  • Ofrendas

    This week, Amelia talks about her interest in ritual as a way of healing, specifically in the wake of a difficult visit from her mother. Meanwhile, Edan gets some tough critiques on the decor—or lack thereof—in her daughter's room, which leads to some deep motherly introspection. They're then joined by midwife Kathleen Potthoff (25:30), who explains what a midwife does and how she herself came to this vocation. She also schools Amelia and Edan on vaginal resilience and the infamous anal bulge.

  • Qualifying for Sainthood
    In this episode, Edan tells Amelia why she decided to have a HBAC (home birth after caesarean), and the two discuss whether having a third kid would be a terrible or great idea. Plus, Amelia airs her grievances against Luke Bryan and his dumb country song "Most People Are Good." At minute 26:00, they're joined by Lilliam Rivera, author of The Education of Margot Sanchez. Lilliam grew up in the South Bronx and now lives in LA with her husband and two daughters. She talks to Edan and Amelia about being a mom who curses a lot, teaching politics and history to her oldest child, and how her daughters inspired her to write a horror story.
