My poetry instructor had us list out our obsessions and concerns into two columns labeled “my obsessions and “my concerns.” It reminded me of what I’m doing with this podcast. My loves are my obsessions and my concerns are my spirals. Hey…. Our obsessions and concerns tie into our impulses that trickle into our writing and creative process and I love that I’ve been doing this all along and didn’t...

Episode 15, Season 2, What’s up y’all!? I hope you didn’t miss me too much during the two week break. Well, actually, I hope you did. Did you miss me? Did you notice I was gone? What is life if not to be wanted?  On this episode of the podcast, I have some updates from the two week wait that occurred during the two week break. Unfortunately, not great news, but what is life if not being vulnerable...

Taking a little break. See you in two weeks!

A new week, a new pod. You know how it works. :) This week I have some updates on my FET and starting new acupuncture, crystals, sage, all the woo soo stuff.  It’s been so busy lately, but the podcast keeps me sane and I love sharing my 30s with all of you. Every day can feel like a new struggle or adventure depending on how you look at it. I’ve definitely been filling my schedule, but I realized...

Hi Mildly Spiralers, What do we think of that?! Love? Hate? Fine? Just OK? I'm fineeeee.... Really. Y'all my therapist told me to have a margarita. I mean, she doesn't need to tell me twice. I'm considering it medical advise at this point. On this week's episode you can find out if I had margarita, spoiler alert I was dragged to a brewery that didn't have margaritas instead...

I started watching the Rooster and it made me nostalgic for my college years in a small New England town. It made me think of two weird stories that have stuck with me over the years as what I can only describe as Masshole behavior and I use that term with love.  Lots of updates on my fertility journey of course, it’s a long journey, and one that’s mostly been filled with downs, but I’m trying to...

This week’s episode is a shortie, but a goodie especially if you’re ready for some serious spirals. I’m currently doing PIO shots and progesterone makes me exhausted and moody. And the weather has shown up in NYC to match my mood too.  Lots of spirals like the progesterone shots and being in the TWW (two week wait) iykyk. I’d also really love to have a surprise party. Will someone please plan a su...

This episode is all about hyperfixations. You know those hyperfixations you get when you’re depressed and the only thing getting you out of bed is raspberries covered in chocolate. Well that’s mine right now. A few years ago, it was fun soap. I accumulated lots and lots of soap. I say whatever gets you through the day these days, ya know?!  I’m 2 days post egg retrieval and still feeling a little...

This episode is all about community, community, community. It can be really hard to find community especially when you work from home in an ever isolating world, but I think being a part of and showing up for your community(ies)  it’s such an important form of resistance. And it can be a fun one too!  I went to a jazz bar last week and it had me so enthralled that I literally jotted down in my not...

In the meantime , might I recommend you listen to one of the last three episodes you may have missed. My personal favorite is The Case of The Lost Wedding Ring so have a listen and I'll be back with lots of loves and spirals in two weeks! <3

You've got to love an episode where you're halfway through recording it and realize you haven't hit record on the video. So if you watch on YouTube you'll have a fun slideshow of my dogs to go with the episode this time! Psssst! I'm on youtube at @midlyspiralingpodcast. Check it out! It's been over a year since I learned about my infertility diagnosis and I feel like I'...

Bing Bong Bing Bong! Tune in to hear all things episode 9 before it drops on Monday 3/23!

Cue Sadness Cue Fear Cue Joy Cue ANXIETY because my girls (aka my emotions) have been loud this past week. I’ve been feeling extra emotional lately. Infertility is fucking hard and honestly there’s no way around it. Sometimes I think “why the hell am I doing this” as we enter what feels like WWIII, but we have to have hope, hope for a better future. This and finding little loves and lights in ever...

It’s been a busy week and I’m a little thrown off by Daylight Savings time. Anyone else feeling extra tired right now? On this week’s episode of the podcast I share a story about loosing my wedding ring at the beginning of the year. Eeeek! I also went to my first in-person PWHL game last week and let’s just say I plan to be a season ticket holder next year. It’s just so much fun and so empowering!...

Hi! I just love when women. Full stop. I'm so proud of myself for taking steps to advocate for myself which has paid off big! I have some great news on new insurance with an added fertility benefit that I'm super excited about! I also discuss body image and how I'm struggling as society seems to be going back to a very dark time. Ok a lot of this episode is about hockey , but it isn&#3...

Get ready for all the witchy witchy witchy details and my loves and spirals of the week

On this week’s episode I talk about the joy of watching Alysa Liu skate to gold. As a former skater it’s incredible to see someone bring so much joy to the ice and truly she has cracked the mental code. I need her secrets! This weekend I had the opportunity to see Every Brilliant Thing during one of its previews on Broadway. I was blown away by the impact it had on me. What a beautiful testament t...

In this episode I talk about the recipe for a hangover from hell post- Valentines Day wine.  I unexpectedly get pretty emotional discussing my journey as a figure skater and share my thoughts on some of the Milano Cortina stories so far.  Anyway, why are fertility apps so rude? What’s with the notes about being required to take a hormone test on the daily. It’s all already stressful enough.

It's episode 3 of Season 2 and we're in the middle of another arctic blast here in New York City. On this episode, I discuss everything from aging and getting low key kind of good at pilates, doing creative things just for fun, and being too plugged in. I also talk about my highlights from the opening ceremony of the Milano Cortina Winter Olympic games. I hope you'll tune in and join i...

Episode 2 of Season 2 has me on a tangent, so much so that I think I blackout at one point chatting your ear off. In a good way, I hope!! On this episode I talk about caring less about what people think of you as you get older hence wearing pilates socks out to a bar and deciding to TTC in your late 30s. I cover how heavy the world is right now under my spirals, the passing of a comedic legend, an...

It's the season 2 premiere of Mildly Spiraling! On this episode I give an update on my embryo transfer that happened at the end of December. I also go through my INs of 2026 which include who the hottest muppet is (imo) and slippery ICE making these ICE agents fall right on their asses. My OUTs of 2026 include guilt and not going to therapy. Season 2 is going to be so fun and I hope you'll...

Tune in for the final episode of season one where I highlight my loves and spirals of 2025. 2025 was all about finding me again and this podcast has been a huge part of that so I really appreciate every one of you that's tuned into one or maybe all of my episodes. I'll be back in 2026 with a brand new episode, lots of updates, and I'll even have some special guests throughout the seaso...

It's the 10th episode and penultimate episode of the season!! On this episode I discuss advent calendars (lovin' them), missing good ole' TV channels, people that still have their Halloween decor up, and awkward social interactions. I also give a major fertility journey update and IVF. Spoiler Alert the bathrobes at the hospital are really comfortable.
