This week a calendar reminder informed me it’s been 16 years since I got engaged—which is not exactly the kind of notification a divorced woman expects to wake up to. That moment sent me thinking about old engagement rings, what to do with them, and how funny it is that some things from the past just… linger.

I also share a few co-parenting moments from middle school basketball season that reminded me exactly why my ex-husband and I are better off divorced, plus a conversation with my son about navigating uncomfortable situations with kindness.

And because the dating world never disappoints, I end the episode with a couple of truly horrifying dating-profile discoveries—including what may or may not be a murder van.
