Summary

In this solo episode, I share where I’m at emotionally, what I’ve been loving, and what I miss about NYC two and a half weeks into suburban living. I talk about how our basement and backyard have truly been game changers for our family, how I did *not* get my shit together with furniture for the new house, and how I feel generally calmer in the suburbs versus the city. I also discuss the features in the house that I love (hello double vanity), things I’m still getting used to (hidden homeownership costs), and things I truly miss about the city (visiting friends and yes, the convenience of trash rooms.)

Key Takeaway / Points:

How the basement and backyard have been game changers for our family
On not getting my shit together with furniture
On feeling generally calmer in the suburbs vs. the city
On the joy of the double vanity in the bathroom
Things I’m still getting used to around the house
The hidden costs of homeownership
Liam’s recent sleep regression
Things I miss: the ease of seeing city friends and…a trash room

0:00.0	The following podcast is a deer media production.
0:02.8	All right, friends. Let's chat suburb and living.
0:05.6	I have talked about this a lot on Instagram of like things I'm loving, things I miss,
0:12.1	what my mental state is at lately. And I just want to take this episode to do like a life lately,
0:19.1	I guess, dump. I don't have it in me to get deep and emotional and do like one of those therapeutic
0:26.3	episodes. I just am not there right now. So we're going to have a more just catch up episode.
0:31.6	And I honestly would like to know your guys feedback. So feel free to DM me. And yes,
0:36.5	I'll get into my story applies being off right now. I was having this conversation with a friend
0:40.5	of mine who also is a podcast host and we were chatting about where we're feeling drawn to right now
0:45.6	in terms of content. And I had interviewed someone that I was really excited to have. And then when
0:49.9	I left, I was like, was that even a good interview? Did we have any meaningful conversation? Did I
0:54.0	ask good questions? Blah, blah, blah. And it's this pressure that I put on myself and as
1:00.0	as this other host that like everything has to be meaningful and impactful and all this stuff.
1:04.8	When sometimes it's nice to just fucking talk and have no purpose and just chit chat. And I

1:18.7	But more conversational, not as deep just like having fun. They make me giggle. And I'm curious
1:27.1	what you guys enjoy more of. Do you want to listen to a show that's like, oh, this is just fun.
1:31.7	I'm hearing two people talk that are like my friends. Or are you like, I want to listen to an episode
1:36.2	that leaves me feeling like I have advice or some form of tangible information to like help with
1:46.3	something you're going through. Because I think what I try to do is a mix. But I'm also just
1:51.7	curious what you guys enjoy more just for context. Okay. So anyway, this episode is just going to be
