What I’m loving right now isn’t dramatic or lofty (although I did use the word "glorious at multiple points in this episode 🙃). It’s practical, pleasurable, stabilizing, and unexpectedly dignifying. I share the everyday self-care practices, tools, and choices that are genuinely working for me right now—from mental health support and money decisions to music and embodiment—and why noticing these small loves can be one of the most honest forms of self-respect. No sponsorships. No agenda. Just real experience, real enjoyment, and a grounded reminder that the point of life is to enjoy it. This is my heaven on earth lately.

Here's 7 things I cover in this episode:

  1. The Finch app and how care, rewards, play, and inner-child support help with my executive dysfunction, especially when goals feel hard or mundane (Btw, my friend code is CNLPF24ZLY. Add me!). I also share tips from Atomic Habits to make the most of this app. 
  2. The Teledipity app and why predictions done right are grounding rather than hope pandering
  3. Pleasure and embodiment through nail polish, nourishment of protein, and seeing tangible results, especially as a vegetarian
  4. Olivia Dean as the musical embodiment of my word of the year—love—and why I don’t completely hate the algorithm
  5. Spotify audiobooks and subscriptions as real value for money, while holding the tension of not wanting to support the company anymore
  6. Mature self-care with money through Capital One CDs and choosing ease over financial overwhelm
  7. The dignity of competent, heart-open care, and why I’ll drive hours for a vet who truly shows up
