It’s go-bag week! As Kate preps her hospital bag, she solicits advice from Claire and Joe on the essentials they put in theirs, and what they brought that they didn’t need. They then look at what they bring with them in their diaper bags, with an unexpected turn into diaper bag ASMR content. They consider the balance of carrying what helps you feel empowered to navigate the world as a parent with freeing yourself of what weighs you down — exclusively from a capitalist, products-you-can-buy perspective, of course. (Speaking of which, don’t worry — Kate has in fact bought diapers since recording this episode.)
