The dangers of future-tripping (Encore episode) May 11, 2023

Show notes

Cheers to the present! We will never be able to tell the future, so why spend the energy worrying about it? In this episode of Thick & Thin, my goal is to stop wasting my time trying to control the narrative, but sometimes the anticipatory anxiety and endless what-ifs, win.

Forbidden Fruit (Encore episode) Apr 20, 2023

Show notes

We all hate being told what to do. It's a tale as old as time. So in this episode of Thick & Thin, I try to discover why. Why is it human nature to crave what we can't have? Is it for thrills? For power? For knowledge? Or perhaps, all of the above.

Upside down Mar 23, 2023

Everything can be misunderstood –– even sea anemones. In this episode of Thick & Thin, we see how a change in perspective can lead to newfound truths and discoveries; and how maybe not everything we learned from our history textbooks is true.
