Let's See How This Goes

There’s a lot of debate about whether technology is ruining our lives, but honestly, that’s kind of a moot point. Technology isn’t going anywhere, and it’s only getting smarter by the second. Where I started to have questions was when Taylor Swift was performing a surprise duet with Randy Newman maybe 50 feet in front of me… and approximately 45 seconds into the performance, I realized I was watch...

Life is clearly demanding an episode. So, here we are. What do you do when life is lifing hard and there’s absolutely nothing you can do about it? I asked my people what they do. The experts weighed in too — some of it genuinely helpful, some of it made me want to throw my phone. (Don’t worry, I get into it.) And my dad had a word for moments like these. Thunderbolts. His thoughts on it were prett...

I sat down to talk about DIY. The ones to do, the ones not to — and how do you even know? Plus some of my own experiences, if nothing else for a laugh. But then my brain did what it does. Is it really about the project? What drives us to do what we do? Why does one thing bring joy and another frustration? Is it deep? Is it simple? Is it just who we are? Or is my brain just going where it always go...

In a moment of full blown high intensity adulting, I found myself wondering — when was the last time I didn’t have everything weighing on my shoulders? The answer? Childhood. Talk about irony. I spent years desperately wanting to grow up, and now with all this hands-on adult experience under my belt, I’m wondering why I was in such a rush. In this episode I get into the illusion of childhood — how...

I went looking for a way to “fix” my routine… and somehow ended up more confused than when I started. There’s so much advice out there—about health, routines, workouts, food, all of it—and the frustrating part is… most of it actually sounds right. So where do you even begin? In this episode, I’m talking through what happens when everything feels like the right answer, why that can leave you stuck...

Easter came and I did what I always do… I went hard in the paint. Decorations, activities, the whole festive situation. And when my parents asked why I go so extreme with it, it kind of sent me down a spiral and I landed on a question of my own… Why the hell did we stop doing this? Where did the wonder, the awe, the magic go? Adulting is already hard enough, but somehow we’re expected to drop the...

A simple favor turned into a much bigger question… What actually counts as a friendship as an adult? In this episode, I’m talking about the weird in-between of “are we friends or are we just… in a very consistent situationship?” How my perspective on friendships has changed over time, and what I’m starting to realize about the difference between core people and everyone else. I don’t have the answ...

This is the first episode of Let’s See How This Goes. I talk about why I started this podcast, where the idea came from, and what this is actually going to be. This isn’t a how-to. I’m not an expert — just figuring out life as I go, in real time. So… let’s see how this goes.
