Episode Details

Jeff sits down with Drea from Alabama for a fresh round of Mistyping—and what starts as casual catch-up (football fandom, life with a five-year-old, and the chaos of caregiving) turns into a layered conversation about responsibility, control, justice, and self-criticism.

Drea shares her story: born and raised in Alabama, married nearly five years, mom to Porter, and currently balancing work as an air compliance specialist with caregiving for her mom, who’s living with early-onset Alzheimer’s with dementia.

Along the way, she opens up about finishing her master’s in environmental management, her growing awareness of environmental justice, and what it means to “take up space”—especially after postpartum struggles and a desire to create supportive community for other women.
