Carolyn Deserved Better (And the Show Kind of Proves It)

John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette became a national obsession. I watched all of Love Story so we could talk about what it got right, what it got wrong, and what their story still says about fame and identity in this day and age. Please follow me on social! Instagram: @paoandcopodcast

A land with no men

This episode is a thought experiment born from fear and frustration. As misogyny continues to shape our reality, I explore why the idea of a land with no men feels like refuge, and what it says about the world women are navigating today.

Not Ready for Old Age

No one hands you a manual for watching the people you love grow old. In this episode, I’m diving into the "uncomfortable truths" of aging and caregiving. Watching my mom care for my grandmother was a wake-up call I wasn't expecting—revealing the mental, emotional, and financial toll that hits when the roles of parent and child start to flip. I’m sharing how this experience exposed my own lack of preparedness and why we need to start talking about the reality of the future before we’re right in the middle of it.

Mini-Rant: Abolish 🧊

I believe that no human is illegal. I believe that everyone has the right to migrate in the hopes of finding a better life, better opportunities, and safety for themselves and their families.

Feeling Nostalgic AF

In this episode, I’m feeling nostalgic AF. The world feels loud, chaotic, and constantly on edge, so I find myself missing the early 2000s. A time when life felt simpler, joy came easier, and I was truly living my best life. Consider this a soft rewind to a version of the world that felt a little more… normal.
