Episode 97 - Is there such a thing as a Mom Life Crisis? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Strange episode today, as Ernie has started school and Al has started walking, but what I want to talk about instead is the weird, wild reaction to the recent Sydney Sweeney ad that has everybody all hot and bothered, for both good and bad. I try to read between the lines and decipher what’s really behind the vitriol, and it leads me to wonder whether there is such a phenomenon I like to call a Mom Life Crisis.
Episode 96 - Joining the family business (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I have been a broken record about how hard this move has been on me, but you know who seems to be taking to it quite well? The kids! Ernie and Al are putting me to shame with how settled in and comfortable they are in their new home, and on this episode I talk about how they got there and the possibilities that we see in them now that they’re moving around like they own the place. All that and more, on a short but surprisingly dense episode of Zad Bod! Thanks for listening!

And amidst this one big change for us all, both of my sons are on the doorstep of another big change in each of their lives, respectively. So listen up if you want to
Episode 94 - Ready to move on from moving (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Good news: we’ve moved! Even better news: we are done getting ready to move! It is such a relief to be in the new house, because I am as worn out as I can remember being. Also, you are hearing this after the move, but I recorded all this on the eve of Moving Day, so when I say I’m worn out, I’m saying it before the move has even taken place. Who knows what state I’m in now. In any case, this episode is a quick little dispatch reviewing how the packing process has gone. Thanks for listening, and
Episode 93 - If we have two houses, we have no home (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We are smack dab in the middle of moving madness, and stuck between two houses! We have the keys to the new house, but we want to keep our stuff in the old house so that it looks nice to potential buyers, but then what, do we sleep on the floor? I don’t mind doing that, but what about our sweet, beautiful, small children? Is this too much to ask of them, or a great opportunity for them to learn how to rough it? After all, one of them is almost 5 and the other is almost walking. It’s about time t
