Ep.83 | 🎙️This episode gets personal. We explore the raw and complex emotions that come with sending a child off to college — a bittersweet rite of passage filled with pride, grief, and new beginnings. From there, we honor the birthday of a beloved nephew who passed away years ago, reflecting on how grief evolves over time but never fully fades.
Then, just as life brings a moment to breathe, an unexpected loss — the sudden death of a friend — shakes the foundation once again. We talk openly about navigating these overlapping waves of emotion, memory, and meaning.
But life, in its unpredictable rhythm, also throws in the unexpected and bizarre. We touch on the current uproar around male cheerleaders in the NFL — a culture clash of tradition, masculinity, and representation. And yes, we round out the episode with a weird and wild headline: ice cream made from breast milk — sparking a conversation about bodily autonomy, food ethics, and why this flavor may be more than just a gimmick.
Whether you're grieving, growing, laughing, or simply trying to keep up — this episode is a snapshot of the strange beauty of being human.
