In this week's episode, Merritt discusses being an influencer in the never ending bad news cycle. From deciding how and what to share on current events, to dealing with expectations from strangers on the internet, Merritt pulls back the curtain to reveal how she handles having a platform during a time that is so volatile, polarizing and politically charged. Whether you agree with Merritt's take or not, hopefully it's an interesting conversation that offers a new or different perspective!

At the top of the episode, Merritt shares her usual weekend recap and tons of recs & reviews including three new TV shows you MUST add to your list! In the Beck & Call segment at the end of the episode, Merritt answers listener questions about how to balance walking her dog with long workouts, and what hobbies she'd pick up if she had the time!
