How much should we actually care what other people think?

In Episode 4 of No Good Answer, I talk about the opinions that shape us—from family and friends to complete strangers—and how easy it is to change ourselves just to fit in.

At what point does listening to other people become letting them decide who we are?

Why do we keep stuff we know we’re never going to use?

In Episode 3 of No Good Answer, I take on one of life’s great mysteries: junk drawers, mystery cables, empty boxes, clothes we haven’t worn in years, and that one random object we keep because “I might need it someday.”

Will someday ever come? Probably not.

Will I throw any of it away? Also probably not.

When did we stop calling our friends just to talk?

In Episode 2 of No Good Answer, I look back at the days of random phone calls, long conversations about nothing, and how texting and social media changed the way we stay connected.

Are we actually closer now—or just better at keeping up with each other?

Life gives us questions. Let’s talk about them anyway.

In the first episode of No Good Answer, I’m asking a question I’ve wondered about more times than I can count:

Are we actually supposed to have this figured out by now?

I talk about adulthood, expectations, comparing ourselves to other people, and the strange realization that maybe everyone else is just winging it too.

I don’t have the answer.

That’s kind of the point.

Your turn: Do you feel like you have life figured out? When did you realize everyone else might be making it up as they go?
