    This is a Fast and Free Episode!

    And somehow it's already episode six of the podcast! On this episode I give an update on my fertility journey. I included little music cues so you know when to tune in/out if it's not a subject you want to hear about. I talk about NYC's new mayor, Zohran Mamdani, M-A-M-D-A-N-I. I also discuss my past life in politics, being an adult and finally loving soup, the price of raspberries, and just trying to have a peaceful meal for once. If you're loving the podcast I would so appreciate a follow and rating! It helps a lot!

    On the Other Side of a Spiral

    On this episode of the pod I discuss one of my worst birthday parties that might have something to do with bee stings, a massage from hell, looking like a homeowner, and I'm joined by the tuck shop Mom herself! Just a side note that I was sent into a full on spiral because I realized after recording this episode that the recording on my computer stopped around ten minutes due to an incoming phone call. Luckily I was also recording on my phone, but you may notice a change in audio quality at that mark.

    I've Hatched!

    A new podcast has entered the world! In this first episode I explore living life on your own timeline and that it's ok to not have it "figured out" at any age really. Secretly it's better that way. I also talk about moving to New York City at 36, fertility treatments and growing my family, Halloween decorations, my love for AOC trolling Stephen Miller, and my opinion on healthy cookies.
