This week I found myself trapped in a very warm Uber with a very talkative driver…which led to an unnerving realization: is this what I sound like on my podcast?

Things get random today. Are you a people pleaser? How do you prefer your potatoes? Let’s talk about it. I also introduce a topic I’ve been curious about for years: cults…Consider this the preview, because next week we’re getting  deep into one of the cults I find most intriguing. 

Plus, I welcome my first (and youngest) guest ever, my five-year-old goddaughter Gigi, who joins me for a very serious discussion. (Okay, it’s not that serious.)

I also answer a listener question about the many jobs I’ve had over the years, from babysitting and flower delivery to music industry gigs and teaching songwriting.

And of course, we wrap it all up with a Jill Pill dose of the week…this time with a little help from Gigi!

In this episode, I’m getting a little more serious than normal and talking about the strange, complicated reality of ambiguous grief and what it’s like navigating life with aging parents, from preventing scams and thinking about medical decisions to those unexpected moments when you still feel the urge to call your mom, no matter your age.

I also lighten things up a bit with a rant about overly bright headlights, the Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune contestant anecdotes, and then I rank my Top 5 boy bands of all time (a very serious discussion).

Plus: the random things that make you feel like a kid again, my favorite song I’ve ever written, a guilty pleasure iPhone app, and this week’s Jill Pill: the simple thing that helped me process a lot this week.

This week on Take a Jill Pill, I spiral casually through the very suspicious number of conspiracy theories showing up in my feed. Am I just noticing it more, or are our phones actually reading our minds? I have questions.

I’m also sharing my official Top 5 Things I’m Never Doing Again (some of these were character-building experiences and I’m actually glad I did them all….I think), answering listener questions about things I still want to try, and weighing in on the best airports to be stranded in, because apparently we’re planning for that now.

I also reflect on the oddly specific things people know me for and why I might need a small rebrand before it’s too late.

Plus, a quiet but important reminder about something many people are still chasing: enough.

If you would like to get unhinged with me, I’d love for you to join me!

In this episode of Take a Jill Pill...shocker...I get a little unhinged. I confess how I absolutely got sucked into Dunkin’s latest marketing ploy…yes, the pink iced coffee glove. And then we end up in a rabbit hole about aliens, angels, the supernatural, why Katy Perry went to space, and what I actually think aliens might be like. Spoiler: I think they’re like totally dope, dude. 

I also drop a new Top 5 that mashes up two of my favorite things, music and marketing. I’m not giving it away, but I think you’re gonna hear some familiar sounds.

To wrap it up, I answer listener questions about AI’s role in music creation, beige flags, the food I could realistically eat for a month straight, and plenty of other random nonsense.

It’s a vibe today, my friends.

We’re talking Super Bowl thoughts, Olympic feelings, Nancy Guthrie (where is she?!), Valentine’s Day…and why I am absolutely not your Galentine. 

I’m ranking my Top 5 New England states (yes, I know there are only 6), answering listener questions, and sharing a brand new unreleased song exclusively here on the podcast.

Basically, it’s winter blues mixed with hot takes and a few meaningful moments.

When life is lifing, take a Jill Pill. 💊

Welcome to Take a Jill Pill, the podcast where life is funny, messy, and sometimes a little embarrassing.

In this first episode, I introduce myself (an introvert’s nightmare), share an embarrassing story, rant about birthday cards and cashiers, answer a few listener questions, and even dip my toe into conspiracy theories…plus of course I have a discussion about Trader Joe’s snacks. (Oh, I leave ya with a little encouragement too.)

This episode is your first dose of the chaos, honesty, and relatable ranting you can expect every week. Consider it your very first Jill Pill!

Welcome to Take a Jill Pill, a podcast for when life is lifing and you just need something that feels real, funny, and relatable. In this trailer, I’m sharing a little about me and what this show will actually sound like: honest conversations, random rants and observations, creativity, mental health, pop culture, cults, conspiracies…and whatever else comes up in the wild experience of being a human. I hope this can be your weekly dose of real talk, a few laughs, and  something that makes your day feel a little lighter. New episodes coming soon. Trader Joe’s snacks highly encouraged!
