In 2003, I was voted 'Most Dramatic' and unfortunately for everyone around me, I never grew out of it. 🎭 Now I'm turning that flair into a millennial lifestyle blog and part time podcast — my take on big feelings, overcoming generational trauma, and laughing at the absurdities of life (and probably reality TV). Consider this your official invite to your new favorite over-share. I'm SO glad you're here.

Tattoo Series (Pt. I): Needles, Nostalgia & Nervous Systems

What starts as a tattoo appointment quickly turns into a conversation about everything else. In the first episode of this mini-series, David sits down for a tattoo with Jordan of Moonfall Ink. They talk about elder emo mixed CDs, life in the Pacific Northwest, becoming the unofficial therapist in the room, generational trauma, journalism, social media, Gilmore Girls, and the unexpected ways our childhoods continue to shape us. It's funny, vulnerable, occasionally chaotic, and probably a little too honest.

Read Aloud: A Day in My Life: Hosting A Nancy Meyers Summer Party

I love any excuse to host a gathering. Even if it’s for three friends and a baby like yesterdays. Whenever the sun comes out I have the immediate and overwhelming urge to make my take on Nana's pasta salad. Pair that with the two recipes I stumbled upon on Instagram and it was settled. Queue up the perfect Nancy Meyers coastal grandmother Nantucket chic playlist and it's a party! Catch up with me and check out pics from my Saturday Soiree, dubbed Stars & Salads. 🇺🇸

Read Aloud: I'm Becoming The Person I Needed

I got to actually experience the moments this week. This is what really got my attention this week, and I think why I haven’t missed Instagram. I was in the beauty of the moment, not looking for the beauty of the moment to post. For the first time in a long while, I wasn’t thinking like a content creator — snapping a picture of my food before I took a bite, setting up the perfect boomerang, or trying to find the right angle for the aesthetic. A LOT happened this week. Let's catch up!

Read Aloud: I Deleted My Instagram (And Here's Why)

While I won’t accept the ‘late-thirties’ label until next year, 36 feels exceptionally closer to middle age than 35 did. And it (along with current events) has made me take stock of where I am versus where I should be. And if I’m being honest, it’s not just the gap that’s bothering me — it’s how loud everything around that gap has become: Everyone else’s timelines. Everyone else’s milestones. Everyone else’s perfectly curated proof that they are, in fact, doing it right.

I also argue with Beau, talk about my new tattoo, and what led me to chart an unexpected venture in joining an adult pickleball league (and more). Check it out! Do you like this read aloud format? Let me know!

2026 Baby! We're Back (and Why it Matters?)

We're (finally) back from winter break! Join us for a loungey hotel episode packed full of life updates, mental health struggles, shopping experiences, and reflections on grief. Danielle and I explore the importance of self-care, the challenges of navigating societal issues, and the role of (dark) humor in coping with the absurdities of life. The conversation is largely underlined by our love of food, so if you're on a diet, you're not for the next 43 minutes, babes.

[CarCast] Thanksgiving Hot Takes and Flat Tires

Is it too late to talk Thanksgiving hot takes? Wellll, that's too damn bad. Buckle up for this CarCast as we spill tea and reminisce on a drive around the podunk (aka Hallmark Christmas Movie) town we grew up in. Are you team cranberry in a can or 100% home-made? Oh, and this episode unofficially diagnosed our best co-host with ADHD. Or maybe I'm just rubbing off? Doodle never sent me the recipe for Reese's pie (whoopsie!), so I hope this one is close enough? Link!
