AfterMASH
In elementary school, a silly game called MASH laid out our lives for us, answering society’s most desired questions: who will we marry, what kind of house will we live in, and how many kids will we have?Maybe you were like us, and you survived the suburban-kid-to-college…

Hobbyamory, bridal culture, and why Zoe’s wedding almost didn’t happen (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Jackie and I sit down to talk about what has been our most requested episode: weddings. Parting from my typical book report (and hopefully saying goodbye to that format entirely, for my own sanity), we let the capitalism of it be and just chat about weddings. We start with a recently published article from the New York Times, For Some Singles, ‘Hobbyamory’ Has Replaced Hookups by Sadiba Hasan because it is the spider graph of this podcast that leads to weddings in the center. From there, we talk
What's the big deal with GLP-1s? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If I say “miracle drug” what comes to mind for you?

Among the roll-call of podcasters was Shannon McNamara of FluentlyForward. So it is a DREAM to get to interview her here, and she is as lovely as she seems on her socials. In this conversation, we take it from the beginning to the end: her upbringing, the midlife crisis of Shannon’s twenties that brought us FluentlyForward, and what her life looks l
Stress, Burnout, and Learning to Listen to Your Body (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Nothing like pulling out a handful of hair in the shower to wake you up to the fact that you've been effing stressed lately. Oops. The bad news: my hair is now 20% less voluminous than it was before. The good news: we got excellent fodder for a deep dive into a topic that I believe we will all benefit from learning more about. Thank you for your sacrifice, 20% of my hair. In this episode, we discuss: - Defining some terms: wouldn’t be a Jackie episode if we didn’t get real technical about the di
