Dear Friends,If you’re a new subscriber, welcome! There are a lot of you this week, and I’m so happy you’re here. It truly means the world to me. You might be wondering what this Come As You Are Conversation is all about. Once a month or so I go live with a writer whose writing I love, respect, appreciate, and admire - to talk about - you guessed it, writing. Inevitably, the conversation turns to life, love, grief, inspiration, loneliness, connection - and what it is that draws us back to the page

Rage Against the Dying of the Light

Come As You Are Podcast ·

2025/06/07

This week’s episode is about uncertainty, the one thing we can all count on. We never know what will happen next - all of our careful plans can be turned upside down on a regular Tuesday without notice - and we, ourselves, may be unsure of how we feel about what’s happening around us unless we pause, tune in, and give ourselves some space to breathe. We don’t know how long we have, or what happens after this. The ability to sit with our own vulnerability is the key to finding ease in this world

Big, Beautiful Lies

Come As You Are Podcast ·

2025/05/31

This is a talk about grief in all its forms. It's a talk about losing my mom, and feeling like I failed her in the moments after her death. It's about finding three expensive, very similar black sweaters hanging in her closet, and why that broke my heart. It’s about being at war within yourself, and why it’s so important to try to find some peace and forgiveness - not just for your own wellbeing, but for everyone around you. It’s also about who we say we are versus who we’re being in the world

Project 2029

Come As You Are Podcast ·

2025/05/17

“Flooding the zone” is a strategy used to overwhelm opponents in politics or media. You throw so much information into the mix that it is nearly impossible for your critics to respond to everything, and eventually people stop responding to anything - they give up, they turn away, they can’t take it anymore. That’s the strategy being used, openly, by the administration in power in the United States right now. Something dreadful happens, and if you do speak up, you’re told the thing you’re upset about

The Speed of Untethering

Come As You Are Podcast ·

2025/05/10

This is a talk about impermanence and vulnerability. It’s about losing people you don’t know how to live without, and this feeling we have that things are more solid than they are - that our feet planted here and we can count on that. There are two ways to ride the ride - you can embrace change and open to the uncertainty, love your heart out, keep your eyes open and your mind, too - or you can respond with fear. People who respond with fear want to pin things down, they want control. They plant

Maybe if I Try Like This

Come As You Are Podcast ·

2025/05/03

Once in a while I start the podcast by reading this week’s essay. I did that in this episode, and then talked about what it’s like to exist in the world and know that you are unsafe. I think it’s hard to understand unless you’ve lived it and breathed it - unless you’ve worried about passing someone in a narrow stairwell, or sent your location to a girlfriend because you felt scared, unless you’ve put your keys between your fingers in a parking lot, or looked behind you on a desolate street. Unless

The Sixth Gear

Come As You Are Podcast ·

2025/04/26

A talk about the nervous system and what happens when you get used to chaos and danger as a way of life. There’s fight or flight, fawn, freeze or flop, but there’s also a “sixth gear” for people who grew up scanning the environment for signs that they might be in jeopardy at any moment, because that often proved to be the case. It’s a bit like cruise control or autopilot - this still and quiet place inside where you retreat so you can think and do the things that need to get done, even if you are

Snow White, the Later Years

Come As You Are Podcast ·

2025/04/19

A talk about the fairytales we grew up on, and how disturbing and mind-boggling it can be when you read them as an adult. There are always messages coming at us from the culture of our time - it’s not just fairytales of course, it’s films, television shows, things we learn from our families of origin, whatever is in the zeitgeist - those messages permeate everything. They are the water we’re swimming in. They help shape the ideas we have about ourselves, the world around us, and our place in it

No Mud, No Lotus

Come As You Are Podcast ·

2025/04/12

A talk about the gift of genuine, abiding, ride-or-die friendship with women. What that looks like, and what it does not look like. Your best friends will tell you the truth. They’ll tell it to your face, they won’t say it behind your back. They’ll apologize when they hurt you, just like you’ll apologize when you make mistakes. That’s how you build something real, and that’s how you know you’re on solid ground. We need our friends right now, we need to know who our friends are, and that we’re safe

This is not about Pepsi.

Come As You Are Podcast ·

2025/04/05

A talk about how hard it is to be living in a country that is breaking your heart and astounding you every day of the week, and how lots of people are having a very tough time right now. There is a lot to be gained by giving people the benefit of the doubt, by trying not to project or assume, by extending compassion wherever you can…but, there’s also a line where you have to take care of yourself. There’s a place where extending too much slack is the same thing as allowing yourself to be treated in

Group Chat, Who Dis?

Come As You Are Podcast ·

2025/03/29

A talk about the Signal group chat, of course, but in the context of the larger experience of dealing with people who will never be accountable. People who will look you directly in the eye and lie to you, or deny wrongdoing and then attack you - or anyone else - when called out. People who will assert you did not see what you saw, or hear what you heard. Maybe you know people like this, I do. It is exhausting and disheartening to deal with them, because without honest communication and the ability

Breaking the Fifth

Come As You Are Podcast ·

2025/03/22

A reading of this week’s essay, and a talk about those relationships that devastate your heart because you’re in love with someone who leaves you no choice but to end things. When you look back you realize you were being tested from the start - you were being asked to tolerate things you never should have - and in the end the only choice was the pain that poisons you, or the pain that sets you free. And how that all ties into what’s happening in our country right now, the Fifth Amendment, due

The Eagle Has Landed

Come As You Are Podcast ·

2025/03/15

A talk about the pain of living in a country where half the people look at a set of circumstances and feel horrified, and the other half look at the same set of circumstances and celebrate. And the difficulty in communicating when all trust in facts has been eroded and people give the same credence to anyone with a YouTube channel as they do to medical experts - often more. Also the concept of turning your heartbreak into art, the importance of continuing to learn new things, and why you want to

Divided We Fall

Come As You Are Podcast ·

2025/03/08

A talk about the pain and folly of trying to communicate with people who genuinely lack empathy, the frustration of feeling gaslit by people who claim to love you, and why it was so triggering for so many of us to watch a good man be double-teamed by two narcissists in the Oval Office … and walk away dealing with the most victim-blaming question of them all.

Hooters and Balls

Come As You Are Podcast ·

A talk about what it’s like existing as a girl or woman in this world, and particularly in this country if you’re in the United States. And when I say “woman” I am including women who have babies, women who decide they don’t want to have children, women who deal with infertility, women who have lost babies, women who have raised babies on their own, Queer women, Black women, Brown women, Indigenous women, Transgender women.

This Is Not an Audit

Come As You Are Podcast ·

2025/02/22

A talk about what we’re living through in the United States right now, and how dizzying it is for so many of us who are devastated, outraged and heartbroken, to see people in this country who are still on board with what is occurring in real time. It is hard to exist, to have a “normal” day going about your business when your government is in upheaval, democracy is on the line, and you’re scared for your friends, your neighbors, your daughter, yourself. It’s also a talk about empathy, and what a

Say the True Things Out Loud

Come As You Are Podcast ·

2025/02/15

A talk about why it can take Herculean effort to advocate for yourself, to speak up when you’re hurting (or when you’re happy, sometimes), to put a value on the work you do - and why it’s worth it to push through, even though it can be so uncomfortable.
