Fall budgeting thoughts along with tips for getting in the correct mindset before Christmas holidays
Late-night phone banter with my partner 🍷— we’re talking about male groupies who show up at concerts, shove women aside just to get closer, and totally kill the vibe. Or… is that a sexist double standard? 🤔 Do men have the right to be groupies too? Tune in for laughs, hot takes, and cheecky POV.
TThoughts is back! After a little break (and a 10K walk), I’ve got a lot to catch up on. In this episode, I’m talking about the Canada election results, a wild gift card scam, the ongoing child support debate, and why the real estate market isn’t hitting like it used to. Plus, my thoughts on DEI backlash, Trump’s move on international students, and McGill’s $45M shortfall. Quick takes, real talk — you already know the vibe.
