Always Last on the List

Always Last on the List

She pours into everyone around her — her husband, her kids, the people she loves — and she does it because that’s just who she is. But she is exhausted. And the guilt that shows up every time she tries to take something for herself stops her before she even starts. This week Anita answers the question so many women are carrying: how do you make time for yourself without feeling like you’re taking something away from everyone else?

Dad Logic

It is not wrong exactly. It is just — its own thing. This week, in honor of Father’s Day, Anita answers the question every woman who has ever lived with a dad is secretly asking: is Dad Logic a universal phenomenon — or is it just my house? Spoiler: it is not just your house. From the man who “made dinner” to the dog who now sleeps in the bed because someone couldn’t handle two nights of sad eyes — this one is for every dad who has ever taken care of his people in the most dad way possible.

Biting My Tongue Until It Bleeds

She raised her kids. She figured it out. She survived it. And now she watches her daughter complain about exhaustion while sleeping in — and bites her tongue so hard she can taste it. She said something once. It did not go well. This week Anita answers the question every mother of adult children is asking: when is it okay to say something — and when do you just let them figure it out the hard way?

Do Boundaries Count for Everyone?

She made a homemade lasagna. She cleaned the whole house. And then nobody showed up — no call, no apology, just a last-minute text saying she went somewhere else. Oh, and she tried to take the mutual friend with her. This week Anita answers the question that comes up in every family eventually: do boundaries actually apply to the people who are supposed to love you most? Have a question you want Anita to answer?

Comfort Is My Fashion

Someone wrote in to ask if she’s lost her mind — or finally found herself. She lives in stretchy pants, slip-on shoes, and an oversized top, and she has never been happier. Her family thinks she’s given up. Her friends give her a hard time about it. But she thinks she’s arrived somewhere. This week Anita answers the question nobody wants to say out loud: is dressing for comfort a defeat — or is it the most honest thing you can do for yourself? Have a question you want Anita to answer?
