Just a full-on LIFE UPDATE EPISODE detailing the BTS of securing our long-term lease in Barcelona, a status report on the cottage Airbnb launch, and everything we’re focusing on for the week before we officially relocate to Europe! ENJOYYYY.

XANTHE’S MOM IS ON THE PODCAST!!! We cover:

• Her career journey from pregnant college student to CEO of a major healthcare organization

• How she balanced being a present single parent, healing herself, and making ends meet

• Living below the poverty line and resourcing community as “her village”

• Our family dynamic of loving roasts, self-awareness, and intellectual intimacy

• Her experience as an artist whose relationship to creativity has evolved over decades

• Being the parent of an entrepreneur and how she really feels about all the risks we take

And so, so SO much more.

Sue Phipps is the CEO of Hamilton’s Canadian Mental Health Association. You can learn more about their work here.

UMMM WTF — THIS IS OUR 50TH EPISODE!! We didn’t do anything special for it but you will be graced with a chat that goes in every possible direction which honestly feels like the BEST way to celebrate. We cover:

• Frank’s birthday weekend recap! Ft. pregnancy smut fetishes

• Being ~perceived~ in a tiny town and the rumours we’re hearing about… ourselves

• How we’re managing coming up $75K short on our pre-move money goal

• Being in our “no goals” era and letting our Spain chapter surprise us

• How to find your way in a new city by following what feels good without expectation

• The collective decline in BOOK READING (for which we blame TikTok, obviously)
