    The dangers of future-tripping (Encore episode)

    The dangers of future-tripping (Encore episode)

    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.

    It’s ok to be sensitive (Encore episode)

    Sensitivity is not an overreaction. So in this episode of Thick & Thin, I'm glad to reconnect with my sensitive side knowing that I genuinely give and care about other people to the best of my ability.

    Forbidden Fruit (Encore episode)

    Forbidden Fruit (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.
