Between my full-time job as a lawyer and recording the show, my life is incredibly high traffic, but I've been focusing lately on making my own space feel more intentional. Your home is really an extension of who you are, and even a small detail, like a rug, can completely change the energy of a room, which is why I'm so impressed with Ruggable. I spent a lot of time looking at their modern and vintage-inspired designs, but the one I picked out honestly pulled my whole living room together.

But that's all to say that I don't know a lot about raising an infant, raising a baby, being pregnant, the whole shebang. The one thing I do know, and I've known for a while, is that Nanit is top tier, that, like, you need a Nanit when you have an infant. I texted my friend about Nanit, saying, "Hey, they're one of our podcast sponsors. I know you use it. What do you think?" And she said she's absolutely obsessed. Like, she couldn't have done it without her Nanit. And I get it. I get why. Nanit really does it
