I truly have no words. This performance made me cry, smile, and dance (and I’ve watched it at least 100 times).

In this episode, I break down the symbolism behind Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio’s powerful halftime show, with insight inspired by an article from OUT Magazine (linked below).

Growth doesn’t always look gentle. Most of the time it means stepping outside your comfort zone, unlearning old patterns, setting boundaries, and walking away from relationships that no longer align with you. Let's get into it! xo

Resources mentioned in this episode:

• Human Rights group NAACP, which is urging Congress to reject any new funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), citing serious harm, lack of accountability, and the fear these enforcement practices create in communities.
• Grassroots group called Minnesota 50501. This is a volunteer-led organization focused on defending democracy and supporting people-powered organizing. Donations help them coordinate safe events and protests, provide supplies and communication tools, support accessibility and transportation, and respond quickly when communities need support. Donate here.
• Call this number (202-224-3121) to call the representative in your state and request they block future ICE funding.
• 5calls.org - They’re the team that makes advocacy accessible, making it easy for you to reach your members of Congress and make your voice heard. All you have to do is call.

Thank you for listening, and remember to take care of yourself <3

For this episode, I was inspired by my recent trip home to Ontario and Dan Saks’ book Families Can, I’m thinking about the families we see—and the ones we don’t. I reflect on the queer families we saw on screen (or didn’t) while growing up in the 90s and early 2000s, and how that lack of representation shaped what I imagined was possible as a queer woman.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! ✨

In this episode, I explore the numerology of 2026 and why it’s considered a powerful Year 1, marking the start of a new nine-year cycle. I break down what this energy means collectively, compare 2025 vs 2026, and share my own personal year numerology to show how these shifts play out in real life. I hope you enjoy xx
