Not Right Now

This week, we have another guest! Dr. Devika Bhushan, a pediatrician, public health leader, former acting Surgeon General in California, and mom, chats with Quinn and Claire about the breastfeeding data nobody tells you about, why sleep protection is literally life-saving for some moms, vaccine hesitancy, raw milk, and all the other health & wellness misinformation swirling around the news cycle. -----------Have feedback or questions?

This week, we have author and journalist Nefertiti Austin on the show to talk about her new book She's Just Spirited: Parenting a Neurodivergent Child and The Diagnosis that Changes Everything. Nefertiti gets real about raising a daughter with ADHD, why ADHD in girls often gets overlooked, glass children, mean girls in the fourth grade, 4:30 AM Roblox drops, and being the petty parent sometimes.-----------Have feedback or questions?

This week, Claire and Quinn chat Halloween logistics, the rear-facing car seat as the ultimate deterrent to having another baby, Claire's solo cabin getaway where doing absolutely nothing is worth every penny, and why it's better to just go to bed angry instead of drag out a fight when you're all exhausted.-----------Have feedback or questions?

This week: We won a podcast award! And now we're immediately spiraling into existential conversations about where we seek approval, why we need it, and how it's completely different (and weirdly the same) for our kids. We're talking about the Eldest Daughter pressure to be in the top 20 in a class of 600, setting "the floor" for your kids' behavior, the implicit contract of putting your art/work/self out there to be judged, and how approval-seeking changes from explicit to implicit.-----------Have feedback or questions?

This week, Claire and Quinn discuss the very normal things like getting back into shape (this time it's happening!), anniversary celebrations that peak at the cheese plate, and whether a C-minus in social studies is actually a problem. Also: fake spiderwebs as voluntary garbage, ICE at school drop-offs (fuck ICE), why anger feels productive but isn't, and your kids going to their very first wake.-----------Have feedback or questions?
