Someday Is Here

Episode 36: Mother’s Day looks different this year

This Mother’s Day feels different. Living far from my mom for the first time, not having all of my kids under my roof, and sitting with the quiet that comes with that. A reflection on how motherhood changes over time, what it means to let go, and learning how to hold both grief and gratitude in the same space. Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms, in whatever way this day finds you.

Episode 35: The Things We Collect When We Didn’t Mean To

It started as a joke… that managing your health feels a little like Pokémon Go, except instead of collecting creatures, you’re collecting doctors. But underneath that is something real. In this episode, I talk about the emotional weight of living in a body that requires constant attention, and the parts no one really prepares you for.

Episode 34: I Rode the Train Scared

I recently took BART into Oakland for the first time to take my California Law and Ethics exam. For some people, that might sound like a normal errand. For me, it was a huge anxiety moment. Public transportation, tunnels, not being in control, the noise, the movement — all of it felt like too much. In this episode, I’m talking about what it means to do something scared. Not perfectly. Not calmly. Not because anxiety disappeared. But because sometimes healing looks like taking the next step while your nervous system is still screaming.

Episode 33: When you don’t have the words yet

Sometimes you know something is there, you can feel it, but you don’t quite have the words for it yet. This episode is about that space. The in-between. The unfinished. And choosing to show up before everything is clear. I’ll come back to the conversation around parenting adult children when I have a clearer understanding of what I’m trying to say.

Episode 32: The One Who Knows Me Best

What does it actually look like to grow together over time… not perfectly, not easily, but honestly? After sharing reflections about each of our kids in recent episodes, it felt incomplete not to also include the person who has walked beside me through every version of me. The one who has seen the growth, the hard seasons, the questions, and all the in-between moments that don’t always make it into a story. In this episode, Sean joins me for a real, unscripted conversation about how relationships evolve, what we’ve learned the hard way, and what it means to keep choosing each other as life keeps changing. We talk about emotional differences, communication, learning to approach challenges as a team, and how growth often happens slowly, through everyday moments that don’t always look significant at the time. This isn’t about having the right answers. It’s about being willing to keep showing up. If you’ve ever wondered how relationships change as people grow, or what it looks like to build something steady over time, this conversation is for you.
