from Sticky Note Conversations · host Erika Washington
What starts as a lighthearted catch-up between host Erika Washington and the shows editor, Wil Black quickly turns into one of the most honest conversations yet. Erika recounts an unsettling encounter she witnessed at a Las Vegas hotel — a young hostess being harassed by an older male guest — and unpacks the discomfort, complicity, and responsibility that come with bystanding. From there, the two dive deep into the messy, tender work of parenting adult children: Wil reflects on his daughter's wedding and the complicated feelings it stirred up about fatherhood and forgiveness, while Erika opens up about the push-and-pull of trying to build friendships with kids who are becoming their own people. The conversation winds through dating apps, communication styles, and the different ways love gets shown and received — landing, as always, on real talk about growth, grace, and showing up for the people we love.(00:00) - Introduction (01:24) - Catching Up with Erika (04:13) - The Hostess Harassment Story (23:42) - Speaking Up and Protecting Others (23:48) - Wil's Daughter's Wedding (32:38) - Navigating Adult Children (53:05) - Dating Apps and Finding Love (01:00:41) - Closing Thoughts
