Now that there's a vacancy on the Supreme Court, many people are worrying about and talking about access to abortion here in the U.S. As such, we've decided to bring back a previous episode, which originally aired June 2019, that focuses on a very timely topic: stories of women who were already mothers when they made the choice to have an abortion.

Jordana and Shannon speak with comedy writer and author Bess Kalb about her quarantine life as a new mom living with her own parents, writing for Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and her recent memoir, No One Will Tell You This But Me. Her book is about an extraordinary love story — but not necessarily one you'd expect: It's a chronicle of Bess' relationship with her Jewish grandmother, a housewife who was anything but ordinary and who helped shape Bess' upbringing and sense of humor.

Not So Big Summer
Call Your Mother
06/29/20 • 30 min
Jennifer Weiner, the fan favorite and longtime New York Times best-selling author returns to the podcast to chat with Shannon and Jordana about her quarantine bubble with bubbe, “zhuzhing” up her Zoom room, and why some people won’t wear a friggin’ mask. “It seems like such a basic thing to ask people to do. You put your shirt on and your shoes on when you go to the 7-Eleven, so now we’re going to wear masks!”

How Not to Lose Your Shit
Call Your Mother
06/16/20 • 38 min
Well, here we all are, on the cusp of a summer which for many of us will be with no camp, no vacation trips and few playdates -- but many, many opportunities to lose our shit with our kids. Carla Naumburg is a clinical social worker and the author of three parenting books. But the parenting book that was made for a pandemic is her most recent, How to Stop Losing Your Sh*t With Your Kids, which might be the ideal Father’s Day gift?
Naumburg talks to Jordana and Shannon about stress “in the Q,” triggers for rage, and ways to recalibrate our response to those little darling children who somehow always know how to push our buttons.

CYM Rewind: Contagion (With Blima Marcus)
Call Your Mother
10/20/20 • 21 min
Remember the measles outbreak in 2018 to 2019? Misinformation and distrust for the government were significant factors that contributed to the dangerous spread of the highly contagious disease within many ultra-Orthodox communities in New York. In December 2019 our hosts Jordana and Shannon spoke with Blima Marcus, a nurse practitioner and professor who helped curtail the spread in her community through education and compassion. In this week’s Call Your Mother Rewind, at a time in which Covid-19 infections are high within some ultra-Orthodox communities, we revisit our conversation with Blima, unpacking how misinformation and the perception of antisemitism remain relevant today.
