Welcome to the very first episode of Running Notes: a voice note experiment within Decks and Diapers where I think out loud about things echoing through my mind.

There's no editing here. I know that's pretty contrarian in a world of highly produced, carefully polished podcasts. But think of these less as episodes and More Thought Bubbles that have been floating around my head and now have found their way into your ear, just me talking into a voice note and hitting upload

In this first episode, I go back to the very beginning. Why does Decks and Diapers exist? Who was it created for? And what do I hope it becomes?

I talk about why I finally stopped waiting for the perfect moment to launch this podcast, the gap in content that made me start writing in the first place, and the deeply personal reason I keep showing up to do this work, in my non-existent free time!

If you're new here, Decks and Diapers is a newsletter about work, parenting, and all the messy, beautiful intersections in between.

Running Notes is where I think out loud about all of it.
