Scary Mommy Speaks

What a beautiful day in the podcast studio! Keri and Ashley are joined by Emmy winner, dad, and star of the new Mr. Rogers film, A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, Matthew Rhys! We got the inside scoop from Matthew about working with everyone's favorite, Tom Hanks, and how the movie changed him as a parent. We also learn more about cardigans in a game called, "Yay, or Nay." Then, a heartwarming story about the kindness of a stranger from one of our listeners, and of course, confessions!

Welcome to an episode dedicated to the thing all parents cannot get enough of.....SLEEP. We have two incredible sleep experts, Dr. Craig Canapari author of It's Never Too Late to Sleep Train, and head of Yale's Pediatric Sleep Center, as well as Adam Mansbach author of the bestselling Go The F**k To Sleep! We also talk about the power of song to lull our kids to sleep with a segment on Scary Mommy's hit series, The Lullaby League. Finally, we read some of the weirdest things our listeners have done to get their kids to sleep. Sweet Dreams, Scary Mommies!

On this episode Keri and Ashley are joined by co-founder of The Breasties and all around badass, Paige More, who discusses her decision to undergo a double mastectomy at the age of 24. We prepare for the holiday season with a piece on Mother-in-Law dynamics, and high five moms in California who have been supporting each other through the recent wild fires.
