And The Next Thing You Know is a podcast about how our lives go exactly not as we planned them. No matter how hard we cling to our plans for college and career and relationships and creative goals, it’s actually the disruptions in our lives, the wrenches and the tangents, that throw us in a different direction and force us to inhabit these beautiful, messy, trauma filled, disappointing, gorgeous, sexy lives, despite ourselves.

Welcome to our living room. Read more about the show here.

Common topics we cover in the podcast are psychology and mental health, evolving career paths, relationship explosions, alcohol and drug use and harm reduction, death and grief and the absurdity of it all, how to make art and create meaning in this one short life we’ve got.

The podcast is a series of lovingly rendered conversations about all this serendipity and trauma.
