Episode 24: The Week That Felt Like Everything

This episode reflects on a 25th high school reunion invite and how social media has reshaped connection, blending nostalgia with a heavy, emotional week marked by missed plans, medication struggles, and everyday frustrations. Through it all, there’s an honest look at loneliness, guilt, and finding unexpected support—even in unlikely places—balanced by hopeful stories, including a breakthrough turning plastic waste into Parkinson’s treatment and how Tommy Tutone’s iconic song helped inspire a cancer support helpline, reminding us that meaning can show up where we least expect it.

In this episode, I talk about surviving workplace layoffs and somehow becoming the new payroll guy because I’m the only one who knows how to use a computer. Plus, how I need to start looking for Broadway tickets because Megan Thee Stallion is making her debut, latest cooking updates, break down this year’s Academy Awards and why they’re actually called the Oscars.

It’s my birthday—and apparently Mercury is in retrograde, which may or may not explain the chaos. I’m unpacking what that actually means, spiraling (a little) about the possibility of war with Iran, and sharing wild strategy tips from a Monopoly world champion. Plus, how do you even sign up for that? Astrology, anxiety, and Boardwalk in one birthday episode.

This week, I unpack getting diagnosed with depression — and the fun plot twist where my doctor keeps disappearing like it’s a medical soap opera. I also discuss my ongoing battle with learning Spanish (my brain said “no hablo functioning”) and go down a hopeful little rabbit hole about a possible cure for colds and coughs. It’s honest, a bit chaotic, and proof that healing — and rolling your R’s — is a journey.

This week I’m breaking down the Super Bowl esperience from the food, to the commercials, the halftime show (yes, I have thoughts), and the lost bets that had me yelling at the TV. I also talk about how I survived Valentine’s Day with my dignity mostly intact, and we take a minute to show love to Brad Arnold of 3 Doors Down and James Van Der Beek from Dawson's Creek. It’s laughs, frustration, and a little heart all in one episode.

In this episode, I unpack the controversy swirling around Bad Bunny, jump into my latest attempt at discovering my cooking talents, and discuss the shocking story involving Savannah Guthrie’s mom that’s been making headlines. Pop culture, personal chaos, and serious news — all in one conversation.

I absolutely hate the snow, endured yet another round of car chaos, marveled at a guy who somehow hit a hole-in-one with one arm, and took a moment to honor the incomparable Catherine O’Hara. Snow sucks, cars fail, miracles happen and Moira Rose, Let’s talk.

In this episode, we have our first returning guest host. Together we share our personal thoughts on religion, questioning how true it feels to us and why some belief systems have faded over time. From there, the conversation naturally shifts to the political and civil unrest in the country, as we reflect on how belief, power, and uncertainty intersect in the world around us.

This episode is all about good news and good vibes. We’re shining a light on stories that inspire hope, from the Walk for Peace to animals making their way off endangered lists, and the people of Gander showing just how powerful kindness can be. It’s a feel-good conversation about what’s possible when individuals—and entire communities—step up and lead with heart.
