    Cat Sitting, Lifestyle Tradeoffs, and the Pull to Evolve

    This is the first episode of a new series I’m calling Afterthoughts—a space to reflect on what’s stuck with me after guest episodes, what I’ve looked up since, or what I’m now curious to try. It’s also where I’ll share other thoughts that don’t quite fit into city-specific episodes—like what this lifestyle is teaching me, and what I’m still figuring out along the way.
