Braiding Sweetgrass Part 2 with my Aunt Jayne

Welcome to Part 2 of Braiding Sweetgrass. If you didn't listen to Part 1, don't worry. This is a non-linear episodic series so it really doesn't matter. I decided to talk to two different people about the same book because it's just that great of a book and its impossible to talk too much about it. 

This episode is recorded with my Aunt Jayne, who is married to my Uncle Pat, she has a really cool and wise-lady outlook on pretty much everything so I was over the moon that she volunteered to talk about this book with me. 

Enjoy!

In a departure from my normal format, I dive into a Q &A with my cousin Aileen Plough @howtotellastory about her career as a pediatric focused Speech and Language Pathologist and how to engage our kids in language arts at a young age (even infants!) to give them a great baseline for reading comprehension and learning. We even talk about how I met my husband! Its a great dish session.

Follow Aileen @howtotellastory on IG for all the parenting hacks. She even shows us how to use our recycling to set up a kid sized store and teach math and language! The absolute best songs and games for early reading and speech.

In the Dream House by Carmen Maria Machado with my friend Madeline!

This week, I sit down with my friend Madeline and we talk about In the Dream House by Carmen Maria Machado, a masterpiece of a book that challenges form and prose to bring you a memoir that transcends person and place. Making the personal universal. This is a brave book that addresses the realities of domestic violence and abuse in the queer community. Its delicious. Grab a copy, then devour and then hunger for more Machado. She is a literary powerhouse.
