  Ep 253: How to save money on groceries when everything is expensive

  Sep 29, 202641 min

  Groceries are expensive, eating out is expensive, and somehow the advice for spending less on food is still “make a list.” Meanwhile, feeding yourself has gotten weirdly strategic these days. Between higher prices, smaller packages, busy schedules, food waste, and recalls, the smartest grocery strategy is simply getting better at buying for the life you actually live. So in this episode, we’re sharing 5 questions to ask before you even head to the grocery store so you can spend less, waste less, and make eating at home feel a whole lot easier. We get into: Why shopping hungry changes what “enough” looks like The pantry food you already paid for and why whatever keeps getting left behind is useful feedback How your freezer quietly becomes a graveyard for food waste Why a $20 frozen lasagna can be a better financial decision than buying all the ingredients from scratch What actually deserves “staple” status in your house How to build different levels of cooking into your routine so the only choices aren’t “make a whole meal” or “order $100 worth of takeout” And the bonus question we probably all need to start asking before we toss something in the cart: is this currently recalled?

  Episode #252

  Ep 252: What we argued about after the accident (life update part 2)

  Sep 15, 202654 min

  Part 1 was Julien’s version of what happened, this is the part where I get to talk lol. Because apparently, one of the side effects of a family emergency is finding out exactly what you disagree about when everybody’s tired, somebody’s in pain, and your normal division of labor has completely fallen apart. The injury may have been his, but the emergency affected all 3 of us, which meant we all had to adjust…and that’s where the conflict started. So instead of giving you a neat list of lessons from the last 5 months, we’re talking about what we actually argued about: whether expensive medical aids count as needs how much you can still expect from somebody who can’t walk what happens when their usual problems suddenly become YOUR problems how much pain and chaos your kid should have to see why “helping” can start to feel a lot like controlling and how a 9 year old watching his dad recover somehow became much better at roasting him Most of these weren’t really arguments about the thing we were arguing about. They were arguments about capacity, control, care, and what happens when the way your family normally works suddenly doesn’t. Turns out, “in sickness and in health” leaves out a lot of details..

  Episode #251

  Ep 251: I spent the last 5 months learning how to walk again (Part 1)

  Sep 9, 202632 min

  We’re back! We’ve been gone for months, and a lot of you have asked where we’ve been. The answer starts with a freak accident at Beau’s baseball practice, but that’s only the beginning. What followed was surgery, months without being able to walk, a crash course in pain management, caregiving, muscle loss, mental health, and learning the limits of “for better or worse.” Julien starts with his side of the story here. Kiersten joins him in Part 2. In this solo episode, he shares: what happened the day of the accident and why getting his pain under control was more complicated than expected how a problem with his IV changed his experience in the hospital what it felt like to suddenly depend on other people for everyday things how quickly his body changed after weeks of limited mobility what he learned about managing strong prescription pain medication during recovery the mental health side of recovery that he completely underestimated what it meant for Kiersten to become his caregiver while still holding everything else down why community support became such an important part of getting through it how different a medical emergency feels when you have the financial room to stop and heal what using an HSA during a real medical emergency taught him that years of talking about HSAs never could This wasn’t the break we planned to take, but it gave us plenty to come back and talk about.

  Ep 250: The problem with hearing “AI” and assuming your career is over

  Mar 31, 202639 min

  This week, we’re talking about what’s really going on in the AI layoff era, and why the way you interpret that moment matters almost as much as the layoff itself. If all you hear is “a robot replaced me,” it’s easy to spiral, panic pivot, and start solving the wrong problem. But if you know how to read the room, you can make smarter decisions about your career, your money, and where to go from here. Losing a job is already disruptive enough. The last thing you need is to turn it into a full-blown crisis about your worth. If this episode hit home, leave a review, share it with somebody who needs it, and subscribe so you don’t miss the next one. In this episode, we cover: Why “because AI” doesn’t always mean a robot directly replaced your job The 3 different things companies might mean when they blame AI How to tell the difference between an actual workflow change and plain old cost-cutting Why panic pivoting can get expensive fast What to look at first if you’ve been laid off Why becoming AI-capable matters more than becoming an “AI expert” How to reposition your experience without throwing away your strengths Why “AI-first” language doesn’t always mean your job or industry is cooked Why layoffs hit your identity so hard, and how to stop making it worse Connect with Julien and Kiersten on our website , Instagram , Twitter , and YouTube .
