The Book I Needed

On KC Davis' "How To Keep House While Drowning" and care tasks

This week's book is "How To Keep House While Drowning" by KC Davis. Stacee Ballback and I discuss our personal struggles with cleaning and some tactics in this book that have helped us reframe the way we think about care tasks. I hope this conversation enables you to talk to yourself more kindly. You're doing great – no matter how messy your house may be. You can find the book here [https://bookshop.org/p/books/how-to-keep-house-while-drowning-a-gentle-approach-to-cleaning-and-organizing-kc-davis/17540385?ean=9781668002841] or at your local bookstore. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

On Megan Devine's "It's OK That You're Not OK" and grieving

Today, I'm talking with Lars Fritzche-Peterson about losing his wife, Kate Fritzche-Peterson. We discuss Kate's life, what his grief has been like so far, and what he's found helpful in his current grieving process.

On Emily Oster's "Expecting Better" and getting knocked up

Today we're diving into conventional pregnancy wisdom, and why it's just not good enough for the modern woman. A friend of the podcast, who also happens to be a Labor and Delivery nurse, gives us updates on getting knocked up, early pregnancy symptoms, and the judgment she's received from allllll sorts of people.
