Once you find out that most of the universe is made up of things we can’t see—and that scientists can see the effects of something they still can’t fully explain—it opens a door your brain may not be prepared to walk through.

So naturally, I walked through it.

This episode starts with dark matter and somehow ends up where Better Moody usually does: somewhere between science, life, curiosity, and me wondering what else is right in front of us that we don’t fully understand.

I don’t have the answers. I just have significantly more questions now.

After watching “Dark Matter”, I started thinking about all the lives we could have lived—and wondering where I went in the one I actually chose. This is an unfiltered conversation about loneliness, motherhood, responsibility, mortality, wanting more from life, and sometimes just wanting somebody else to take over long enough for me to have some tea time.

We’ve watched Masters of the Universe an absolutely unreasonable number of times—and somehow, I’m completely okay with it. Somewhere between my toddler yelling about “the power,” Duncan admitting “Teela, I failed,” childhood PE trauma, Skeletor apparently being called “Daddy,” and my completely unnecessary research into the actors, I started wondering: what are our kids actually absorbing from the things they watch over and over?

From a hospital room after my daughter’s successful scoliosis surgery, I’m talking about parenting, motherhood, sacrifice, and the incredible reward of raising children. Kids cost us time, sleep, money and comfort—but what are we really saving all that time for anyway?

As promised, here’s two whole minutes of one super-confident little kid reminding us all, “I got dis.” If you’re ever feeling like you can’t do something, just play this a few times. By the end, you might start believing it too.

Because sometimes, we all need a little Camden confidence.

Tonight, I’m winding down with Savannah and Camden as we try (and mostly fail) to go to bed. What starts as a normal bedtime turns into one tangent after another—Camden’s bedtime rebellion, homemade oxtail, pickled eggs, Cocaine Bear, mama bears, cannibalism (kind of), and whatever else our sleep-deprived brains decide to chase.

A late-night family conversation about procrastination, PT test nerves, Skeletor, The Odyssey, and why sometimes you just have to hit record anyway. Time for sushi.

After months of fighting, two denials, two appeals, and one very determined mom, TRICARE finally gave Vannah the best birthday gift she could ask for.

In this episode, I talk about what happens when you’ve given 252%, finally let go, and a very heavy piece of paper changes everything.
