Welcome to Curious for Fun, a walk-and-talk podcast for learners, experimenters, and curious humans who love exploring what makes life interesting. I share what I’m learning, trying, and noticing - from creative experiments to reflections on growth, psychology, and connection. Along the way, I pull ideas from books, conversations, and everyday moments that spark curiosity. All in the spirit of joy, learning, and being human.

    Episode 21: Family Estrangement

    Cutting off family goes against our DNA. Humans want to be connected, vulnerable, and loved. However, when relationships nosedive into harmful territory, it may be time to think about how you protect yourself from further harm. I share my own experience with estrangement. It's not easy, but I hope to shed some light on the emotions and outcomes of this decision.

    Episode 20: Playing Pretend

    Did you ever lose your spark for imagination, dressing up, and being a little ridiculous...or was it just me? In this episode, I share why I've always loved creating characters, what playing pretend taught me about creativity and confidence, and how reconnecting with our playful side can help us feel more alive, curious, and authentic.

    Episode 18: Sourdough

    In this episode, I talk about the first event of 2026 that I hosted called the Sourdough Social. This was in response to the ICE occupation in MN, and it was in an effort to raise funds for the Immigrant Rapid Response Fund. Listen in to learn more about the cause and to gain insights into caring for a sourdough starter!

    Episode 17: Winter 2026 Reflection

    Welcome back to Season 2. I'd like to recap what winter 2026 was like here in Minnesota before we get into anything else. Season 1 concluded late 2025 and a lot has changed. While ICE is still causing harm here and around the country, I also take a moment to reflect on the positive moments. Strangers helping one another and the first general strike since 1934. We've made an impact and hope is still alive.

    Episode 15: Bouldering

    In this second-to-last episode of Season 1, I talk about bouldering. A playful, physical hobby that helped me move through a lifelong fear of falling. From my first shaky climb to finding joy, strength, and community on the wall, this episode explores what happens when we try something scary without pressure to be perfect.
