Do you ever wish you could go back and tell your Past Self something? Maybe to slow down, or to care for herself in a tender and loving way? Maybe to take that chance, or go after that job, or let go of that guy (and the gaucho pants) that aren't serving her? In this moving episode, Liz and Laura chat about the decade that helped them grow into the women they are today, and the wise lessons they learned and earned along the way. And PS: when you sit down and think about the ways you've grown, it's heartwarming to see how far you've come. Thanks to our episode sponsors!

Sometimes friendship can be tricky—especially for kids, and *especially* for those making the big transition to middle school. This week, Laura's talking about this season of parenting, and she shares tangible ways to help a kid going through so many changes find their footing and their people. It can be a hard time for everyone, but just remember: you're all going to make mistakes, and that's okay. As a parent, just try and be a loving support to your kid. That's huge during this season, tbh. Thanks to our episode sponsors!

+ how to make it lighter // If you have a partner in parenting, chances are you two divide the labor—but is it equal? How much of the small details (making the appointments, soothing the hurts and bad dreams, keeping up with bake sales and family calendars) fall to one parent? And did you decide on that labor, or did it kind of just . . . fall to one parent? Emily shares research and her own experience in how the unseen load of being the default parent has affected her life, her motherhood, and her partnership. And, most importantly, she shares how partners can work together to create a shared vision for their family that allows every family member to flourish—including how to relieve some burden from the parent who's been bearing the brunt of the load.
