In this episode, I unpack what tariffs actually are—where they come from, how they’ve been used throughout history, and why they matter now more than ever. I walk through the very first tariffs in ancient civilizations, explore their role in early American policy, and explain how they’ve both protected industries and triggered economic disasters.

We’ll look closely at how tariffs became a central tool in President Trump’s trade strategy, influenced by economist Peter Navarro (who literally created a fictional expert named “Ron Vara” to quote in his own book). I also break down Trump’s negotiation style from The Art of the Deal and how it played out in the escalating tariff war with China—plus the recent rollback that brought some of those tariffs down from triple-digit levels.

You’ll also hear what this means for you: how tariffs affect prices, jobs, and what ends up on store shelves.

In this episode, I explore the complex landscape of motherhood—from ancient myths and cultural expectations to the latest psychological research. I share findings on why some women report greater life satisfaction without children, alongside studies showing the intense highs and lows of parenting. Together, we’ll challenge the “Motherhood Mandate” and question whether choosing to become—or not become—a mom is truly a sacred calling or a trap woven by society. I’ll offer insights that empower you to honor your own path and redefine what fulfillment looks like on your terms.
