Alex and Shane chat about a recent getaway, the bright sides of their recent bad news, Nonna playing it cool during a toddler poop fiasco, and going viral.

 

Erica Fraser of Mom Break discusses time management, organization, misconceptions in motherhood, the difficulties of breastfeeding, and how she'd like to see society reframe motherhood.

 

Author of The Sober Girl Society Handbook, Millie Gooch, discusses her experience with alcohol, being "sober-curious," fun alternatives to drinking, and why more young adults might consider consuming less (or no) alcohol in their daily lives.

 

Listener questions are answered in the mailbag segment, planning date nights, preparing a toddler for the new baby, guilty pleasures, menstruating in prison, and whether it's okay to cry in front of your kids.
