Wow I am so crazy jetlagged, but let that work in our favor? This week’s ep is all about the impending MUTHA’s DAY. I reflect on what I got out of this trip to London - gone for a week ALONE - and how it’s all so many of us with young kids want sometimes…space, freedom, to be selfish. We listen to callers who tell me what they’d want to do for Mother’s Day if they werent worried about people’s feelings and man does it sound EERILY FAMILIAR. There’s a lot here, including a meditation on Banksy’s latest piece of art that went up in London last week - trust me it’s related.
