run errands
fold laundry
clean the bathrooms
wash your kids with lice shampoo (ugh, it’s been a week over here at my house!)
It was hard to nail down my favorites from this week, but I think I found them. You cannot go wrong with any of these episodes! They are all worth your time and attention and you will be a better, more compassionate, and interesting human after listening!
Here are the top 7…
Monday
Where Should We Begin? With Esther Perel | Say More- Esther Perel on Fantasy with Gillian Anderson | Nov 17 2024 | 1 hr
This episode is a discussion on sexual fantasies with Ester Perel and Gillian Anderson…need I say more. Ester is my go-to sexpert.
Tuesday
Deconstructing Mamas | Unbelieve, Jaded, Whole- Marla Taviano | Nov 18 2024 | 1 hr
Marla cracks me up, she writes about spiritual deconstruction with ridiculous hilarity! In this interview she asks the question, What makes you fart? Listen in to hear what she means ;)
Wednesday

In this episode, we discover why laughter is the true sign of freedom. If you don’t know Ross Gay yet, don’t wait any longer! He’s the guru of joy and delight!
Thursday
Sounds True: Insights at the Edge | Craig Foster- Belonging to the Wild | Nov 19 2024 | 58 min
Craig Foster is the man behind the fabulous 2020 documentary, My Octopus Teacher. This interview is worth every minute of your time, listen while you’re out in nature!
Friday
TED Radio Hour | Life can be so awkward. Here’s how to embrace the embarrassing | Nov 22 2024 | 54 min
One of my favorite parts of the episode is when cartoonist Liana Finck talked about how she reimagined the book of Genesis, and changed God to a woman who is a work in progress, unsure of herself, and lonely. Brilliant!
Saturday
Moms Don’t Have Time to Read Books | Lauren Grodstein, WE MUST NOT THINK OF OURSELVES | Nov 21 2024 | 33 min
Zibby interviews author Lauren Grodstein about her book on Polish Jewish history and the secret archives they kept during the Holocaust. Writers, artists, and journalists assembled to write down the truth, the tiny details of their days, so they would not be erased and taken from them. I put this book on hold at my library!
Sunday
How God Works: The Science Behind Spirituality | The Bad Place | Nov 24 2024 | 45 min
This episode is all about the idea/concept/belief of hell, where it came from, and what it does and doesn’t do for people, fascinating to hear from both sides of the spectrum.
Here’s to a lice-free week my friends!
Happy listening!
