Show notes
This week, Kate’s sisters-in-law are back on the pod for a lighthearted convo about a variety of topics in the second half of the episode, like following up on some One Hit Mumbler news, discussing golf course misogyny, what we’d choose as our grift of choice if we lean into the swindler’s economy, the dark side of chocolate, trend fatigue, 90s chain letters, etc. Kate opens by touching on a topic that they discuss later in the ep, in terms of struggling to navigate parenting and self-care in the Information Age when you can find a strong opinion arguing for or against anything ever at a given time, making it hard to know what to prioritize, what’s a legitimate problem, and what’s just the algorithm fear-mongering. She also reviews some things she’s tried in a quest for self-care in the New Year, from a standing desk to neck ‘tox to investigating the influencer-beloved PreNuvo scan. She also briefly rants about feeling slightly trolled by “75 Hard” New Year’s resolutions and questions why we’re supposed to admire people overcoming elective adversity, which likely won’t go over well.
