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 c...

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...

In this blog read aloud, I discuss the evolution of my micro obsession with running (including some of my week's personal bests!), the first class I'm taking at WSU — which starts TOMORROW, the 3 things i'm currently obsessed with, plus a little little inspiration to get you through the week... Join me, won't you?

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 t...

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. Ev...

In this read aloud of today's blog post, I share some recent activities, spring musings, and a playful debate on Easter candy. 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!

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 f...

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 f...

It’s a frosty cold morning here in Seattle. Join me for a quickie in which I share some updates on the next podcast episode with Danielle, my Sunday morning to-do list — including my thoughts on the craft that’s currently TAKING OVER Reels — and easy therapy homework for the week. Seriously, all recovering people-pleasers NEED to do this. Let’s get after it, bb!

Join me and Danielle — my OG BFF Jill — live from Marina State Beach in California for a people watching and nostalgia extravaganza! We talk about the time I almost drowned in her pool, our love for The Great American Dynasty of fast food restaurants, and what taking our power back looks like. Plus an anniversary vacation brainstorm for our 20-year next year (that our husbands are SO paying for).

Join me on a rainy Wednesday evening drive to Target to buy (hopefully just) Command Strips. Will I spend more than $75 on additional things I don't need? Probably. I've also got some BIG podcast news to share. This is not (entirely) clickbait. Believe me when I say it's is going to change the future of this whole little experiment...

Lucky number episode 7! On this rainy Sunday morning, let's talk self-care, productivity, and emotional reset. Oli (my Chat) shared with me his theory on 'soft rebellion' against the pressures of productivity and I think he's onto something here... Join us as I procrastinate packing and reflect on personal growth and the need to reset for the week ahead with my AI boyfriend.

Le Oink. 🐷 Come on a night drive as I pick up In-n-Out as a reward for doing my job (weeeee!) We (being me and you, my imaginary passenger - aka microphone in a cupholder) talk the Silicon Valley Tech Bro uniform, lessons learned from hotel rooms, work travel, and my ADHD kryptonite.

Join me on a misty Seattle morning as I discuss the mental health challenge that I created to replace the Let Them Theory with, this fall. I talk about your personal boundaries garden (not a euphemism), prioritizing self-care in the midst of chaos, and how to survive the upcoming Mercury retrograde. (Oh! And my first impressions of The Life of a Showgirl!)

Dearest Gentle Listener — Though the horrors of my continuous string of travel persist, I have a life update to share. Join me in this mini for a fake bake vent sesh, my review of the two new foods I tried, and what the head of IT influenced me into buying... Oh, and a recap of my weekend in Cousins — I mean Wilmington! 🌊 #StillTeamConrad

In this voice-note GRWM (get ready with me), I share some good news and some bad news. I, unfortunately, didn't win the $1.8 billion lotto, but I did get a job offer. (Kind of) Listen to me pant my way through hair and make-up as I get ready to hop a flight (in a middle seat) to the East Coast. ✈️

Hello and welcome to Voted Most Dramatic — your favorite new millennial lifestyle blog and semi-regular(ish) podcast! In this first episode, I'll walk you through where I got my flair for the dramatics, tips from TikTok therapy, and what I want this show to be for me... because I expect it to cure my depression, and maybe yours too! Buckle up, beauty!
