Politics and Pop Culture

Welcome to my corner of the internet, where pop culture meets politics, higher education gets called out, and Gen-X energy reigns supreme.

I’m Kris — an educator, podcaster, Gallup Global Strengths Coach, and unapologetically opinionated Gen-X woman who has spent 30+ years inside the messy, dramatic world of higher education. I knit while I rant, I coach people into better jobs and happier lives, and I have Thoughts™ about everything from campus politics to pop-culture icons to the state of American adulthood.

If you’re craving thoughtful takes, spicy commentary, culture analysis, and higher-ed truth bombs delivered with humor and heart… pull up a chair. You’re in the right place.
