Speaking Of This
What started as a “Wait, am I the problem?” moment became a mission, to give voice to the thoughts we bury, the truths we dodge, and the conversations no one else wants to have. Because no matter our age or stage, we’re all still trying to figure it out, and we are more connected than we realize.

Quick question for my audience: Have you ever had to choose between being there for your kids and being there for your aging parent? Like actually choose, because you couldn't be in two places at once? Tomorrow's episode is about the millions of people living that choice every single day.

What do you think happens when parents can't raise their kids, but the grandparents step in instead? Tomorrow's episode is one I've been wanting to make for a long time. It's about the millions of grandparents who gave up retirement to become parents again. And why nobody's helping them.

I published something this week that goes deeper than my latest episode.
It’s about suffering, what happens when pain goes unexamined, how empathy gets misunderstood, and why accountability doesn’t require dehumanizing anyone.
This was inspired by a response to my elder abuse episode, not as a rebuttal, but as a reflection. If you’ve ever felt the tension between understanding harm and holding boundaries… this one’s for you.
I’ll leave the link here. Read it slowly.

Most people think caregiving is a story about sacrifice.
About burnout.
About what it takes from you.
I wrote something that starts there, and ends somewhere else entirely.
If you’ve ever loved someone in a way that quietly rearranged your life,
this might feel familiar.
I shared the full piece on Substack.

I’ve been thinking a lot about this lately. The things we tolerate don’t scream at us, they teach us quietly.
New episode drops Monday. We will discuss questions you’ve been avoiding, but need to hear.
