We talk about how strong our moms are, we laughed a lot, we cried, and we had a really good time talking about being members of the Dead Moms Club.

In this episode, we're talking about friendship anthems, friendship “sparks”, and The Dead Moms Club. We are getting deeper into Dr. Arthur Aron's list of 36 questions and answer the question, “What do you value most in a friendship?” And discuss how friendship with others who have lost a parent is profound, healing, and truly beautiful.

Don’t Tell the Babysitter Mom’s Dead is a grief podcast by Brittany Ashley. Each episode includes a conversation with a fellow member of the Dead Mom’s Club, as well as an exploration into pop culture’s representation on what it’s like to lose a mother. New episodes for Season 2 will be released monthly, starting on June 1st. You can follow Brittany @britt27ash. The logo was designed by Kristine Thune and the music is by Interstellar Sarah Michelle Gellar.

On this episode, I’m joined by Alica Forneret. Alica is a passionate writer who is paving the way for others to commemorate, commiserate and celebrate their dead moms. Alica and I jam on how she came into the work of grief, why she is creating a Dead Moms Club and the power of safe touch. Show notes: Motherless Mother's Day May 4th event Feelosophy X Mint Club Athletics May 25th event @alica.forneret alicaforneret.com

The list of things that are hard to do when you’re grieving is long - eating, sleeping, focusing, surface-level chit-chat, remembering where you left your phone, planning for the future, or forgiving yourself for the past. Throw work or school into that mix and it gets really tough to feel like you can show up and function at the same level you're used to. When Alica Forneret went back to work after her mother's sudden death, she found the opposite of what she needed in terms of support. That experience inspired her to explore ways companies and organizations can better support their grieving employees as well as small things each of us can do to attend to our grief in the workplace. Alica Forneret writes for a number of publications and websites, including, SAD Magazine, Modern Loss, and Vancouver Magazine. She also created the Dead Moms Club lapel pins as a way to express grief more publicly and connect with others who are grieving their mothers. Check out Alica's website with articles, resources, and even recipes for supporting yourself and others who are grieving in the workplace and beyond. 

Alica Forneret's mom was sick for most of her life. But her dad always reassured her that if things got bad enough, he would tell Alica when she and her sister needed to come home. That day came in October of 2016 when Alica's mom died in the ICU. This week, we're talking about how love sometimes looks like control and planning, the power of having people with similar losses around, how you can use your gifts to help someone who's grieving, and where Alica got the idea for her popular Dead Moms Club lapel pins. Also this week, I'm exploring the icky occurrence of using grief to hold other people hostage.

We also find out what blasphemous things were added to Chex mix this holiday season, how many chickens gave their lives for Alissa's Christmas dinner and learn the answer to the question at the forefront of everyone's minds: what gift did Claud make for Liz???   The Vision Blurred To make spiced lemon simple syrup:In a small sauce pan, combine 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup water, 1 star anise, 5 whole cloves and the zest from one lemon (cut off in strips). Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Strain into a separate container and discard solids.   To make one cocktail: In a shaker with ice, combine 1.5 oz gin, 1 tbsp simple syrup, 2 oz fresh squeezed blood orange juice. Shake for 15 seconds. Pour into a wine glass over ice. Top with club soda. Garnish with a slice of blood orange.   Our Vision Boards!

Well, Joanne, we’re off!

The holidays are a time of joy for many of us. But for those who have suffered a loss, the holidays can bring up a range of emotions, from nostalgia for their lost loved one to outright pain and grief. My guest in this episode of Shared Secrets, Kate Spencer, has experienced that full range of emotions firsthand each holiday season since her mother died of cancer several years ago. In the episode, Kate discusses her new memoir, The Dead Moms Club, which details her experience of losing her mother when she was 27. We also discuss the stigma surrounding grief and loss, and how preconceived ideas of how grief should look can be harmful. She also shares her tips for those looking for comfort and consolation this holiday season.

Kate Spencer knows everyone cool, and everyone cool knows Kate Spencer. This is what I've come to realize after getting to know this woman. The writer and Upright Citizens Brigade alum is the kind of person who is both wildly clever and fiercely self-deprecating. The two of us recently teamed up on a bus full of women activists helmed by Jane Fonda (YES, THE JANE FONDA) to electrify voters who normally sit out of mid-term elections. Kate held the map and kept the ledger. I knocked on the doors and did most of the chatting. We stayed in our respective lanes and were a good team! After reading her book, I have a whole new respect for Kate. She's been on the front lines of grief after the death of her mom. She lays it all out in The Dead Moms Club. The book holds your hand yet respects your process. It gave me a fresh perspective on something about which I have little experience. Pre-order it today!

Kate Spencer is a writer, comedian, and mom of two. We had a great time sitting down and talking with her about airplane travel, running the bases at a baseball practice, and touching poop.

For Episode 15 the Dumbbells were beyond thrilled to have Kate Spencer join them in the Weight Room. She is a hilarious comedian and writer for Cosmopolitan.com and the author of the soon to be released Dead Moms Club. The boys give Kate some tips on how she can eat an exercise efficiently to lose that last little bit of baby weight. The group determines if it's possible to have sex AND ski. And they all "weigh" in on the right kind of sore from working hard vs the wrong kind from overworking. Plus a lot on intermittent fasting. "Yeah buddy!!!!"
