New episode!

From the first solid foods we stock for an infant to the shock of discovering that a half-loaf of bread will do for the week because another college-bound teen has flown the nest, there's a poignant bell curve to feeding a family. Meal planning, shopping, and cooking ebb and flow depending on the stage of parenting we find ourselves in, and today, Meagan and Sarah reflect on the strategies that have served us in different stages, how we remember the years of the expanding family table, and what it's like being on the downslope of that curve these days.

Annalee wants to find a therapist but isn't sure where to begin. Staci, a busy mom of five, is overwhelmed by the chaos of back-to-school and extracurricular activities and is seeking strategies to stay organized. Brandi wants to make her child's senior year unforgettable and is looking for tips on navigating the "mom culture" that comes with it. Meanwhile, Lindsay is curious about the small steps we’re taking to ease the back-to-school transition. We're back this week with MORE listener questions!

Classic Replay in your feed today - just in time for back to school. 🥰

Helping kids navigate social dynamics is one of the most commonly-requested topics from our listeners - and it's top of mind for back to school each year. In this classic replay from 2017 Sarah taps into the expertise of Dr. Eileen Kennedy-Moore (@drfriendtastic), an author, psychologist, and expert on children’s friendships. Sarah asks Dr. Eileen about helping kids who feel left out a school, how to handle the emotional ups and downs of elementary school friendships, and why playdates are more important than we might think. Dr. Eileen also answers questions submitted by our listener community.

Whether you have a slew of "friendlies," just one or two besties, or are coming up short in the friendship department right now, this episode is for you. Meagan and Sarah dive deep into the world of friendships, focusing on our specific season of midlife as moms of older kids. We’ll explore the depth and dynamics of our connections and share how we stay in touch, whether through technology or old-fashioned meetups.
