درباره این اپیزود
I spent a lot of years trying to grow up.
Trying to move on. Trying to reinvent myself. Trying to become the version of me that had it all figured out.
But the older I got, the more I realized the stories I was trying hardest to outgrow were the ones still shaping everything.
Like We Were Never Kids is a narrative podcast and original music series where I tell those stories out loud.
Across four decades, twenty episodes, and twenty original songs, I’m going back through childhood, grief, family, trauma, ambition, caregiving, first dreams, big losses, Nashville years, Michigan years, and all the moments that made me who I am — whether I wanted them to or not.
Some episodes are heavy. Some are funny. Some are uncomfortable. Most are all three.
Along the way, you’ll meet my family, hear the people who helped raise me, sit in basement conversations, listen to original songs written for each story, and hopefully remember pieces of your own life too.
Because this isn’t really about nostalgia.
It’s about recognition.
And maybe if we stop pretending we were never kids, we can finally understand the adults we became.
I’ll go first.
