About this episode

The episode discusses the Alix Earle vs. Alex Cooper drama and the challenges of being present as a parent amidst societal pressures.

First, we dig into the Alix Earle vs. Alex Cooper drama that has finally boiled over to include the public. Then, Skims co-founder Emma Grede's "max three-hour mom" comments got the whole internet talking, and we're adding our voices to that conversation. It all leads somewhere personal though — because between the feuds and the hot takes, we find ourselves asking: how do you actually be present as a parent when you're stretched so thin? No easy answers, but plenty of honest ones.
