Liz has cancelled Thanksgiving. Kristen is staying in her bubble. We’ve worried, we’ve cried, we’ve reconciled with it, and then sometimes we’re not quite so reconciled. We’re being honest about what we’re missing and what sucks and what the problems are and who we’re judging (ahem leadership) and who we’re trying not to judge. We discuss why women bear so much of the brunt of these decisions, as always.
We’re also finding silver linings that aren’t annoyingly pollyanna-ish, and laughing about our 2020 stuffing choices (from a box). And we’re talking about it all this week.
We think you’ll find it helpful, cathartic, and actually, kind of fun. Take a listen right now, through Apple Podcasts or your own favorite app.
Be sure to subscribe to the Spawned parenting podcast so you never miss an episode. And hey, please join our Spawned podcast community on Facebook because we’re doing a lot of laughing and helping and commiserating over there, with some really great people.
