    I became that Dad: Things I swore I'd never say

    At some point… it happens. You say something…  and immediately realize— “Wow… I sound just like my parents.” In Episode 10 of Mostly Me, Occasionally Wise, we’re diving into the phrases we swore we’d never say… but now say all the time. From the classics like:  “We have food at home”  “Because I said so”  “Money doesn’t grow on trees” …to the ones nobody prepares you for:  “Don’t eat that”  “Why is that wet?!”  “Roll the window down!” This episode is funny, chaotic, and way too relatable—but underneath it all, it’s about something deeper. Because those phrases?  They’re not just random. They’re passed down.  They’re learned.  And somehow… they start to make sense. If you’ve ever caught yourself sounding like your parents—or wondered how you got here—this one’s for you. 📩 Got a phrase you swore you’d never say?  Send it to: mostlymecontact@gmail.com 📱 Join the conversation on Facebook:  Mostly Me, Occasionally Wise 🎧 New episodes drop every Wednesday.  Available wherever you listen to podcasts.

    The Conversations We Avoid

    Some conversations don’t happen out loud… They happen in our heads. We rehearse them.  We replay them.  We tell ourselves we’ll say something… eventually. But we don’t. In this episode, we’re talking about the conversations we avoid— with our spouse, our kids… and even ourselves. Not because we don’t care…  but because we don’t know how they’re going to go. I share real-life moments from home, the hesitation we all feel, and how the things we don’t say don’t just disappear—they turn into distance. Distance in relationships.  Distance in connection.  Distance in ourselves. The truth is, most of these conversations aren’t as bad as we think… But starting them? That’s the hard part. If you’ve ever said “I’m fine”… when you weren’t,  or put off saying something that mattered… This one’s for you. 🎧 Mostly Me, Occasionally Wise Available wherever you listen to podcasts Send us Fan Mail Thanks for listening to Mostly Me, Occasionally Wise.

Then we dive into the FULL card:  🔥 Cody Rhodes vs Randy Orton  🔥 CM Punk vs Roman Reigns  🔥 Rhea Ripley vs Jade Cargill  🔥 Seth Rollins vs Gunther  🔥 And more… With predictions, hot takes, and a few “what are we doing here?” moments along the way. 😂 If you’ve been watching all year—or you just show up for WrestleMania—this episode is for you.
