Best of Both Worlds Podcast Laura Vanderkam and Sarah Hart-Unger

I am a working physician mom of 3 and a faithful listener every Tuesday to your show. This is my first time writing a review but really love listening each week. Superficial Things are some of my favorite episodes. I know how Laura hates shopping for clothes as much as I do so wanted to put a plug in for my newest favorite thing which is clothes rental. Le Tote, Rent the Runway, and Gwynnie Bee are great ways to get new fashionable clothes without all the negatives of shopping. Bonus is you don’t have to wash or dry them which saves me a huge amount of time. Keep it up ladies as you have definitely added a piece of joy to my Tuesday mornings!

I started to listen to this podcast for advice on how to navigate my new role as a working mom. Ive gotten though probably 40 episodes and I do appreciate these ladies voices of encouragement and advice. However I can’t get past the high level of privilege and affluence, as it seems their answer to most questions or struggles of the working mom is to “outsource it.” Many of us work precisely because we need the income and just outsourcing a task to someone when we need help is not a feasible option. Would love more episodes on living within a budget and/or to hear from guests who do not outsource anything - how they are able to also have the best of both worlds.

Update: thanks for the recent episode featuring Tiffany Dufu and for listening to recent feedback! Loved the episode.

Recently, episodes have been more skewed towards child rearing and family. Would love more work related episodes!

Also agree on the other reviews about the general lack of diversity of perspectives and guest speakers.
