In this episode we chat with Blanca, a wedding venue owner, photographer, and self-described “collector of love stories." Blanca shares how the show arrived during a period of empty-nest sadness, political exhaustion, and uncertainty. We discuss parenting, allyship, queer joy, burnout, and the question of what it means to find happiness in difficult times. We explore the idea that joy is not an escape from the world but a way to survive it.

*Unfortunately, by the time this episode airs, Blanca had to cancel the party due to concerns over ICE presence in her area.
