Your favorite assertiveness-challenged friends are back for Season 2! Here's a preview of what we have we in store.

We promised you a lighter episode after tackling the tough topic of grief and here it is! We briefly discuss how Alison has 50% more pets and 50% more kids and how we embrace the label of "try hard" before getting into Alison's fascinating deep dive into the history of recipes. As people in cranberry-growing families, we also share our favorite cranberry recipes and memories before talking about our familial bread recipes. One small disclaimer: this episode was momentarily lost in the archives, so we actually recorded this LAST fall right before Thanksgiving. Lucky for us, now is the perfect time to post it as Lisl's family bread recipe can be found in her brand-new picture book from HarperCollins, STILL THERE WAS BREAD, illustrated by David Soman. Enjoy this delicious bonus episode about all the recipes we love to share!

Brew yourself a comforting cup of tea, curl up under your favorite blanket, and settle in to discuss a tough topic: grief. It's hard to talk about, but we hope you'll join us for "The Things We Wish People Had Said to Us," in which Alison and Lisl dive into the Ring Theory to help determine how to process your own emotions during a tough time while also delivering comfort and care to those around you. This way of thinking has changed how we handle grief and we hope it changes yours, too.
