Show Notes
This summer we've curated your Baby Bubble playlist with a healthy dose of culture-savvy conversation parents actually want - Parenting Out Loud.
Is the family dinner really just a guilt trip with cutlery?
One of the most pervasive pieces of parenting advice is making everyone feel bad about themselves. Jessie Stephens and Amelia Lester unpack the pressure to sit and eat at a dining table together—even when that table (if you have actually have room for one) is buried under laundry and unopened mail.
Also, Kourtney Kardashian says school is outdated. With homeschooling on the rise, is she actually onto something?
Plus, the model who makes money from encouraging women and girls to live a 'skinny' lifestyle. Different generation, different platform, same disturbing message. We discuss.
And in our reccos this week:
-
Amelia's got a brilliantly grim podcast that both you and your kid will love.
-
Jessie shares her sneaky hack to score all the toys—no meltdown required.
Come join the conversation. New eps drop Saturdays. No shoulder spit-ups required.
