99. The Relationship Habits I Used to Judge (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There are some things past me would have judged very hard, and apparently two of them are saying "thank you" when my partner does basic chores and enjoying doing basically everything together. I know. The horror. In this episode, I'm talking about the relationship habits I used to judge, starting with thanking your partner for ordinary, expected things around the house. I'm getting into why I used to see that as rewarding the bare minimum, why that reaction made sense at the time, and what chang
98. How to Borrow a Baby (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Do you want your niece, grandbaby, friend's baby, or favorite tiny human to come stay with you, but their parents are not exactly throwing the diaper bag in your direction? In this episode, I'm talking to the grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends, and beloved baby-adjacent adults who want more time with the baby but need to understand what makes parents feel safe enough to say yes.

Margaret and I break down how to borrow the best parts of a custody agreement without needing the divorce part, thank you very much. You'll hear how to think about dividin
95. How to Keep Your Friendships Alive After Having a Baby (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What happens to your friendships after you have a baby? Spoiler alert: they change. In this episode, I'm joined by my best friend Margaret Mason Tate to talk about what happens when one person has a baby, and the friendship suddenly has a brand-new cast member nobody fully prepared for. Margaret and I get very honest about what both sides can do to stay connected, from telling the truth to inviting friends into the trenches, giving each other grace, and remembering that your baby can be your tin
