    S2 E5 | School Shootings

    In this deeply personal episode, I confront the heavy reality of sending my kids back to school amidst the growing threat of gun violence. The ever growing list of communities impacted by gun violence in schools demands a conversation. So in this episode we talk about how to manage those anxieties, prepare our children, and advocate for change. It’s an honest conversation about fear, safety, and finding ways to move forward — even when it feels like the world is falling apart.

    Episode 2 | Migraines

    Today’s episode is brought to you by Migraines. No, it’s not just a headache. No, I’m not “just dehydrated”. Yes, I took something for it. If those phrases sound familiar, then this is the episode for you. A migraine is more than a headache. For me, it can be a debilitating pain. And this dusty broad doesn’t travel alone. She comes with aura, dizziness, slurred speech, and sensitivity to light and sound.
