Welcome to Hot Takes and Applesauce—where pop culture meets politics, and being single and childfree isn’t just a status, it’s a lens.
Every week, I bring you sharp, thoughtful recommendations on what to watch, read, and listen to—because what we consume matters. From the latest TV obsession to the must-read book of the moment, I dive into pop culture with both enthusiasm and critique, spotlighting the stories that shape how we see ourselves and the world.
But this isn’t just about entertainment. It’s about the bigger picture—the way culture and politics intertwine, especially through the lens of living an independent, solo life. We talk about impact, joy, identity, and why Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is the undisputed greatest Christmas movie of all time.
This newsletter is also the best way to stay connected to my podcast, Choose the Bear, where I go deeper into what it means to live a joyful single and/or childfree life with authors, experts, and pop culture figures.
So if you love a good book, a binge-worthy show, and an unapologetic take on politics, culture, and life without kids—you’re in the right place.
