Follow me, your host, Tracey on a journey as I explore all of midlife's ups and downs as an ex-political staffer, comedian , and writer still figuring out what the hell I want to do with my life. Always doing. Always curious. Always interested. Always Mildly Spiraling. No really, I'm fine.
It’s the one year anniversary of Mildly Spiraling podcast!! Fireworks!! Confetti!! Shooting Stars!! Thank you so much to all my listeners whether you tuned into one episode or every single episode, you’re truly the best! Every rating (kind ones), like, listen truly makes my day and I cannot thank you enough for listening or watching over the last year.
This week’s episode is actually a two parter. I’ll release the first episode this week and the next episode the following Monday. There may even be a part 3 that I record this week because I have more listener loves and spirals to discuss! And every love and/or spiral is very important to me.
It’s a spontaneous episode if a podcast can be described as such that I think you’ll really enjoy.
As always you can email your loves and spirals to mildlyspiralingpod@gmail.com (mailto:mildlyspiralingpod@gmail.com) and I’ll read them on the pod in Season 3!! You can also follow me on Instagram, TikTok, and Substack at mildlyspiralingpod and like, subscribe, and rate the pod wherever you listen!

LA LA LOVES (and Spirals)
It’s been a busy busy week over here at Mildly Spiraling aka my life. I traveled to LA for three nights and slept in some very comfortable hotel beds which obviously is an absolute love.
I got back to New York City and got to participate in some amazing events- a poetry reading down the Hudson river, seeing the Strokes and Beach House in Concert, and oh just a surprise visit from AOC and Bernie.
The end of the week has been tough with my next cycle’s IVF baseline appointment not going as I’d hoped. It can be really tough, heavy, lonely (all the things) out there with severe DOR and sometimes I just want to lay down with one of my bean bag pillows over my eyes and shut it all out.
It’s a jam-packed episode with lots of updates, fun life adventures and not so fun life adventures, but life adventures none the less so I hope you’ll tune in!
As always you can email your loves and spirals to mildlyspiralingpod@gmail.com (mailto:mildlyspiralingpod@gmail.com) and I’ll read them on the pod in Season 3!! You can also follow me on Instagram, TikTok, and Substack at mildlyspiralingpod and like, subscribe, and rate the pod wherever you listen!

Nor’Easter & Traveling with IVF Meds
Welcome to Season 3 Episode 7 of the pod. I guess this episode is all about sleep and how much I love it because I mention it about three times on this week’s podcast episode. It’s been a rainy and windy last three days in New York City from this Nor-Easter and it’s making me extra sleepy. I think my ideal day would probably be a day in bed, cuddled up with my two dogs with a good book.
I’m traveling for work soon while estrogen priming and if I know anything it’s that my period likes to come early once I start estrogen, so I’m mentally preparing for the sheer panic that may happen if my period comes early in the week versus later in the week. I’m planning to pack a lunchbox of IVF meds to travel with and need to figure out scans and how I am going to make all of this work which is proving to be very stressful.
It’s a fun episode even if I sound super stressed writing about it all now, so I hope you’ll tune in!
