As the year winds down, many of us feel the weight of burnout, grief, and the emotional toll of the world’s noise. In this episode, Thanks for Visiting hosts Lex & Kati explore the role of healthy escapism — the small, intentional pauses that let our minds breathe and our bodies reset. They talk about why stepping away isn’t avoidance, but nourishment, and how gentle escapes can help us return to life with clarity, steadiness, and a fuller heart.

What does it really take to be a good writer? In this episode, we sit down with author, screenwriter, and celebrity roast writer Mike Smith to talk about creativity, discipline, and what writing really requires. Mike shares his honest take: most of writing isn’t magic — it’s about showing up and writing.

Listen in as Mike shares stories from his fascinating writing journey and as we explore personality types, inner monologues, and how deep self-awareness can shape both our anxiety and our art.

Join us for a thoughtful, wide-ranging conversation about the discipline, mindset, and curiosity behind great writing.

What does it really mean to forgive— and what doesn’t it mean? In this heartfelt conversation, I sit down with my mom to explore the true meaning of forgiveness. We talk about the idea of taking account of the emotional debt owed to us, how forgiveness doesn’t mean condoning harm or forgetting, and how it can be a powerful act of emotional freedom. Whether you’re navigating the pain of past wounds or learning to let go, this episode invites you to rethink forgiveness—not as a weakness, but as a deeply courageous act of liberation.
