Stranded Suburbanite: Recent Episodes
Amy Vaid
Welcome to Stranded Suburbanite, where motherhood and working from home eliminates almost all adult interaction. I’m Amy Vaid, a stay at home mom battling isolation while always looking for the brightest side of the silver lining. My three chaotic and sporadic cohosts are my baby, preschooler and dog. Listen along as I chronicle rejoining society after 2 years of a pandemic. In every episode, I chat about something I saw on Facebook, stupid and lovely highlights of my week, health goals, creative career progress, and one cool hack.
In today’s show I’m talking about robots solving loneliness, why joining a gym was just not simple this time, how all my personal goals got obliterated, how baby wipes clean more than butts, and how motherhood rewrites personal identity, whether you want it to or not.
