184. Today's Childcare Crisis w/Tori Ulrich (aka Ginger Buddha)!

Get ready for an incredible episode, Listeners! On today's show, Karen and Katie welcome back Tori Ulrich (aka the beloved Ginger Buddha).

But instead of shooting the shit about a variety of topics, the pair interviews Tori about her job as founder and CEO of Chicago Super Sitters, a one-of-a-kind service that provides support to families, and sitters.

The trio discuss the state of childcare today, how the US historically *did fund childcare options at one time, and what people can do to help struggling parents right now.
