21 - Preparing for Birth during COVID and Working Toward an Economic Rebirth

It's another Friday in social distancing. Grab yourself a cold beverage and pretend you're hanging out with some friends. We'll keep you company while you empty the dishwasher. Again.

Sara McCarthy, soon-to-be mom of two and director of communications for the Fund for Our Economic Future in Northeast Ohio, joins the podcast to discuss how she's getting ready to have a baby during COVID-19 and how the Fund is adapting its economic strategies through a new post-pandemic lens.

How are they managing the practical, day-to-day decisions while also looking ahead to the big picture? What's worth getting hopeful about as we work toward rebuilding? Sara shares how the Fund's members and her colleagues are pivoting.

Find the Fund at thefundneo.org, and check out the transportation resource Sara referenced at paradoxprize.com.

Apocalypse Book Club

Reanna's Pick: Dark Matter by Blake Crouch, a read-in-one-sitting dimensional traveling thriller.

Sara is exclusively reading childbirth preparation books right now, understandably. She recommends Ina May Gaskin's Guide to Childbirth and Reanna recommends Expecting Better by Emily Oster.
