Send us a text You know that fantasy where your kid looks up from their tablet and says, “Sure, Mom, I’d love to play outside!” Yeah… me neither. That’s why I called in Katherine Martinko, author of Childhood Unplugged and professional voice of reason, to talk about how to get our kids (and let’s be honest, ourselves) off the screens without moving to the woods or starting a commune.

What Happens When You Get Spiritual (But Not Religious) with Anne Bokma

Send us a text Okay friends, we’re getting our woo on. And before you roll your eyes, let’s talk about that word for a sec. My guest today, award-winning journalist Anne Bokma, makes an amazing point: why do we call women’s spiritual practices “woo woo” while accepting some seriously wild stuff from organized religion as totally normal? Virgin births, anyone? Anne is the author of My Year of Living Spiritually: From Woo Woo to Wonderful, and this conversation had me nodding, laughing, and ge...
