Welcome to Mostly Me, Occasionally Wise — a podcast about growing up, growing older, and figuring it out as we go.

If you grew up in the 80s or 90s and now find yourself raising kids in the WiFi era, you’re in the right place.

We talk nostalgia, modern parenting, marriage, work-from-home life, and the occasional unpopular opinion (yes, E.T. is overrated… and Die Hard is not a Christmas movie).

🎙️ New episodes drop every Wednesday.

Hit follow and let’s figure this out together.

At some point… it happens.

You say something…
and immediately realize—

“Wow… I sound just like my parents.”

In Episode 10 of Mostly Me, Occasionally Wise, we’re diving into the phrases we swore we’d never say… but now say all the time.

From the classics like:
“We have food at home”
“Because I said so”
“Money doesn’t grow on trees”

…to the ones nobody prepares you for:
“Don’t eat that”
“Why is that wet?!”
“Roll the window down!”

This episode is funny, chaotic, and way too relatable—but underneath it all, it’s about something deeper.

Because those phrases?
They’re not just random.

They’re passed down.
They’re learned.
And somehow… they start to make sense.

If you’ve ever caught yourself sounding like your parents—or wondered how you got here—this one’s for you.

Some conversations don’t happen out loud…

They happen in our heads.

We rehearse them.
We replay them.
We tell ourselves we’ll say something… eventually.

But we don’t.

In this episode, we’re talking about the conversations we avoid—
with our spouse, our kids… and even ourselves.

Not because we don’t care…
but because we don’t know how they’re going to go.

I share real-life moments from home, the hesitation we all feel, and how the things we don’t say don’t just disappear—they turn into distance.

Distance in relationships.
Distance in connection.
Distance in ourselves.

The truth is, most of these conversations aren’t as bad as we think…

But starting them?

That’s the hard part.

If you’ve ever said “I’m fine”… when you weren’t,
or put off saying something that mattered…

This one’s for you.
