The Good Life...Unfortunately — Episode 5: The Good Life After Dark

The wedding is over, the chickens have been dispatched, and Halloween is upon us. In this episode, I'm embracing the spooky season with favourite Halloween traditions, seasonal comforts, and a movie watchlist for every level of October exhaustion — from campy cult classics to gothic horror and the Halloween favourites that keep our inner child alive.

Plus, a little life update, a return to the glory days of 90s birthday parties, and some thoughts on slowing down, taking care of ourselves, and preparing for the darker half of the year.

Light the candles, make something cozy, and settle in. The veil is thinning, the nights are getting longer, and we’re finding a little magic in the dark.

Because sometimes, the good life is a little spooky.

The candles are lit, the lights are low, and we’re getting into the Halloween spirit.

This week, we’re looking at three unforgettable women from some of my favourite Halloween and horror films: Debbie Jellinsky, Madeline Ashton, and Selina Kyle.

What does the Good Life look like when you’re willing to chase beauty, wealth, revenge, immortality, or reinvention at any cost?

From homicidal housewives to immortal divas and women discovering their power, we’re exploring what these iconic characters wanted — and what happens when getting the life you think you want comes with a price.

Because sometimes the Good Life is a little bit beautiful, a little bit terrifying… and unfortunately, never quite that simple.

We need to talk.

It’s not you. It’s me. Actually… it’s Toronto.

In this episode, I discuss my breakup with the city, the life I’d built there, and the version of myself I’d become along the way. What started as a search for “the good life” eventually became a decision to leave it all behind and start over in the country.

Plus, we get into the pop culture that makes fall feel like fall — my favourite autumn music, Thanksgiving movies, and all the cozy seasonal nostalgia that comes with them.

A little goodbye. A little identity crisis. And one very big leap into the unknown.

There’s something about fall that makes you want to get your shit together.

In this episode of The Good Life...Unfortunately, we talk about the magic of a seasonal reset — getting back into routines, clearing out the clutter, making home feel a little cozier, and figuring out what actually deserves your time and energy as the days get shorter.

But this isn’t about becoming a new person by Monday. It’s about slowing down, taking stock, letting go of what isn’t working, and making a little more room for the good stuff.

A little fall cleaning. A little existential crisis. A lot of coffee.

Consider this your permission slip to reset — imperfectly.

Episode 1: So, What Is This?

Welcome to The Good Life...Unfortunately. In the very first episode, let's gets into the messy, funny, occasionally existential reality behind the idea of “the good life.”

We’re talking country life, motherhood, pop culture, creativity, the things that make life wonderful—and all the little things that make you wonder what the hell you were thinking.

Because life can be beautiful, ridiculous, exhausting, and completely imperfect… sometimes all before lunch.

So, what is this? Well… you’re about to find out.
