MyMomologue

Hannah and Renee talk about what's making them feel human here in 2020.

If 2020 is a triggering topic--or if you're listening in the future and don't want to hear about it--skip forward to 8:28 as we get into gardening.

In our continued effort to make 2020 less awful, Hannah and Renee talk about the things that are making them happy this week. Included, but not limited to: Leaf Peeping, general mountainous adventures with young kids, and the amazing photography of @strybookluvphotography!

Go give Adrianna a follow and if you're in CA or AZ, be sure to consider contacting her for family pics.

Today Hannah and Renee talk about what's helping them feel human this week amidst the nerves of schools opening up under the thread of COVID.

Making us feel human today: Crying and Sweden.

Yeah, it's a wild ride. Thanks for joining us.

Hannah and Renee talk about the things making them human this week including the insane idea to draft a novel, the relief of not being pregnant or letting your kid get a pandemic haircut, and the comet NEOWISE!

We're back! Feeling less human than ever.

Funny that we've always had the "What's making you feel human" segment as part of the fabric of our show. It's something we, as moms and primary caregivers to our kids, have needed to focus on.

And that was before the global pandemic.

And distance learning.

And while racial injustices are not a new thing, the national tension around it has never been higher.

So this in this, the triumphant return of MyMomologue, we bring back only that segment. What is making us feel human.

And we want to hear from you! What is helping you feel human in this, the year of 2020 ce. Send us a twitter message @mymomologue. Or an Instagram message. Or send us an email at [email protected]. We would love to hear from you. We're in this together and we deeply appreciate you!

This week Hannah and Renee talk about how to be empathetic parents (and partners!)

We dive into how teaching kids empathy is much more nuanced than forcing them to share. It's about understanding how their actions affect other people and ways they can choose kindness. We talk about LGBTQ issues, kids sharing rooms, and how modeling empathy can bring it forth in our kids.

This week we talk about Empathy. How to have it, why it is important, and if kids are even really capable of it. We talk to our MSW, Anna who tells us about compassion fatigue and how kids are born with more (and, oddly, less) capacity for empathy than you might have expected.

Hannah tells a story about a difficult hair cut, Renee talks about the time vaccinations caused her to lose her shit, and Anna talks about her new Instagram account @sprigandbirdbooks.
