You've Gotten Too Good at Defending "Later" What If You Defended the Dream Instead? You have an idea parking lot. We all do. The podcast episodes, the novels, the 2am mini courses, the business ideas that seemed urgent and then got quietly filed under later. This week we're talking about the long accumulation of later and the thing most of us have gotten very good at without realizing it. We…
Do you wake up every morning to a mental to-do list that's already running before your eyes are even open? You're not alone, and in this episode, we're calling it what it is: the horrible hologram. In this episode, you'll hear about: The "horrible hologram" the mental to-do list that haunts you before you've even gotten out of bed Why adding to your list (instead of taking things off) might be the…
Feeling the pull toward pumpkin spice before summer's even over? This week on the Maison Gueton podcast, we're slowing down and savoring what's left of summer with the Brainy and Bougie Scavenger Hunt, a four-week challenge to help you become a tourist in your own life, no vacation required. In this episode, you'll learn how to: Resist the urge to rush into fall and instead savor the last weeks of…
Pull up a chair. It's 1951. The linen is crisp, the coffee is strong, and you and I have nowhere to be for at least an hour. This episode is inspired by Part 3 of The Misadventures of Madame J: Chortler on a Train, and three things it made me think about for all of us. Three stylish missions this week: Eat one meal alone. Unhurried. No phone. Order exactly what you want. Slow down for five minutes…
Chortler on a Train, No. 1 is live on Substack today. This episode is the companion to it. Madame J notices what people wear because what people wear is information. She was a spy. That kind of attention doesn't retire just because the war ended. This week I talk about: What Madame J sees when she opens that curtain and looks at the dead man across the aisle Why I built her eye for style into the…
She's Here. Almost. This episode is about what a story can do that an essay cannot. I have spent years writing essays about formidable women. About refusing smallness. About taking up space without apology. I meant every word of every one of them I have been sitting on this long enough. Madame J arrives Tuesday June 2nd on Substack. Five installments. Every Tuesday. Free to read. Connect:…
Where Do You Want to Be? This week I talk about the very human experience of looking for your reflection in someone else's record of the night, what I actually found when I looked, and the distinction that changed everything for me: I wasn't missing from the night. I was missing from the record of the night. Those are two different things. This week I talk about: The event, the Instagram carousel,…
This week I want to introduce you to a woman you haven't met yet. And before I tell you about Madame J, I have to tell you about Elle. Elle was my imaginary friend when I was eight. A 1920s movie star with a jet black bob, cupid bow lips, and apartments in Paris, Hollywood, and New York City. Whenever I opened the imaginary door to her apartment I never knew which city I'd land in. Sometimes I…
This week we're continuing our A Collection of Lovely Things series with a theme of Blue: Hopes, Dreams & Aspirations, and this week's room is a little different. The Blue room has comfy couches, table space, journals, notebooks, whiteboards. It's a space for dreaming. And more importantly, it's a space with a microphone in the center because this week we're talking about something rarely…
