This week I’m breaking down my vacation to Thailand. From the highs and the luxury moments to what surprised me and what didn’t, I’m sharing the full recap and everything the trip made me think about.
I’m talking about Netflix’s documentary Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model
This week has been pure stress. I’m talking about everything that overwhelmed me, what pushed me to my limit, and why I’m holding it together knowing I’m about to escape to Thailand.
I’m asking the question everyone’s thinking: where the hell was Daddy Yankee during Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show?

I’m sounding off on Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show and why Lady Gaga completely killed the vibe for me. From the energy shift to the cultural disconnect
My heart is filled with joy for Nicki Minaj because finally, she can be the openly bigoted woman she’s clearly been this whole time. No more dog whistles. No more plausible deniability. Just loud, proud, mask-off behavior and a fanbase still pretending this is shocking.

PRAY FOR ME YALL
I’m sounding off on tipping culture, breaking down what I tip on, what I don’t, and why tipping expectations feel completely out of control right now.
Im going THROUGH it with this book and me in a deep rabbit hole.
Before getting into why I’m single, I talk about the killing of Renee Good in Minneapolis by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and why it feels like our country is at a frightening breaking point. Then I pivot into my own life, relationships, and why being single makes sense for me.
I’m talking about why reading is still my favorite form of media and why nothing else compares. I share some of the books that shaped me and explain why reading slows me down, deepens empathy, and gives me something no other medium can.
Books I mention in this episode
Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi
The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett
The River Is Waiting by Wally Lamb
The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah
Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens
I’m talking about why I don’t do New Year’s resolutions and why I think real growth doesn’t come from arbitrary dates or yearly resets.
Here we go...
It’s my birthday and I don’t care. I’m talking about why birthdays, holidays, and weekends don’t align with me and why I’d rather live a life that doesn’t need an annual ovation.
This episode is a stream of consciousness about parenthood—the mental load, managing a child’s emotions while juggling your own, and how everything else in life gets pushed to the back burner.
Random thoughts, part three. I’m talking through my Christmas brunch menu, holiday planning, and whatever else my brain decided to spiral into.
Random thoughts, part two. I’m talking about Netflix’s Beast in Me and diving into Wally Lamb’s new novel The River Is Waiting—what stuck with me, what didn’t, and why both had me thinking.
I break down a New York Magazine article on holiday gift pressure, then get nostalgic about what made Christmas magical in my childhood and how I want to create that feeling for Sky.
Shoutout to the Hanukkah and Kwanzaa gerls, you deserve your own shine. Christmas is doing too much, so hear me out… let’s move the holidays.
