This Is EZ With Friends

This is EZ - Life Updates & Shit

My plan was to record this episode and save it for the archives, but I really wanted to betray my own trust, so I'm releasing it. What kind of sick person does that? Me, that's who. It's artsy and demure AF. Do I speak in southern accents sometimes? Maybe. But that's what artists do, okay babe? They art. Buzz words include - falling off wagons, thinking about hopping on new wagons, collaborating, being lazy, asking the hard questions, eating like a pig, learning to stop eating like a pig, and I said balls once. If this sounds like your cup of tea, pour it up and press play! <3

This is EZ - Not Drinking

I’m back on my bullshit with another solo episode. This one is about my decision to stop drinking a month ago. Trigger warning: I cry in the episode. Couldn’t help myself. Had a lot of feelings while talking about what led up to this decision and how it has impacted the way I see myself and my life. Don’t worry. I’m not trying to convince you to stop. I’m just documenting this time, and the wave of emotions that came with it.  As per usual, I’m excited to share a little bit of my story in the hopes that it might resonate with some or all of you. Wishing you a happy day, a happy week, a happy month, a happy rest of the year. I have a few more episodes coming your way before I wrap this thing up for the year. Press play!

This is EZ with Kim - Our Toxic Traits

If you’re a day one listener of TIEZWF, you remember my first ever episode with my bestie Kim on the topic of toxic relationships. I would encourage you to go back and listen, but the truth is that it’s cringeworthy. We both listened to it a while after we recorded it and felt so embarrassed by our lack of self-awareness. We’ve been apologizing off-mic ever since, but we’re back to say we’re sorry and we’re not perfect.  We go real deep in this episode about our toxic traits. We’re just letting y’all know that we had no business talking about our ex-partners as if our sh*t don’t stink. It’s easily one of my favorite episodes ever. We laughed, we successfully avoided crying, and we made promises to work on the not-so-great qualities that we haven’t quite conquered yet.  It’s funny and, hopefully, relatable to some or all of you. Please enjoy this extremely vulnerable episode. Press play!

This is EZ with Jen & Deb - Real Estate Chat

Jen Mejan and Deborah Danhof came highly recommended by several people that I love and trust. Ralph and I were shopping for homes at the height of the COVID real estate bubble, and we had just about given up on homeownership. We went through several different agents that were unresponsive, sometimes flaky, and seemingly out for themselves. We understood that it was a business transaction, but we also wanted to work with someone who understood that buying a home is an emotional process as well. It’s stressful, and for us, it was brand new.  They helped us find a home that was perfect for us, answered all of our questions, and negotiated a killer deal during an unprecedented time in which folks were being outbid by hundreds of thousands of dollars for homes that didn’t seem worth what people were paying.  One of the lessons I learned during the home buying process was that I should have done my homework a lot sooner. I could have bought a home YEARS before I actually did, but I lacked the resources and the know-how.  I bring you an episode that is as fun as it is informative. You had questions, I asked them, and I got your answers! I even got answers to the questions you didn’t ask, such as “do you have any favorite real estate stories.” I got chills hearing about a haunted house situation, and you probably will too.  It’s a great episode. It was so much fun to record. I’ll admit that I don’t feel optimistic about the current state of the real estate market, but I still think it’s possible to get educated on what you can afford and figure out where you’ll need to go to land that house you’ve always wanted.  What are you doing still reading this? Go press play!

This is EZ with Miguel P2 - A Collection of Tangents

Miguel and I have the gift of gab. We recorded for almost three hours and the conversations were just too good for me to leave in the archives. I started editing this episode weeks ago. If you saw my story last week, you know my hard drive crashed and all my progress was lost. I had to fight the urge to throw my laptop out the window, and here we are. I mustered up the energy to start over. This episode is a collection of tangents separated by cheesy piano clips. It’s called art, look it up. Conversations are fire, bro. Topics include, but are not limited to: friend breakups, how to handle people who disagree with us, complex relationships with our parents, mansplaining, personal growth, controlling rage, and a bunch of other random shit that you definitely need to hear. Do yourself a favor and press play.
