Navigating Friendships In Different Life Stages with My Friend Deanna
In this friendship series episode, I sit down with one of my closest friends, Deanna, to talk honestly about what it's like navigating friendships across different life stages. She opens up about being single & childfree while most of our friend group is deep in marriage and motherhood, the emotions that came up early on with it, and how they’ve shifted as she's gotten older. We talk about the importance of celebrating wins, how to approach hard conversations as friends, and what it’s like being the best aunt to our friends’ kids.
Key Takeaway / Points:
Our friendship origin story
Honest conversations about our friendship after I had my first kid
What it felt like for Deanna when everyone in our friend group started having kids
Whether she’s open to having children in the future
Why friendships should serve different purposes and the unfair expectations friends can put on each other
The "seesaw" theory of friendship
Advice for anyone feeling behind while their friends move into marriage and motherhood

Why We're Lonelier Than Ever (And How to Actually Fix It) with Dr. Marisa G. Franco
In this episode, I sit down with psychologist, author, and friendship expert, Dr. Marisa G. Franco, to unpack why we've been taught to prioritize romance over friendship and what it actually takes to build deep, lasting connections at any age. We talk about how attachment styles show up in our friendships & why the "loneliness epidemic" started way before smartphones. We also dive into self-worth: why compliments can sometimes backfire on people with low self-esteem, how "implicit memories" shape our triggers without us even knowing it, and the tools we can use for healing old wounds.
Key Takeaway / Points:
What is actually making us lonely as a society
How attachment styles show up in friendship (not just romance)
Male vs. female loneliness: the crisis of intimacy in men's friendships
How friendship is a skill that you need to keep practicing in adulthood
The role self-worth plays in building connections
What implicit memories are and how they quietly drive your triggers
How memory reconsolidation, somatic work, and psychedelics can literally change the emotional charge of old memories
Why the goal isn't to have a "secure" attachment, but rather "secure-ish"

WTF Is Happening To My Body: Labor & Delivery
Baby #3 is here! In this episode, I'm telling you my full labor and delivery story while it's still fresh. I walk you through what I did to induce labor, the membrane sweep that finally got things moving, and the water-breaking moment I've always wanted! Plus the “super soaker” moment that happened right before delivery and why I'm more at peace in the newborn bubble than I've ever been.
Key Takeaway / Points:
My "evict baby" week of acupuncture, reflexology, curb walking, sex, and a very good membrane sweep
A full timestamp of my time in the hospital before delivery and getting the epidural in time
Why the L&D nurse might matter more to your delivery than the doctor
What happened in the moments after I gave birth to my third baby
The brutal third-time cramping and soaking up the newborn bubble with my last baby
