    Ego, you are scared but you are ready. Have that baby. Don’t wait too long. You don’t want to be going through menopause when your kid hits puberty

  • Missing the dad premise!!!

    This podcast came out of the year that my dad died very unexpectedly. I love Ego a lot, and this podcast brought me a lot of comfort and joy when I really needed to unpack my complicated feelings about my dad. Season two seems to have done away with the entire Thanks Dad premise entirely. I understand, expanding the guest list to not include only dads. But I really miss the conversation with each guest about their relationship with their dad and its impact as the heart of the podcast now it’s tr... more

As a new dad I loved it the premise and listened faithfully every Monday. But season 2 I guess you are getting more into people you are thankful for? Anyways really liked the old format and thought it was uni... more
