This isn’t even about the holidays, this is about life.

I know that it feels like nonstop battles sometimes, in every area of life almost, because I feel like that right now.

I’m tired of fighting. I really am. I wish it didn’t have to be so hard, but sometimes it is.

In spite of temptations to roll over and give up, or throw your hands in the air and declare that there’s no point in trying anymore, there are other options.


I’m really glad you’re here. Thank you.

We’re continuing to talk about tipping culture in the United States, as well as some of the broader implications it has on society. It’s an important topic if for no other reason than the fact that it’s now practically ubiquitous, and touches the lives of many many people.


*I chose a special poem for the end of this episode, in acknowledgment of yesterday’s global strike in support of the call for ceasfire.

It was written by recently deceased Palestinian poet Refaat Alareer.

It should go without saying, but I will say it: I do not support discrimination. I do not support genocide.

Christmas is two weeks away and whether you celebrate or not, it’s an impactful time of year for a lot of people, which can also mean added anxiety and stress.

Here’s the advent calendar of anxiety-challenging reminders I mentioned during the show. Take them all or just choose a few. But be gentle with yourself! There’s a lot going on

I always wondered why I had a “memory like an 80 year old” when I was like nine.

Everyone knows you can have a phenomenal time both living in and visiting the United States. But where can you get the biggest bang for you buck?

If having fun is your MO (and shouldn’t it be at least sometimes?) then this is the show for you!

Domestic or International, Foreign or Native, these are the top cities for you to you have a relatively affordable, rocking good time all across the States.

Enjoy!!

The beginning of a closer look at American tipping culture.

Do you have a list of cities around the globe that you’d like to eventually visit?

Many people do, and when they finally get to the places they’ve long dreamed of, sometimes the experiences leave something to be desired IN THEIR OPINION.

I thought it would be fun to chat through some places that left visitors feeling disillusioned. If I’ve been there, I share my experiences too!

Thanks for being here always always always,
