A deeply unserious investigation into hard choices, accidental adulthood and all the beautiful mistakes we keep making. It's about my mom obviously. It's about hovering on the edge of parenthood like it's an ice cold swimming pool, wondering if I should jump in or just applaud from a distance. It's about becoming a "grown-up" and realising that involves decisions you can't undo. In this second hour from Canada's greatest export since Celine Dion, there will be overthinking, undermining and several elegant spirals disguised as life plans.
