We kick off this week's episode talking about Kristen's experience with a period cup. After that quick update, we start chatting about our moms and what we admired about how they raised us. We realized that they each had similar goals socially but approached it in near opposite ways. We share funny stories from our childhood and realized that there's no way we were able to get everything into one episode. We will do a part two at some point down the road.

This week Kristen & Talia discuss religion in their homes. We were a little tentative to record this episode, simply because it can be such a hot button for some people. We decided in the end though, we would love to listen to an episode about this topic. One of us is Christian & the other is Jewish, so there are multiple viewpoints here, with a multitude of reasons why we are doing what we do! At the end, Kristen fills us in on her latest read, as well as something new that she's trying!
