This week was one of those blurry ones—where the days feel like molasses but your soul’s sprinting. Walking through thyroid cancer treatment will do that. Everything slows down and speeds up all at once. So, we sat down to record… and somehow ended up talking about roadkill hats, the power of suggestion, pocket preferences, and the staying power of childhood cartoons.
It might sound like chaos (and it is), but somewhere in there, we found a thread—about how little pivots can change everything, how “default mode” somehow became “busy,” and how not every shift in life has to come with blame. Sometimes it’s just a moment. A before and after.
It’s a whole lot of nothing, and a whole lot of everything, wrapped in laughter, fatigue, faith, and tomato plants.
Which honestly? Feels just right for this season.
