This episode is a stream of consciousness about parenthood—the mental load, managing a child’s emotions while juggling your own, and how everything else in life gets pushed to the back burner.

Random thoughts, part three. I’m talking through my Christmas brunch menu, holiday planning, and whatever else my brain decided to spiral into.

Random thoughts, part two. I’m talking about Netflix’s Beast in Me and diving into Wally Lamb’s new novel The River Is Waiting—what stuck with me, what didn’t, and why both had me thinking.

I break down a New York Magazine article on holiday gift pressure, then get nostalgic about what made Christmas magical in my childhood and how I want to create that feeling for Sky.

Shoutout to the Hanukkah and Kwanzaa gerls, you deserve your own shine. Christmas is doing too much, so hear me out… let’s move the holidays.

I’m sharing the business advice everyone keeps asking for, and it starts with this: don’t start a business. Keep your day job. Here’s why that advice comes from experience.

I’m ranting about Nicki Minaj vs Gavin Newsom—and somehow it spirals into her sex offender husband, the decline in education, childhood obesity, and everything wrong with the culture. It’s a mess.

I’m drunk, eating butter pecan ice cream, and letting my thoughts fly.

I’m sharing random thoughts this week—reminiscing on my old dilly-dallying days and venting about my frustrations with Planned Parenthood, the long waits, the runaround, and the struggle to get preventative HIV care.

I’m sounding off on Netflix’s deal with HBO and Warner Bros—why I think it’s ruining how we consume media, killing communal viewing experiences, and dragging down the quality of film and TV.
