Snowed in, emotionally thawing, and having one of those “we need to talk about it” weeks.

In this episode, I’m coming to you from a literal winter tundra with 28 inches of snow, cabin fever, too much time to think, and a heart that feels a little heavier than usual. We chat about what it means to exist in the world right now as a sensitive, empathetic human and why pretending everything’s fine just isn’t my vibe, plus how I’m learning to hold space for both joy and grief at the same time.

Then we get into some very real Spill the Tea moments: balancing different versions of yourself, friendships that feel weirdly competitive, money honesty in relationships, and outgrowing party culture in your 30s without losing your people.
