I paused the podcast after the intro to come make this comment.
Raised in an American home with a mother working full time in a job that had her getting home around 6 or 7, and not having a child until my late 30s, I had a steep learning curve when I became a mother. Learning to cook and keep house and stay emotionally regulated with kids’ needs took me 5 years.
I have great admiration for women who can get through the cooking and cleaning and then have all this time to stimulate their brains. I went from always just doing whatever I wanted to having to do all this domestic work that I have never had to, nor learned to do. It took all my brain power to learn TO DO all the domestic labor that our society doesn’t value. I felt like I had to do it and had to do it well and I felt that it should be so simple and easy. Building the process memory up for doing the tasks took a long time. As well as building up the core belief that doing such labor was as valuable to my family’s well being as personal hygiene and all the other self care tasks that I had practiced enough for them to be on auto pilot.
Not gonna lie, I envy moms that have domestic labor skills on autopilot.
Tough weekend for Israel and friends 💔 I listened to this episode twice. So glad I did. So much in it.
I’m bracing myself for this new government, both for my own internal conflict and for what the Israel/Jew-hating people of the world are going to unleash on us. I made a vow to myself that I would limit my twitter outrage intake this year. I’m hermetically sealing myself off from anything but Israeli + Jewish news sources. Speaking of, the podcast Unholy: Two Jews on the News is really good.
I love Chaya Leah’s mom’s parenting advice! That makes so much sense and re: previous episode, I’m with Yael on royals and tsars! I have an innate revulsion towards monarchs. Generational trauma!
I have been searching for help with this, and this is the only place I can see to ask! I'm a paid subscriber and I realized I hadn't seen any content here in a long time, so I'm wondering why it doesn't appear on my feed. Also, I listened to Friday's podcast on my apple app today (#46) 'cause I don't see it here on Substack. Don't wanna keep missing these, what am I doing wrong?
Heya! I have no insight but the episodes always show up in my apple podcast feed even if theyre not posted here. My sense is that Y+CL always post the audio to a podcast feed but don’t always create a Substack post -- or they do it a day or so later.

Thanks Gabrielle. I did notice that.
