Episode 149: Naptime Drama, Miscarriage, and Lessons of Parenthood with Julia Aziz

Episode 149

7th April 2016

Heads up! There are some discussions about miscarriage in this episode, so please be forewarned if that’s a trigger for you. Or, maybe NAPTIME is a worse trigger?! We wouldn’t blame you if that’s the case. Naps or the lack thereof can be a real son-of-a-somethin’ and despite a cumulative four kids and nearly twelve years of parenting between us, Biz and Theresa don’t necessarily have the answer to the question, “How do I get my kid to take a nap?” Luckily, we get a visit from Julia Aziz. Her book, Lessons of Labor: One Woman’s Self-Discovery Through Birth and Motherhood, is a wonderful reminder that we don’t have to have all the answers all the time.
