Is it now or never? We may want to do it all, but at some point, we have to realize that just because we can, does not mean that we should. In this episode of Thick & Thin, I go over the varying definitions and portrayals of success.

Cheers to the present! We will never be able to tell the future, so why spend the energy worrying about it? In this episode of Thick & Thin, my goal is to stop wasting my time trying to control the narrative, but sometimes the anticipatory anxiety and endless what-ifs, win.

Flying too close to the sun (Encore episode)

We all hate being told what to do. It's a tale as old as time. So in this episode of Thick & Thin, I try to discover why. Why is it human nature to crave what we can't have? Is it for thrills? For power? For knowledge? Or perhaps, all of the above.
