Join Meagan and Sarah as we share honest thoughts on how we envision ‘holiday mom life’ evolving over the next few decades.

The Life-Changing Magic Of Opting Out AND Of Arbitrary Rules: Episode 493 [Classic Replay Double Feature!]

It’s Thanksgiving week here in the U.S., and we’re welcoming you around our tables with not one but TWO classic episodes from the archives.

First you’ll hear The Life-Changing Magic Of Opting Out (Episode 161), all about our experience finding ways to opt out of the little (and sometimes not-so-little) tasks and obligations that aren’t meaningful to us as moms, making room for more of what is.

Enjoy the double-feature, and we’ll talk to you soon!
