About this episode
Where will this episode go with Kelly in the driver's seat and Lizz just along for the ride? Buckle up and listen in to find out. Today's millennial word of the day is 'tradwives.' These are women who want to be traditional wives who do the cooking, cleaning, and stay home with the kids. Kelly and Lizz both remind us that this is just as fine as any other way to be a wife and mom—there's no one way to do family life! Fast lane philosophies draw from Kelly and Lizz's 2010 quotes boards. If you were a Pinterest princess, too you'll love this mix of inspiring and confusing lines from over a decade ago. Lizz shares a more recent favorite that reminds us not to worry about the shape of our body, but instead to focus on the shape of our mind, which inspires a nod to mom, who's currently exercising her brain by learning a song in German. In industry news, Apple announces they're canceling their electric car, consumer reports names their 24 car picks (and most are EVs or hybrids!), and Kelly is listening to families while manufacturers seem to be tuning out—everyone wants a midsize hybrid SUV around $40,000. Here's to hoping they perk up their ears since the Kia Sorento is about the only option families currently have. To wrap up this segment, Kelly's shares exciting news about her new three car garage and Car Mom headquarters. Want a fresh start in your finances—the easy way?
