Everything is Fine

"Marshmallow Brain"

Season 1, Ep. 87

Jenn calls it marshmallow brain, Kim says it's like her brain is full of whipped cream — what we're thinking about in January as we enter close to year three of the pandemic, namely, "The Artist's Way," productivity hacks, and how to schedule a balanced life. Plus: West Elm Caleb, the hell of dating apps, men who date (much) younger women, and the unbearable lightness of being and liking "And Just Like That..."
