Daddy Recovery Session: To Pity Or Not Pity
To my dad, pity was love, which is why he loved it when people pitied… it meant they cared and also forgot to ask him if it was reciprocal. Yet, I found the quality annoying on him.

A Year of Not Trying…. To Punch A Stylist

Daddy Recovery Session: EP5- The Charm of Cancel Culture
Part of why I feared doing Daddy Recovery was that all my life my dad was defined by his almost god-like charisma, and I never felt charming enough to make my truth valuable or even believable by others. I was always so raw, sweet, and honest, but even with 3 more virtues than my dad…

Daddy Recovery EP3: Mint Is The Flavor of The Poor
When I was a child, I hated the flavor mint. Apparently, it is a rite of passage for children to genuinely believe mint tastes like toothpaste. In truth, it is a very adult flavor: often, appreciated as life chips away at the freshness of circumstances, which makes you look for it in an ice cream…
