Ep. 37: The Rebel Mamas & Bachelor Nation’s Amanda Stanton

Alex and Shane talk about the merits of early gift giving, their scariest parenting moment so far, and losing connection with friends in the first couple years of having kids. ⁣ ⁣

The Rebel Mama’s Nikita Stanley and Aleks Jassem join to talk about their bestselling parenting book, The Handbook For (Cool) Moms, and how to not lose sight of your own needs, desires, and identity in motherhood. ⁣ ⁣

Bachelor Nation’s Amanda Stanton discusses her experience being one of the show’s few single moms, and answers all of Shane’s burning (and weird) questions, such as whether men actually do try to “shoplift the pootie.” ⁣ ⁣

A ton of listener questions are answered before the episode closes with a guided meditation led by yogi and friend, Nicole Gatto.
