My dad and I have always loved having conversations about what's happening in the world, connecting the dots between seemingly unrelated things, and trying to understand the bigger picture. So I figured, why not let you guys in on one? With the midterms having just happened, and so much going on in the world right now, it feels like a good time to reflect on how we got here, where we're...

In this week’s episode of Grace Yapps, we’re doing an easy-listen yap sesh, with a little Halloween special tucked inside. We’re taking on a question submitted by one of you: what can a woman’s Halloween costume tell you about her future sex life? I map out five archetypes, from approval-focused to performance-focused, to self-directed and mutual, and plot where each one lands on the sexy vs. orig...

A bit of a different episode this week. With everything surrounding the Cornell Seven allegations, we’re yapping about sexual violence—not only as an isolated act, but as something that exists within a much larger culture. We connect the dots between the experiences women learn to normalize, sexual entitlement, male peer approval, silence, victim scrutiny, the realities of reporting, and the insti...

This week we're yapping about self-abandonment in all the sneaky ways it shows up in our lives—from struggling to set boundaries, to needing to be productive to feel worthy, to somehow convincing ourselves that running ourselves into the ground is actually very empowering of us.

In this week's episode of Grace Yapps, we're getting into why familiar can feel safer than better — even when you already know something in your life needs to change. I talk through why your nervous system will choose a familiar hell every single day over an unfamiliar heaven if you let it, and the actual mechanics of what gets in the way once you know you need to make a change: your rel...

In this week's episode of Grace Yapps, my sister Olivia — two-time Olympian (and Olympic Medalist), PWR Premiership Champion & Player of the Season, and full-time menace — is finally back on the pod, and we're yapping about what a decade of professional Rugby has taught her about perfectionism, captaincy, and what it actually feels like to be visible whether you asked for it or not....

In this week's episode of Grace Yapps, we're doing a mini Q&A yap sesh with questions submitted from you. Starting with why I think it's less about how much love you received as a kid and more about what happened when you had emotional needs, and how culture (not just parenting) pushes men toward avoidant patterns and women toward anxious ones. We're also answering the eter...

In this week's episode of Grace Yapps, we're yapping about why we sometimes chase excitement in unhealthy ways, what Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs reveals about the parts of our lives we've been neglecting, and my newest invention— Bad Bitch Walks™ —for getting yourself out of a funk when you're having one of those days.

In this episode of Grace Yapps, we're yapping about one of the biggest misconceptions people have about confidence—and why confidence isn't something you're born with or magically "find."
