Grab a glass of this week’s Drink of the Week—a Manhattan Special—because today, we’re heading to the city☕️🏙️

In this very special "Open Letter" episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the man who started it all: my daddy. Two years ago we lost him, but today isn’t about dwelling on the grief—it’s about celebrating the absolute legend he was.

We’re taking a trip down memory lane, from those grainy 90s mornings commuting into New York City for Bring Your Daughter to Work Day, to the epic, sun-drenched pool parties that defined my childhood birthdays. We’re also talking about his iconic status as the Star PTA Dad—the only man brave enough to navigate a sea of PTA moms with his signature wit and dedication.

This is a story about the happy parts, the New York hustle, and the father who taught me how to be the person I am today. It’s funny, it’s nostalgic, and it’s a total tribute to my one-of-a-kind guy.

In this episode, we’re chatting about:

The NYC Hustle: What it was like being his "plus one" in the heart of the city.

Poolside Vibes: Why Joe was the undisputed king of the summer birthday bash.

The PTA Icon: Breaking down his legendary status at school meetings.

A Daughter’s Letter: A final, joyful word on the lessons and laughs he left behind.

Cheers to you, Daddy ❤️
