   Good Luck With That!

   This week we’re talking about how to tell someone they smell (spoiler: I have no idea), side hustles when everything costs too much, whether you should finally start that creative project, making friends as an adult, friendship disappointment, feeling trapped in your job, and how to enjoy conspiracy theories without spiraling into despair. Basically, you sent in your problems and I did my best to solve them. Some I actually had advice for. Others left me completely stumped. But somewhere along the way, a theme emerged about change, figuring out what’s next, and learning to hold things a little more loosely when life doesn’t look quite like you thought it would. Plus, I’m sharing my Top Five Guilty Pleasures, the worst advice I’ve ever received, and what happened when I asked ChatGPT to warn people about me. (I asked it to be meaner. That was a mistake.) Some problems have answers. Some apparently just get a “Good luck with that!" And yes, Take a Jill Pill hats are officially live! Get yours here!

   New Music, Minor Inconveniences & AI Might Kill Us All…Cheers!

   After a few weeks away, I’m back and we have a LOT to catch up on. I’m talking about finally starting to record my new album, including the song that had me crying in the vocal booth, and sharing my memories of September 11th and my family’s personal connection to that day. Then, naturally, things take a turn because apparently AI might kill us all in ten years. So why am I still answering emails? Plus: Nashville, Dunkin’, the Lindsay Clancy mistrial, Costco, minor inconveniences that cause me major irritation, listener questions, and a Jill Pill about why I’m done waiting for life to “settle down” before doing the things I really want to do. Cheers!

   Faith, Foot Balm & Things I Don’t Know

   This week, I’m talking about faith, foot balm, and a whole lot of things I don’t know. After watching the documentary, Death of The Pastor’s Wife, I found myself thinking about my own complicated relationship with church, organized religion, and faith. I grew up in church, my faith is still a huge part of my life, and I also have a lot of questions. I’m sharing some of the experiences that shaped the way I see it all now, why I think putting people on pedestals can get dangerous, and why maybe one of the most honest things we can say is simply, “I don’t know.” But don’t worry, we’re also discussing the Robot Olympics, ChatGPT getting things very wrong, my concerning habit of buying things online when I should be sleeping, and why TikTok apparently knows I need foot balm before I do. Plus, my Top 5 things that were better in the ’90s, listener questions, and a Jill Pill about making a little more room for uncertainty. Faith, foot balm, AIM away messages. We cover a lot of ground here. Glad you’re here!
