Building Community & The Fun Club

In this episode, we dive into what it really means to build community in an age where so many of us feel increasingly disconnected. From the “friendship recession” and growing loneliness among adults to the rise of real-world connection apps and clubs, we explore why building intentional communities matters more than ever.

I also share the story behind Fun Club - how it started, what inspired it, and how small, consistent acts of coming together can make a big difference in how we feel and who we become. We’ll talk about what makes a true community work, how to create one around shared values and joy, and what it means to actually participate rather than just show up.

If you’ve ever felt like it’s hard to find community, this episode is for you.

Freezing My Eggs, Part 1: What the Process Is Really Like

So, I froze my eggs! In this episode, I walk you through my full, personal experience—from what led me to start the process to how it all actually felt, physically and emotionally. I cover everything from how elective egg freezing works, what to expect with injections and appointments, and the retrieval procedure, to how I navigated insurance, scheduling, and self-managing the whole thing.

You’re More Than a Hashtag

In this episode, we dive into the viral rise of the "softlife" and "tradwife" aesthetics—and what they reveal about the current state of modern womanhood. Why are so many women embracing rest, romance, and traditional roles just a few years after the "girl boss" era told them they could (and should) do it all?

We explore whether this cultural shift is a form of empowerment, a backlash to burnout, or simply another way society tells women who they should be.

This episode challenges the binary thinking that often dominates the conversation around femininity—and makes space for complexity, nuance, and individual choice. Because maybe the real goal isn't to pick a side, but to define success, softness, and strength on our own terms.
