Cheers to the present! We will never be able to tell the future, so why spend the energy worrying about it? In this episode of Thick & Thin, my goal is to stop wasting my time trying to control the narrative, but sometimes the anticipatory anxiety and endless what-ifs, win.

We all hate being told what to do. It's a tale as old as time. So in this episode of Thick & Thin, I try to discover why. Why is it human nature to crave what we can't have? Is it for thrills? For power? For knowledge? Or perhaps, all of the above.

Our memory can be fickle. Like do you remember anything from 8th-grade math class? Well, neither do I. But yet, I can recite my mom's license plate from her early 2000s mini-van, and I still know my friend's old landline number. So, why do some things stick while others don't? Let's find out. In this episode of Thick & Thin, I discuss how positive and negative stressors affect our memories.
