    Running Notes (#2): What Toronto Taught Me About Being Many Things at Once

    Running Notes is a voice note experiment within Decks and Diapers where I think out loud about things echoing through my mind. In episode number #2 of Running Notes I explore 3 key ideas: Toronto's magic is in its multiplicity - it's not one city, it's many versions of a city layered into one. The seasons make that visible in a way few places can. We are many selves within one self - Hazel Rose Markus and Alana Conner write in Clash! that our sense of self shifts across places, times, and situations. Easy to understand intellectually. Much harder to actually live. You can't be everything all at once ... and that's okay -like seasons, different versions of us take centerstage at different times. The goal isn't balance in every moment. It's making sure each version of you gets its season. --- If you’re new here, Decks and Diapers is a newsletter about work, parenting, and all the messy, beautiful intersections in between.

    Running Notes (#1): Why I Started Decks and Diapers - The Origin Story

    Welcome to the very first episode of Running Notes: a voice note experiment within Decks and Diapers where I think out loud about things echoing through my mind. There's no editing here. I know that's pretty contrarian in a world of highly produced, carefully polished podcasts. But think of these less as episodes and More Thought Bubbles that have been floating around my head and now have found their way into your ear, just me talking into a voice note and hitting upload ------ In this first episode, I go back to the very beginning. Why does Decks and Diapers exist? Who was it created for? And what do I hope it becomes? I talk about why I finally stopped waiting for the perfect moment to launch this podcast, the gap in content that made me start writing in the first place, and the deeply personal reason I keep showing up to do this work, in my non-existent free time! ----- If you're new here, Decks and Diapers is a newsletter about work, parenting, and all the messy, beautiful intersections in between.
