Welcome to the very first episode of Running Notes: a voice note experiment within Decks and Diapers where I think out loud about things echoing through my mind.
There's no editing here. I know that's pretty contrarian in a world of highly produced, carefully polished podcasts.
But think of these less as episodes and More Thought Bubbles that have been floating around my head and now have found their way into your ear, just me talking into a voice note and hitting upload.
Going forward, you can find Running Notes wherever you listen to podcasts. If you’d like to listen along, feel free to subscribe on YouTube, Spotify, or Apple Podcasts.
Since this is the first episode, I wanted to make sure you knew it existed but I promise to spare your inbox after this. Running Notes will just quietly show up wherever you already listen.
For my regular readers — I would love your feedback. What works, what doesn’t, and what would you like to see me do in this space? You’ve been the most important part of building Decks and Diapers..

In this first episode, I go back to the very beginning.
Why does Decks and Diapers exist? Who was it created for? And what do I hope it becomes?
I talk about why I finally stopped waiting for the perfect moment to launch this podcast, the gap in content that made me start writing in the first place, and the deeply personal reason I keep showing up to do this work, in my non-existent free time!
If you're new here, Decks and Diapers is a newsletter about work, parenting, and all the messy, beautiful intersections in between. Running Notes is where I think out loud about all of it.
If you enjoy this, the best thing you can do is invite a friend to subscribe. And if that feels like too much — liking or leaving a comment helps others find it.
