Voice Note: The limits of "willpower"

Hey!Technically, this episode is a followup to my essay on Sunday—some thoughts on mess, some thoughts on the limits of willpower to change your life (feat. a story from my and Avi’s recent hotel stay). Spiritually, it’s a sequel to my last Voice Note “Are You in a Rush?” in that I’m basically just spiraling on mic for a while. Some may say I’m taking the “unpolished” descriptor of the Voice Notes franchise too far, and they may be right…Thank you for listening!Haley Thank you for subscribing.

Dear Danny: Can we discuss my friend's selfie face?

Hey!Welcome back to Dear Danny. Today we’ve got seven questions: On an unfortunate selfie face (obviously we talk about this for like 30 minutes), an ill-conceived butt slap, a semantic in-law problem, a fear-of-authoritarianism relationship gap, a nose-picking coworker, a friend fully ignoring another friend’s pregnancy, and a married neighbor who won’t stop hitting on our question asker. Great questions as always!Some important photographic evidence of Danny’s much-discussed new haircut:Thanks for listening!Haley Thank you for subscribing. Leave a comment or share this episode.

Dear Danny: How do I make peace with marrying the wrong guy?

Hey!Welcome back to Dear Danny. Today we chit chat for a loooong time then answer six reader questions. We discuss:* a meet-cute-gone-wrong (when she finds his Instagram)* how much a woman can expect her husband to change his lifestyle when they’re trying to get pregnant (and his semen analysis was so-so)* whether it’s gauche to invite yourself to social events* what to do when you’re several years into a relationship and trying to make peace with your doubts (rather than leave)* what to do when a friend gives you a bad poem to hang on your wall* and how to manage vastly different sex drives in a relationship.Amazing questions as always! And a reminder that the link/number to ask your own is at the bottom of every Maybe Baby email.Thanks for listening!Haley Thank you for subscribing. Leave a comment or share this episode.

Voice Note: Are you in a rush?

Hey!Today I bring you a loopy voice note about a turn of phrase that’s become a staple in our house and which I think applies to a variety of circumstance from high stakes to low. It concerns how to handle being in a hurry (literally, abstractly). I’m being vague because I’m trying not to spoil it!Thank you for your precious 14 minutes,Haley Thank you for subscribing.

Dear Danny: I think my ex is writing songs about me!

Hey!Welcome back to Dear Danny, we’ve got seven questions today: about a haunting ex who also happens to be a musician, an intoxicating (and maybe mutual?) office crush, a mid-breakup financial disagreement, a depressed boyfriends leaving emotional bruises in his wake, a separated husband who’s not sure if he should sleep with other women, and a stoner with a petty grievance. Amazing group as always.Thanks for your questions and thanks for listening!!Haley Thank you for subscribing. Leave a comment or share this episode.
