Christmas Mailbag Q+A

38 min • 20 december 2022

To spread the Christmas cheer as far as possible, we filled this episode to brim with ALL listener questions! And they were good:

Help! My three-year-old will always be an only child and they really, really, really can't share.
Do you hold your tampon string to the side when you pee or change it every time?
What do I do when my child favors me over my husband and it hurts his feelings?
Budgeting tips!
How do I know if it's time to get divorced?

We will be back with season two in the new year! Until then, we love you all so much and hope you have wonderful holidays

Brands we mentioned: Proof Panties and Foria (CBD sex oil)
