Let's all take a moment to thank Margaret Sanger and all those who advocated for women's reproductive rights. In this episode of Thick & Thin, we travel back to the 1900s' to learn the history of a popular birth control method, otherwise known as — the pill.

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.
