Episode 41

Join Camilla and I while we are in the car to a Festival in Sweden to see our love, Zara Larsson <3 She is beauty, she is grace, she is Sweden´s best thang <3

So apologies for the sound but enjoy it as a very AUTHENTIC conversation. .

In this episode, I’m joined by Camilla to talk about the emotional rollercoaster of hot-and-cold dating behavior.

We share our own experiences with overthinking, mixed signals, and the anxiety that comes when someone suddenly pulls away.

We discuss why it’s important to stop guessing, look at someone’s actions, communicate directly when you need clarity, and trust your gut when the effort isn’t mutual.

Ultimately, our advice is simple: know your worth, set boundaries, and don’t settle for breadcrumbs.

But like many things in life, easier said than done...

Episode 40

In this episode, I reflect on whether it’s ethical to bring children into the world.

Growing up as a refugee in a single-parent household shaped the way I see parenthood. I witnessed firsthand how difficult it can be to raise children without financial stability, emotional support, or a wider community to rely on. For me, becoming a parent is inseparable from having a loving, dependable partner and creating a safe and stable home.

I question the pressure many of us feel to have children, and whether we truly understand the lifelong responsibility that comes with bringing another human being into the world.

Using Passengers (2016) as an ethical metaphor, I ask: is it fair to bring someone into a world filled with pain, inequality, uncertainty, and suffering when they never had a say in being here?

And yet, this isn’t an episode about not loving children. I do. I believe I could be a loving and caring mother—but only if I can give a child the security, support, stability, and love every child deserves.

Because perhaps the question isn’t simply, “Do you want children?”

Maybe it’s: “Can you give a child the life they deserve?”

Episode 39

Some love stories don’t end when the relationship ends, they keep echoing across years, cities, and versions of yourself. I with my longtime friend Steffie unpack the unforgettable New York romance that started on a cheap Chinatown bus, turned into a whirlwind of cab rides, late-night texting, and secret-door dates, and still shapes how they think about love today.

What begins as a funny travel memory turns into a deeply personal conversation about attraction, timing, and the kind of connection you only recognize in hindsight. I revisit the guy who changed my idea of courtship forever, while Steff, the friend who witnessed it all from day one, adds the outside perspective that makes the story hit even harder.

You’ll hear about:

• The chaotic $100 Chinatown bus trip from New York to Washington, Buffalo, Philadelphia, and Niagara Falls
• The unexpected lobby phone call that brought the “right” guys down from the bus
• The instant chemistry, banter, and age-gap tension that made everything feel like a movie
• Why the romance felt so magical in New York, and why it became painful later
• The hard-earned lesson about not living in fantasy, not overcorrecting in dating, and not judging your younger self too harshly

I also reflect on how this story inspired my writing, including my upcoming New York love story, We’ll Always Have New York.

Steff brings the grounded, supportive perspective of a true friend who saw the connection unfold in real time and still believes in what it meant.

If you love romantic real-life stories, “how did this even happen?” moments, or honest reflections on love after heartbreak, this episode will pull you in fast. It’s warm, funny, messy, and painfully relatable, the kind of conversation that reminds you why some memories never really leave you.
