But I found a new song today and I remembered how that can pull you to into an entirely different headspace and can actually plug you into the world and yourself more.

My 13yo has been listening to a lot of music lately on his headphones, which has kind of been annoying/concerning me. (ie is he cutting himself off from us and the world?)

It's weird: I listen to music all day but sometimes I forget to seek out new music. I forget how a new song or a new playlist can lift you up and completely change your mood or your day.

Embodied WUNC @embodiedwunc.bsky.social · 12/01/2026

Ready to get in the #WinterOlympics state of mind? Our newest episode features a conversation with former competitive figure skating siblings Brad and @jocelynjanecox.bsky.social who tell Anita about their 11 years of competing and how their partnership continued into adulthood.

Promotional graphic for "Embodied" podcast featuring guests Jocelyn Cox and Brad Cox against a starry blue background with geometric shapes. Shows Jocelyn Cox, described as "Author of 'Motion Dazzle: A Memoir of Motherhood, Loss, and Skating on Thin Ice'" - a woman with glasses and pulled-back hair smiling in front of what appears to be an ice rink; Brad Cox, described as "Figure skating coach" - a man with short gray hair wearing a black shirt smiling in front of an ice rink; and Anita Rao, "Host & Creator of Embodied" wearing glasses and a black blazer in a radio studio. Text at bottom reads "Click the link in bio to tune into How Competitive Figure Skating Shaped A Sibling Relationship."

One tiny moment from the brilliant memoir MOTION DAZZLE: A Memoir of Motherhood, Loss, and Skating on Thin Ice by @jocelynjanecox.bsky.social. Out September 30 from Vine Leaves Press.

It's not that Bruce Willis' wife Emma hired full time care for him in a separate space (they have the means to do this); it's that ALL caregivers in this country should have the access to professional help in a safe environment when the health needs escalate beyond a manageable capacity.

The freedom for so many people to have so many guns with so few regulations sure is making me feel unsafe.

I was feeling pretty good during the audiobook recording of my memoir until I came to two lines I needed to…sing.

AOC: Being taken is wrong, it is illegal, it is a violation of his First Amendment rights, it is an affront to every American, and we will not allow—and will continue to resist—the politicization and the continued political persecution that ICE is engaged in.

Do you mean that the AI is going to be a dead end or the jobs themselves are gonna be dead ends? I think AI has its limitations and always will but it's gonna replace a lot of humans in a lot of fields with a whole lot of mediocrity.

jocelynjanecox.bsky.social @jocelynjanecox.bsky.social · 06/06/2025

yes, that does seem safe. Although as a former figure skating coach, I can see how tech is playing a new role in the realm of coaching and teaching these kinds of activities. I don't think to the point of replacing coaches/teachers yet, but who knows
