This is I Hear You, Babe. Today we are talking about the comment that was small but stayed with you forever.

It starts with a very New York moment. I asked a guy for a lighter while he was literally smoking a cigarette and he said he didn’t have one. And somehow that spirals into everything.

Because this episode is not about the big blowups. It’s about the tiny comments. The offhand one liners. The weird little moments that technically should not matter, but quietly rearrange how you take up space.

We read your emails about the sentences you still hear years later from managers, friends, dates, teachers, parents, strangers, and sometimes your own brain. And we talk about why those moments land so hard, why they stay, and how to stop letting them shrink you.

This week on I Hear You, Babe, we’re easing into it.

I start by talking about losing Dude and how grateful I am that we were able to say goodbye at home. It was quiet. It was sad. It was peaceful. And yes, I cried like a child.

From there, we settle into a very real, very human mega episode about what actually helps when you’re not okay — not in an Instagram way, not in a fix-it way, but in the way people actually survive hard seasons.

You’ll hear long listener emails and shorter ones. Stories about grief, relationships, therapy, doing less, neutral days, sitting on the floor, going to the same bar, loving animals, and letting things be unfinished.

I also do a lot of chitchatting.
Interrupting.
Reacting.
Sitting with things instead of tying them up.

If you’re not okay right now, this episode isn’t here to make you better.
It’s here to keep you company.

This week, it is the fake limbo between Christmas and New Year’s where nobody knows what day it is, time feels optional, and I refuse to spend a single second doing a countdown with anyone I don’t deeply trust. We’re talking gray New York days, castor oil everywhere, vision boards on the living room floor, and the specific chaos that only shows up when the year is about to end.

We’re reading your weirdest nights out. The carpet night. The lost phone spiral that ends with someone answering their own phone and crying to their mom. The accidental afters where you think you’re going to another bar and instead someone hands you soup in a mug at 7am. Running into your ex and immediately walking into a pole. The bathroom best friend who knows your entire life story and then disappears forever. And the quiet walk home that somehow becomes the night that stays.

Because the wild nights are never really about the night. They’re about the walk home, the bathroom conversation, the moment you realize you’re done while everyone else is still going, and the second soup enters the chat and you know it’s time to leave.

It is almost Christmas and I am in that weird in between time where the city feels half asleep and everything feels a little softer. Last night I went to Jan and Jackie’s Christmas show at Red Eye. Tonight Darius and I are doing a candlelight concert with traditional Christmas songs. Tomorrow I head to Pittsburgh for a few days and I am already thinking about my mom’s food and also missing my man.

Then we get into the emails. What I know now that I wish I’d known then. Love that feels like a performance. The difference between peace and settling. Why silence at work costs you. And why missing someone does not mean you should go back.

This week on I Hear You, Babe, Dino gets into Hot Takes — the quiet thoughts you have at the kitchen counter, the texts you never sent, the opinions you immediately judge yourself for having.

These aren’t podcast bro hot takes or engagement bait. They’re honest. Messy. Lived in.

Listener emails and DMs roll in on love, friendship, self respect, silence, closure, being “chill,” outgrowing people, and the moment you realize staying loyal to the past can mean abandoning yourself in the present. Dino riffs on what it actually means to grow, to set boundaries, and to tell yourself the truth without turning anyone into a villain.

The episode also touches on grief, compassion, and remembering that you never really know what someone might be carrying when they show up in the world.

If this episode stirred something for you, long emails are always welcome at ihearyoubabepod@gmail.com — the messy ones especially.

And if you’re also into the darker side of storytelling, Dino’s new true crime podcast I Fear You, Babe is now live, exploring unsettling cases through a human, emotionally grounded lens.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re disloyal or just honest — this episode is for you.

I hear you, babe.

This week we’re talking about the moments when the version of ourselves we thought we’d outgrown comes bursting through the door like, “Hey girl, remember me?”

From jealousy to teenage spirals to emotional regression to accidentally telling your therapist you love him — today’s episode is a gentle drag, a group confession, and a reminder that the “real you” isn’t the problem. The shame is.

We read your long, emotional, chaotic, complicated listener emails and talk about why your honest self isn’t something to hide… even when she’s deeply inconvenient.

Come laugh, cry, cringe, and breathe through it, babe.
It’s I Hear You, Babe.

Welcome to Episode 25, babe — the “I swear I didn’t forget you” episode.

This week is The Lost Emails — all the stories you’ve sent over the last few months that didn’t quite fit a theme or missed the timing but lived in my brain anyway.

Some are funny.

Some are tender.

Some are unhinged in the best way.

And all of them are so real.

This is one big love letter to you — the listeners — and everything you’ve trusted me with.

If you’ve been thinking about sharing your story, please don’t be shy. It’s always anonymous and it’s always welcome.

Send it to ihearyoubabepod@gmail.com — whether it’s a story for the pod or you just have something you want to get off your chest.

And if you want a special discount on SaltDrop (online or in-studio), just email info@thesaltdrop.com and say hi.

Babe, I got you.

This week’s episode is my version of a gratitude episode… which means it is not polished, not Pinterest, and definitely not “10 things I’m thankful for” energy.

We’re talking about the things you’re actually grateful you survived.
The friendships that got weird.
The jobs that tried to age you.
The relationships that looked fine from the outside but were quietly draining the life out of you.
The eras where you were everyone’s emergency contact, everyone’s therapist, everyone’s “strong one.”

I talk a little about the friend group turbulence in my own life (hi, sub-chats of sub-chats) and what happens when people put each other on pedestals and stop relating to the actual human underneath. Then we get into your emails — real, messy, thoughtful, funny as hell, and honestly really moving.

It’s gratitude with boundaries.
It’s “thank you for the lesson, but the class is closed.”
It’s Thank You, Next in real time.
