Vibe parenting, hating the 'Mom Marketing Machine', and Pete Davidson's whoopsie daisy

Episode 111. Kari recaps a wild few weeks: back-to-back kid birthday parties, hosting a big dinner, and finally hitting her limit (cold and all). She unpacks the "plastic plates vs. glass plates" framework she's using to figure out what's actually okay to let drop as a parent, and the lesson she learned throwing an IRL meetup with Dr. Aegean Chan of More Than Nine: hire the help. Then she gets into it: why she loves being a mom and hates "the mom space," the Pete Davidson comments about female creators and what they reveal about how society values women's work on the internet, a BBC piece on parenting-advice overload, and a quick reflection on last week's Luke Cook episode and what positive masculinity sounds like in practice.
