Ep. 56 - Meltdowns, Midnight Ballerinas, and Pet Peeves
from Pop Culture Playdate with Sahar & Anna
We kick things off by talking about the big, overwhelming feelings that come up in us as parents when our kids are mid-meltdown — because the tantrum is happening, but something is happening inside you too. Then we dive into Belle Burden's book Strangers and share our thoughts. Later, we get into the ever-escalating world of wedding party expectations — when did being a bridesmaid become a part-time job? We also have a conversation about "midnight ballerinas" and what that term actually means. And to close things out, Anna adds yet another entry to her legendary list of things she cannot stand - because the list is never truly finished!
