In this episode, Halston shares that he’s moving on to pursue his dream of making music in Nashville.We reflect on his journey from delivering pizzas to producing podcasts, the lessons he’s learned over the years, and why now feels like the right time to take the leap.

Kyle Thiermann joins me to talk about his book One Last Question Before You Go, a thoughtful guide designed to help readers ask their parents meaningful questions that reframe how we see them. Kyle shares how asking the right questions can unlock powerful family stories, deepen connection, and give us new insight into who our parents are beyond their roles. We also explore how storytelling plays a vital role in family learning and emotional legacy.

Cathy, Kirsten, and I sit down to talk about How About Now: Poems by Kate Baer. We explore the poems we connected with most, whether the tone feels heavy or introspective, and what the collection reveals about navigating the everyday. We also dive into how poetry can find beauty in the mundane, and why reading work like Baer’s feels so important right now.

Dr. Tracy Dalgleish, author of You, Your Husband, and His Mother, joins Kirsten, Cathy, and me to dive into the complex world of mother-in-law relationships. Tracy breaks down the dynamics between a husband and wife, and why it’s essential to address an overbearing in-law early and openly. We also explore the different types of mother-in-laws and daughter-in-laws, and how to navigate those roles with understanding, boundaries, and compassion.
