2026/09/15

Taking life so seriously is exhausting, and today I recorded this in my pajamas instead. My guest cancelled, my producer needed an episode, and what I found underneath the whole mess was a question I keep asking myself lately: what if this does not mean anything at all?

2026/09/08

When someone is disappointed in you, how long is it before you start explaining yourself?I get into what that reaction is really about, because the fear underneath it is almost never their emotion.
