## Resource

Cathy, Kirsten, and I sit down to talk about How About Now: Poems by Kate Baer. We explore the poems we connected with most, whether the tone feels heavy or introspective, and what the collection reveals about navigating the everyday. We also dive into how poetry can find beauty in the mundane, and why reading work like Baer’s feels so important right now. --------------------------------------------------- Sponsors Brunt Workwear - Get $10 Off @BRUNT with code WIFE at https://www.bruntworkwear.com/WIFE #BRUNTpod Factor - Eat smart at https://FactorMeals.com/party50off and use code party50off to get 50% off your first box, plus Free Breakfast for 1 Year. --------------------------------------------------- Our Next book club will be Separation of Church and Hate by John Fugelsang Amazon - https://amzn.to/4oGiWSD Bookshop - https://bookshop.org/a/97615/9781668066898 --------------------------------------------------- Call (818) 949-8536 to leave a voicemail with a question for LeeAnn (and sometimes Bert) that might be answered in a future episode! --------------------------------------------------- Fully Loaded at Sea 2026 Presale bertkreischercruise.com/presale Stream LUCKY on Netflix https://www.netflix.com/title/81713944 PERMISSION TO PARTY WORLD TOUR is on sale now: http://www.bertbertbert.com/tour --------------------------------------------------- LeeAnn Kreischer talks to friends about marriage, family, and being married to the life of the party, comedian Bert Kreischer! --------------------------------------------------- FOLLOW LEEANN: Facebook▶ https://www.facebook.com/wifeotp Instagram▶ https://www.instagram.com/leeannkreischer iTunes▶ podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wife-of-the-party/id1343348729 Official Website & MERCH▶ https://www.wifeotp.com Don't forget to…
