Everyone has a nemesis. The difference is whether they’re honest about it.

In this episode, I unpack what a nemesis actually is, where they come from, how to identify yours, and why having one isn’t the moral failing people pretend it is. Consider this a reframing of rivalry—as motivation, not madness.

I once said I could never be tricked into joining a cult. And then Heated Rivalry happened.

In this episode, I talk about how a hockey romance took over my brain, why I joined the Heated Rivalry cult willingly, and why I refuse to unpack it any further. From unhinged obsession to extremely questionable metaphors, this is what happens when you let yourself enjoy something too much.

No regrets. No apologies. No notes.

I decided to start a podcast. Really, it’s more like a personal journal—one I’ve decided not to keep to myself.

In this first episode, I introduce myself, talk about why this podcast exists, and share what you can expect from Hold That Thought.

Welcome to my brain. Buckle up.
