Today’s episode was a quick little morning check-in that somehow covered a lot of emotional ground in a short amount of time.

We started with the internet question of the day:
whyyyyy was he in a landfill???
Which honestly felt like the exact kind of headline that makes your brain stop for a second.

Then we shifted into something a little deeper — what it actually means to feel aligned and alive in your real life, and the small things that quietly bring you back to yourself.

We also celebrated an important seasonal milestone: the heated pool opening.

And with Mother’s Day here, we spent a moment acknowledging that the day can hold a lot of different emotions depending on your story. If you’re celebrating, grieving, missing someone, navigating complicated feelings, or carrying both joy and sadness at the same time — we’re with you.

In this episode:

• the landfill headline we could not stop talking about
• feeling aligned, grounded, and alive again
• heated pool season officially arriving
• and a gentle Mother’s Day check-in for everyone carrying something this weekend
