#205: Our chat with Jacq Tatelman is more energizing than a full night's rest, not that we'd remember what that's like. This Brooklyn-based social impact entrepreneur and mom of two is co-founder and creative director of the wildly popular STATE bags and the co-creator of the non-profit foundation Country Roads Foundation, est. in 2009. Her brain-child STATE bags has donated hundreds of thousands of backpacks to kids in need in the United States through their buy-one, give-one model. It also happens to be the bag I carry with me, and share with my 18 month-old Eliza, every single day. In this episode, we get an inside look at the wife/husband team behind State Bags, including the darkest hour in the creation of their company and how they pushed through. We chat about what entrepreneurial lessons Tatelman gleamed from her childhood and what snacks she buys for the office. And we also share the origin story behind the Tatelman family’s passion project “Camp Power”, celebrating its 11th year giving underprivileged NYC kids the chance to experience the wonders of summer camp.

Kicking off 2019, longtime pals actor Claire Coffee and director Bridget Moloney-Sinclair discuss everything from Bridget’s naughty book picks to Claire's tips for getting as much work done as humanely possible during school hours. I chronicle my all-time favorite “parenting comedown” story involving bathtub puke and the Academy Awards, share how my long-time dry cleaner verbally attacked me (which would be straight out of a Seinfeld episode if it hadn't been so scary), and admit I ordered an outdoor play system without thinking it through (How are they SO expensive? I'm embarrassed I spent so much). And after weeks of no school, the moms share their screen-time favorites. Giggle along with our tongue in cheek ridiculousness.
