    Thailand Series: $1,200 Later…The Most Expensive Coat I Never Owned

    After a month in Thailand, I decided to turn the internet into my travel journal. In part one of this series, I tell the story of how I made it through my entire trip without getting scammed… until the very last day. What started as friendly directions, temples, and a cheap tuk-tuk ride turned into a four-hour, highly coordinated setup that ended with a $1,200 tailor scam. It’s the classic “the palace is closed” trick... and somehow we still fell for it.

    Is It Ever Appropriate to Comment on Someone's Body? with Ali (the Swole Shady)

    In this episode, Abby and guest Ali (aka Swole Shady) take a thoughtful look at the question: Is it ever okay to comment on someone’s body? Through the lens of the fitness industry, they explore how body talk, especially praise for thinness or muscularity, is often tied to assumptions about discipline, health, and worth. Together, they unpack why these comments can feel motivating to some and triggering to others, and how fitness spaces can unintentionally reinforce harmful body ideals. Whether you're a coach, client, or just someone navigating wellness culture, this episode offers tools for more mindful, respectful conversations about bodies.
