Hold On To Memories
Grief changes the volume on everything. A normal week can turn quiet and heavy fast, especially when loss hits close to home and when public figures who shaped our memories are suddenly gone. So we slow down and sit in that space together, with...

Sonic Temple Hype And A 1995 Song About Staying Here

What If Reinvention Is A Small Death
I hit a milestone with the show, and it pushed me to talk about something I don’t think we name clearly enough: giving up. Not the lazy kind. I mean the quiet moment where you stop trying to keep a version of yourself alive because it’s what yo...
