In this follow-up snack episode, Biz Ellis, co-host of One Bad Mother, joins Ophira Eisenberg for another hilarious and honest conversation about the realities of parenting and life’s never-ending chaos. Biz opens up about wrapping up her 12-year podcast journey, navigating grief, and what she might tackle next as her kids grow older. Together, they unpack why parenting in America feels harder than ever, the cultural disdain for kids, and the impossible demands on parents in a system designed to fail them.They also talk about the joys of housecleaning—or gleefully ignoring it—while Ophira dreams of living on a minimalist boat. Biz shares her tried-and-true approach to parenting wins, from managing Halloween meltdowns to embracing her son’s unconventional food choices. This candid chat is a mix of wisdom, wit, and the shared understanding that, despite the chaos, we’re all doing a great job.✨ Subscribe, rate, and review!
