True Crime and the Mandela Baby

Send a message to the pod!

We bounce from an undisclosed last-minute work trip to the everyday realities of sleep debt, screen time and what it feels like to be “on” all the time. Then we dig into true crime discourse, postpartum mental health, and listener questions about infertility support and the pressure of deciding whether to have another child. 

This week we talk:

• why reading lines on camera feels unnatural even when conversation feels easy 
• sleep guilt, health consequences and the screen time receipts 
• Lindsay Clancy case, postpartum depression and postpartum psychosis, and why “having help” misses the point 
• how online theories turn uncertainty into certainty and why that can get unhealthy fast 
• the first class upgrade glitch and why travel can wreck sleep 
• hosting friends, stocked-fridge hospitality and the ambivert question 
• word of the week and why we hate small talk 
• infertility and friendship, asking directly for support without sounding accusatory 
• deciding on one child versus another, timing postpartum and the emotional baggage we bring to the choice
