    The year 2024 feels like an absolute whirlwind. Where did the time go?Today’s episode was inspired by one of my podcast producers, Alison, who told me she loves episodes this time of year that take you behind the scenes, which feels good to me; I want to catch you up on what’s been going on.As you may know, I’ve been struggling with health issues this year, so much of what you’ve been listening to was pre-recorded.

It could not be further from the reasons I’ve car sobbed in years past.Some of you are already excited about the holidays, and I love that for you. But that is not everyone’s experience, and for years, it was not mine. There was a period in my 20s when my partner Michael literally called me th...

    Creating Traditions that Stick (Hint: Sustainability is Key!)

    Traditions are incessant. They HAVE to keep happening. That’s what makes them traditions! So how do you create traditions that stick around month after month, year after year? In my opinion, it’s all about sustainability. Traditions have to be something you can maintain on some level as life changes. Otherwise they fizzle out and aren’t traditions anymore.In this episode, I offer tips on how to create traditions that are sustainable for all the people in your life, from your formal commu...

    Let’s Talk Chosen Family

    If you’ve listened to this podcast before, then you know the concept of the chosen family is very important to me personally.Some people in my chosen family play a variety of roles. Some play just one. Some are back-ups; others are back-ups for my back-ups. Cumulatively, it all adds up: today I feel more supported than I ever have in my life.I’ve talked about chosen families in other episodes – including Episode 16, about my friend Jeff’s, and Episode 19, about my own – but I’ve never done on...

    How to Stop Saying ‘Someday’ and Plan That Trip With Your Friends!

    I just got back from this wild, adventurous, 11-day road trip with my friend to see two Taylor Swift concerts on opposite sides of the country. How did we make it happen? Partly, the stars aligned; partly, we’re privileged in that we’re self-employed, childless, and could afford it; but also, we just went for it. It was so fun and actually inspired a new goal: I want to go on a one-week girls trip sometime this decade.By this point in my life, I’ve traveled a lot. I’ve had so many fun ex...
