Ep. 4 - We begin with the end of the world and end on tampon strings

Welcome to Mominous Anonymous! We'd tell you our tag-line if we could remember it. This series is inspired by spontaneous conversations that arose countless times in the course of our cohabitation as two single moms. We finally decided to record some of them. If you enjoy rambling discussions about everything under the sun (and sometimes things in it), then pull up a chair and give a listen. But be quiet fer chriy-yie, the kids are asleep.

Montessori education (come at us, trolls)

Ep. 1 - Homework to Thin-Slicing to Chaos/Order (and back again)
