Jess and Layne reflect on the conversations we've had this season. We reveal our favorite episodes (which is ok because it's not the same as having a favorite child), share which guests influenced us the most and discuss why it's important to hear from people who are experts in their field and have our own worldviews challenged. We trade compliments, send a message to vegetarians, and, as always, invite you all to become part of our community. It means so much to us that you listen and we think you're doing a great job. We'd LOVE your feedback on what you want from the next season. Use the links below to us a DM or an email!

We love nitty gritty topics like toddler tantrums, personal boundaries and preschool drop offs. But for the Season 3 Finale, we want to zoom out to the big picture, end goal of raising kids. A million different parenting styles, education philosophies, and personal values inform our daily lives with kids, but they're all getting at the same thing: someday this child will be in charge of their own life, how do we prepare them for that? We have our own takes on this but we'd love to hear yours! Tell us in the comments: what do you think is the goal of parenting?

Today's question comes from the VGMC community: Whenever my husband and I are trying to have a conversation my 3 year old daughter ALWAYS tries to continue talking and talk over us. We obviously try to save important conversations for after she's in bed, but it's gotten to the point where he cannot even try to have a short conversation without her starting to talk louder and interrupt what he is trying to tell me.

Apropos of nothing, we recorded a spontaneous conversation about our experiences with and thoughts on various kinds of contraception. We talk about IUDs, the pill, condoms, the pullout method, vasectomies and even a little bit of religious abstinence. It's by far our funniest episode yet and dare we say, sexiest? We really, really want you to hear it BUT we also really, really don't want our parents to hear it.
