Empowerment is defined as the power given to someone to do something.
Which means by definition, we're always waiting.
I don't think that's right.
This week's episode of Moments of Reckoning has a lot going on and we are not apologizing for any of it.
We asked whether alcohol actually adds value to your life — or takes it away. Honest conversation, no easy answers, and yes we grapple with the fact that for some people it's not a fun debate at all.
🙏 Chris prays every night. She just doesn't know who to. I'm an atheist who also prays. To no one. We argued about this for a while.
📱 Android users are turning group chats green and missing brunch invitations. This is a real problem and we have thoughts.
🥂 And then there's the story of how I signed up for a PhD program after a few glasses of champagne in France — with five days until class started and no time to chicken out.
That last one is the Moment of Reckoning. And it might be exactly what someone needs to hear today.

This episode kicks off Moments of Reckoning with a story that’s equal parts entertaining and uncomfortable—a delayed international flight, a very poorly timed gummy, and two people trying to hold it together while completely out of control.
But underneath the chaos is something deeper.
This is about what happens when you step outside your comfort zone and lose the illusion of control. It’s about fear, vulnerability, and the moments where you have to decide: do you lean in… or shut down?
Because a reckoning isn’t the crisis—it’s the moment right before it. The moment where you know… and now you have to choose.
And sometimes, the most ridiculous experiences are the ones that show you exactly who you are.
