This podcast just reached a huge milestone! To celebrate (but mostly to take a breather after a rough week and before next week's big episode), Emily recorded from her living room floor and responded to listener voicemails about the things they said they’d never do as a parent, but totally ended up doing once they had kids.  MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: We All Know Too Much About Nutrition (Burnt Toast Podcast) Kindred by Parents | Kindred on Instagram This Food Writer Owes Parents an Apology (NY Times Article) Dear Moms-to-Be: Never Say Never (What's Up Moms Article) FOLLOW MOTHER MOTHER: Learn more about Mother Mother at mothermotherpodcast.com Follow Mother Mother on Instagram at @mothermotherpodcast Get the newsletter: https://bit.ly/3BgTyds FOLLOW THE HOST, EMILY FARRIS Instagram @thatemilyfarris Twitter @thatemilyfarris - Questions?

This week, Emily is joined by one of her oldest friends, Tanei Atagi Henry — a writer, non-profit director, mom, and wife in Provo, Utah. Emily and Tanei talk about their not-so-picturesque hometown, Tanei’s life in the Mormon church, and the Christmas Emily spent with Tanei’s family.

Can moms avoid getting every virus their kids bring home? Which is more important: sleep or exercise? Are pregnant women the most annoying patients? Why doesn’t anyone talk about their hemorrhoids? In this week’s episode, Emily’s GP, Dr. Jennifer Sturich-Cummins, answers all these questions and more.

This week Emily is joined by Kelly Glass, Executive Editor of Black Parenting at Parents.com. Kelly admits that her never-ending divorce made some parts of lockdown easier and shares how she survived the summer of 2020 with two Black sons. Then Emily and Kelly talk skincare, sleeping bras, and why the media needs to do a better job of centering non-white families — something Kelly is tackling with her soon-to-launch vertical at Parents. Before they part ways, Kelly offers some sound advice to white parents who are afraid to talk about race.  More from Kelly Glass: Read Kelly’s stories at Parents.com Follow Kelly on Twitter: @kellygwriter Follow Kelly on Instagram: @kellyglassthejournalist Follow Mother Mother: Learn more about Mother Mother and this guest at mothermotherpodcast.com Follow Mother Mother on Instagram: @mothermotherpodcast Get the newsletter: https://bit.ly/3BgTyds Follow the host, Emily Farris: Instagram: @thatemilyfarris Twitter: @thatemilyfarris - Questions?

This week, Emily talks with her old friend, The Rev. Ann Kansfield, whose book, "Be the Brave One: Living Your Spiritual Values Out Loud" is out December 14. Ann is a self-described "hyper extrovert" and is the first female and first openly gay FDNY chaplain. She was also the very first New York Times New Yorker of the year. Emily and Ann discuss parenting with ADHD, apologizing after a fight, and the surprising place Ann put a refrigerator during lockdown. Ann also gives Emily some words of encouragement for what is sure to be a very busy 2022 (also, how the hell is it almost 2022?!). Buy Ann’s book on Amazon or at Bookshop (using these links helps support this show!). For a signed copy, check out WORD, the bookstore where Emily and Ann met.
