I am truly and deeply exhausted, bone tired, a dead husk of my former self. This year has been…well, you’ve all been there.

So having conversations with friends who get it, and give you what they can because they want to see you thrive, is a gift.

Restoration comes one shining moment at a time.

Hey girl, normalize NOT starting every sentence with “I’m sorry”

The backlash I'm seeing to the color of the year is exciting because everyone seems to be choosing shades of green instead.

The color of plants, of growth, of renewal.

Dig in.

A white woman dressed in white on a white platform strikes a pose with her face towards a cloud filled sky. The text reads Color of the Year 2026 Cloud Dancer.

Pantone chose a cold white for their 2026 color of the year. A “blank canvas” lol.

This is the signal to go out and be as LOUD and as COLORFUL as possible.

Let’s paint the damn canvas in OUR colors then!!

¡Pa’lante!

In 2026, I'm going to strive to be the type of person who closes all their internet tabs when they're done using them, and never has more than 2 internet windows open at the same time.

I was ACCEPTED.

WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK?? The word of the year for 2026 just became AUDACITY. 🥳

I'm posting this so I can come back to it periodically when doubt starts creeping back in.

Last week, I applied to a program I was woefully underqualified for, but I decided to channel the audacity of your typical mediocre white man.

I just found out…

We're not having a traditional Thanksgiving this year so we’re planning a private Sides-giving. What are your favorite sides?

Current menu:
- Green bean casserole (making my own roux)
- a cranberry, feta, and roasted butternut squash
- brown butter bourbon pecan pie
- mac & cheese balls with bacon

Selfish Bitch? Nah Babe, It's Called Childfree Boundaries - La Vida Más Chévere de Childfree Latinas Ep #89 - Tired of being called selfish just because you know yourself well enough to not have kids? Anyone who dares to flout social conventions is typically labeled rebellious. But opt out of th...

I love pyramid sets to death. The last few sets feel soooo much lighter than when you started. Like a reward 🤩

Awesome! Please say hi!!

Any Bluesky #podcasters going to PME in Chicago? I’ll be there! Looking forward to our panel discussion “Rooted in Community” with Sasha Willis, Michelle Jackson, and Mónika Aldarondo!!

I’m an unapologetic audio-first podcaster. I don’t want to produce a zoom call as a video, and I have zero desire to be a YouTuber (been there, done that). So if you’re into listening while your eyes are busy (or however the saying goes), come along.

There’s a new ep out today

My guess: zero.

Yes I’m actually speaking this year, so very excited. Glad you enjoyed Podfest!

#81 - Tom Brady Sucks at His Job - La Vida Más Chévere de Childfree Latinas What can we learn from Tom Brady, a rich white guy with 7 Super Bowl rings, aka the GOAT of football?First of all, despite what you may have heard, he's not perfect. Surprisingly, he's been underestim...

Was Tom Brady’s Super Bowl commentary better or the same as during the season?

Even though I produced “Tom Brady Sucks at His Job,” I’d say he got a little better!

He’s no Kdot, but none of us are

Fun!! Are you going to Podcast Movement Evolutions by chance?

Any adults here whose parents divorced deep into your adulthood? Like after 40+ years together?

How did you navigate it?

Yeah at the Stone Brewery garden (whatever it’s called at the old Navy yard).

Yes the SD beer scene is tops! Part of the reason we got married there

Fuck it. Where are the beer drinking enthusiasts? I want to tell someone about the Belgian quad I’m drinking so I don’t have to think about the dumpster fire for a long minute

Is anyone surprised that the attacker in Sweden was a neofascist?

When are we going to wake up&treat domestic terrorism from neofascists the same as Islamic terrorists?

If an imam called for terror in a mosque, he'd have the police at his door.

So should the damn fascisr podcasters
&politicos.

- successfully designing a life outside of the "life script"
- first-gen/eldest daughter struggles
- perfectionism & imposter syndrome
- what it's like to be a childfree Latina (especially in this current environment)

If any of that interests you, send me a DM!

Since I'm teaching a workshop on how to pitch guests for your podcast, figured I'd pitch myself for YOUR podcast or speaking event. Here are some topics I can dazzle your audience with:

The Papua New Guinea Courier is in rare form.

Forget football squares, how long do we thing FOTUS will sit through Sunday’s game?

I say he bolts immediately after the inevitable boos

I drink a bitter vehicle for cream and sugar.
