The TikTok Trend that Has Me Smiling

This week, I'm talking about one of the current TikTok trends all over my FYP - the one where cute animals do something boring or mundane, but their mere existence is enough to fill you with a small amount of joy.

The Song That Called Me Out

In this week’s episode, I’m talking about the song that’s been living rent‑free in my brain — High Priestess by Qveen Herby — and why its message hit me harder than I expected. It’s a reflection on burnout, the grief of who we used to be, and the work of letting go so we can meet the dark with our light. If you’ve ever had a lyric call you out in the gentlest, most necessary way… this one’s for you.

I Have Opinions... But Not All of Them Are Shareable

This episode explores the tension between heaviness and hope, and how our people help us hold both at the same time.
