Old Lady Podcast Ep. 20: Sanity Plan

The One About Memorials, Unread Books, and Creative Distraction
2

Old Lady Podcast, Episode 20: Filmed June 10, 2025

In this tender and slightly chaotic episode, I share the stack of books I’m not reading, because sometimes the right book is just wrong for right now. I also dish about the ones I'm excited to crack open (today!), reveal my latest game obsession that’s keeping me just barely tethered to sanity, and offer some gentle thoughts on how to stay grounded when the world is doing its absolute best to terrify us with my podcast recommendations. Plus, I open up about the emotional whirlwind of attending a memorial, and the emotional hangover that ensued..

Sweet, silly, and a little raw—just the way we like it.
