Episode 74: There's No Place Like Home

Lily is back with an update on that Trans-Atlantic move...and she explores the pre-occupying question: What is home? Not to ruin the surprise, but to get to the answer, we have to pass through the gauntlet of falling madly in love with ourselves. Here is a link to the song "Home" by Phillip Phillips: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HoRkntoHkIE I want to give a great big fairy godmother thank you to Claude Ekwe, who wrote the song "La Joie", to Matt Kugler and the gang who performed it, and to Seven Productions in Mulhouse, France who have graciously let me use it as the intro and outtro to the show. To Jo, Eric and all the team at Seven: I miss you and am so darn proud of you I could burst. Also, thanks to James Jarrett, the new voice you hear in the disclaimer at the top of the pod. I owe you some Reese's, ya junkie.

Episode 71: The Ideal Parent

In this episode, Lily returns to the Ideal Life Theme of Parenting, and just how important it is to articulate the kind of parent that we want to be--even if we never arrive at the knee of the Ideal Parent we dream of being.
