  • The woman giving menopause a rebrand (Tamsen Fadal)

    The woman giving menopause a rebrand (Tamsen Fadal)
    Oct 20 2026
    Right out of college, I got accepted into a reporter boot camp in New York, and when they told me I’d be carrying the camera and tripod, driving the van, and filming my own packages in front of burning buildings, I realized I didn’t think I was newsy enough. So sitting down with Tamsen Fadal, an Emmy Award winning journalist and New York Times bestselling author, finally gave me the chance to hear what that path is really like from someone who took it. Tamsen’s first TV job was in Oak Hill, West Virginia in 1994, where she shot her own footage and made $14,000 a year. She worked her way through Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and Orlando, spent months working five days a week in Philly and taking a 4 a.m. train to report in New York on weekends, and finally landed at CBS in New York in 2004. Along the way she built a matchmaking business with her then-husband, co-wrote two dating books, and went through a divorce so public that it was in the newspapers sitting on her own newsroom desks. She walked away with $100,000 in credit card debt, and she’s refreshingly open about what she wishes she’d understood about money back then. Then came the night at PIX11 when, during a commercial break in the 10 o’clock news, her whole body flushed with heat and her heart wouldn’t stop racing. She ended up lying on the tile floor of the women’s bathroom to cool down, and after a round of doctors suggesting stress and anxiety, a note showed up in her patient portal: in menopause, any questions? We get into what perimenopause actually looks like, the age she’d start that conversation with your doctor, why she was afraid of hormone therapy after losing her mom to cancer, and the statistic that sent her down the path to two PBS documentaries and her new book, How to Menopause. I’m probably years away from any of this, and I still have her book on my nightstand. Tell me in the comments what you wish someone had told you about perimenopause sooner!

  • The woman who went no contact with her Mormon in-laws

    The woman who went no contact with her Mormon in-laws
    Oct 13 2026
    Today’s guest is Carli, and if you’ve spent any time online lately, you may have already seen her multi-part series about going no contact with her in-laws. (I made myself stop after part six so I could hear the rest of the story fresh, right alongside you). Every part pulled in hundreds of thousands of views, and somehow this is the very first podcast she’s done about it. Carli met her husband right after she graduated high school, they got engaged three or four months later, and she married him at 18. Her mother-in-law was completely on board with the wedding, but the warmth didn’t last long once Carli became a mom. Suddenly every decision was up for debate, from her son’s three-hour bedtime routine to what went on his plate to whether he should be in therapy at all. Then came the Thanksgiving when they drove down from Idaho to Utah, arrived at the time they’d been given, and found the whole family downstairs playing games with dinner already over. What followed was a three-hour phone call, an apology that got taken back days later, and a sentence from her mother-in-law that Carli still can’t shake: that she withholds love from people she doesn’t agree with. We talk about the role their Mormon upbringing played, why it took her husband so long to see his family clearly, the spam accounts that flooded her comments after the series went viral, and the one condition they’ve set for ever speaking again. I came into this with a lot of questions, including how much of this was her husband’s responsibility to shut down, and Carli answered every one of them honestly. If you’ve ever had a hard relationship with your in-laws or your own parents, I think this one will make you feel a lot less alone. Tell me in the comments how you’ve handled family boundaries in your own life.

  • The mindset shifts that changed how I work

    The mindset shifts that changed how I work
    Oct 6 2026
    This episode is part four of "All the Stuff I Don't Usually Talk About." (The final part of a four-part mini series!)
 If you've been following along, this is the one where I get into the mindset work behind everything else. In 2018 a life coach reached out to me, and I've worked with her nearly every week for seven years since. What began as mindset coaching turned into business strategy and then into a mix of both, and she has helped me reshape how I show up in my career and in my life.
 I'm sharing the shifts that have stuck with me the most: the mountain analogy I use when I catch myself feeling competitive with other creators, what changed once I started saying the uncomfortable thing out loud, and why so much of my disappointment in parenting comes down to expectations versus reality. I'm also talking about how I rebuilt my relationship with my workday so my weeks feel personally and creatively fulfilling, and about the financial goal I chased for six years and the surprising question that arrived the moment I hit it.
