This Is Where We Are

#58 - When Your Boss Needs a Boss

My mom and I share stories about our experiences working with both good and bad managers. Drawing from her career as a pharmacist in large and small organizations and my experiences in corporate America, we explore the art of managing up. It's a candid conversation about workplace dynamics, adaptability, and keeping your sanity while getting the job done.

#57 - Keep The Wise Woman Alive

Are we building real relationships, or just trading content back and forth and calling it connection? In this episode, we question the way we consume and share information in a world flooded with content. So much of what we see and learn comes from people who haven’t fully lived it yet, and an entire generation is being shaped by that. This episode is a reminder to keep the “wise woman” alive, to value depth over noise, and real perspective over recycled ideas. And maybe, just maybe, we’re not as far gone as it feels… because until sports are played by robots, there’s still something real left.

#56 - There Is No Safe Path

After a two month break, we’re back, and there was a lot to catch up on. In this episode, my mom and I talk about how there really is no “safe” path anymore. Staying in a job you hate isn’t security, but leaving doesn’t come with guarantees either. With more tools, technology, and access than ever before, build something that feeds energy back to you and create something you want to see in the world. Now is the time.

#55 - Friction-Maxxing

Description: “In a world obsessed with speed and AI-ing everything, we take a look at a popular 2026 counter-culture trend to add friction back into our lives, and why resisting convenience might be the most human thing we can do to keep us alive! Inspired by two posts: @nymag on Instagram: "In 2026, we are Friction-Maxxing" and @audieoffmic "Does making everything easier actually make it better? " Produced by Silver Bullet Media Created by Jaynanne Sheehan and Mary Sheehan Song by Ariel McCleary Recorded in front of a live studio audience who did not attend tonight's live show

#54 - Weaponized Incompetence & the Real Reason You Can't Work From Home

My mom brought to my attention that she has never heard of "weaponized incompetence," even though she has probably experienced it every day. In this episode, we share examples and give our take on this psych-culture phrase that has us all wondering if it's even worth getting up in the morning.
