We promised you a lighter episode after tackling the tough topic of grief and here it is! We briefly discuss how Alison has 50% more pets and 50% more kids and how we embrace the label of "try hard" before getting into Alison's fascinating deep dive into the history of recipes. As people in cranberry-growing families, we also share our favorite cranberry recipes and memories before talking about our familial bread recipes. One small disclaimer: this episode was momentarily lost in the archives, so we actually recorded this LAST fall right before Thanksgiving. Lucky for us, now is the perfect time to post it as Lisl's family bread recipe can be found in her brand-new picture book from HarperCollins, STILL THERE WAS BREAD, illustrated by David Soman. Enjoy this delicious bonus episode about all the recipes we love to share!

Brew yourself a comforting cup of tea, curl up under your favorite blanket, and settle in to discuss a tough topic: grief. It's hard to talk about, but we hope you'll join us for "The Things We Wish People Had Said to Us," in which Alison and Lisl dive into the Ring Theory to help determine how to process your own emotions during a tough time while also delivering comfort and care to those around you. This way of thinking has changed how we handle grief and we hope it changes yours, too.

Scoop up a handful of emojis and all those extraneous exclamation marks and join us for “How We Show Up,” in which Alison and Lisl talk about communication. We break down video calls, phone calls, emails and texts, and why sometimes one is better than another for specific circumstances. We share why tone of voice is important, why we appreciate phone calls, and how the next generation seems to avoid them more than we do. We also share anecdotes about tech-gone-wrong, such as the time Lisl’s Apple watch sent a rogue eyeroll emoji, and how Alison and her family sometimes communicates solely in GIFs. Our bottom line on the topic? When in doubt, just reach out!

Take the road less traveled on topics relating to interpersonal relationships and womanhood with Alison Carr and Lisl Detlefsen, two assertiveness-challenged friends. Join them as they share anecdotes and discuss situations in which they wish they had been better advocates for themselves while remaining authentic, empathetic, and kind to others. In addition to being a chronic over-apologizer, Alison is a cranberry farmer, avid runner, and mom to three daughters. In addition to being a major over-thinker, Lisl is a children’s book author, slightly-less-avid runner, and mom to two sons. They both have supportive, long-suffering husbands who were so tired of hearing their wives share all the things they should’ve said that they encouraged them to start this podcast. So they did!
