While Sarah's on summer break, Beth talks with writer and urban planner Angie Schmitt about giving yourself permission to feel lighter about the news this summer, then digs into what's gone wrong with how American cities and neighborhoods are built for kids — from car-dependent suburbs to vanishing teen hangouts.
Topics discussed:
Taking an emotional break from the news without checking out entirely
ICE shootings, cabinet confirmation hearings, and the Iran war
Disappearing teen hangouts and rules around unsupervised kids
How lawsuit-aversion backfires on children's wellbeing
Rebuilding civic infrastructure — rec leagues, public pools, community schools
Book recommendations: Shiloh and The Sheep Detectives
