What if the biggest lie women were sold isn’t “have it all” but “you can have it all at the same time”?

This week, I had the pleasure of talking with my new friend, Kate Zepernick. She’s a Georgia Tech grad, former consulting high-achiever, and now a mom who’s lived the full arc. Full-time grind, “part-time” that wasn’t really part-time, strategic role changes, and eventually choosing to step away without losing herself.

We talk about the stuff most women don’t like to say out loud, like why one kid feels hard but two kids changes everything, why the daycare conversation makes people so defensive, and why high-achieving women wait for permission to choose their families. We also get honest about what it feels like to lose the praise and identity that come with work, why the gray area between full-time work and staying home is real and underused, and the uncomfortable truth that many families don’t actually have real choice anymore.

This conversation is for the woman who is tired, conflicted, quietly resentful of her job, but also scared of who she’ll be without it. If this conversation makes you feel seen and a little called out, good. That usually means you’re finally being honest with yourself.

This is another solo episode, and it’s an honest one.

I start this week by revisiting Landman and the questions it stirred up for me around femininity, ambition, marriage, tone, and what happens when success rewards dominance but home requires something entirely different.

I talk openly about my own career in a male-dominated industry, how being praised for control and competitiveness shaped the way I showed up in my marriage, and the toll that mindset took on my family.

Then I shift to something heavier: the Epstein files, my involvement with Epstein Justice, and why confronting corruption, abuse, and power structures comes at a real psychological cost. This part is about power. Who has it, how it’s protected, and why justice so often feels out of reach.

This isn’t a manifesto or a solution set. It’s a reckoning with culture, ambition, morality, and the limits of what we can fix ourselves.

If you’re exhausted by shallow takes and want a raw, uncomfortable, honest conversation, this is for you.

This week on Being Different, it’s just me and a TV show I didn’t expect to mess with my head the way it did.

My husband and I started watching Landman, and I found myself annoyed, intrigued, defensive, and—eventually—forced to look at myself. The way women are portrayed. The roles men and women fall into. The things we’re allowed to say out loud… and the things we’re definitely not.

I talk through what the show made me question about femininity, marriage, effort, and something I’ve been pushed on for years but resisted until recently: tone. Not changing what I say, but how I say it, especially at home.

There’s also a controversial college dorm storyline that hit on exactly where I think our culture is breaking down, and one moment in particular that surprised me in the best way.

I don’t agree with everything the show is saying. But I do think it’s asking questions we’ve stopped letting ourselves ask. And this episode is me thinking through those questions in real time.

If you’re left, right, feminist, not feminist, or just exhausted by the noise—this one’s probably going to hit a nerve.
