having a Zen talk.
