So incredibly proud (and sometimes a little envious!) of my better half, Dan Duane, and his perfect second act as a psychotherapist. He's seeing clients in Hayes Valley or online and also coaching creative people on getting unstuck and reaching their dreams. www.danielduanetherapy.com

“There are thousands of people like Lyle and Erik who don’t have the celebrity, don’t have the personality, and don’t have the good fortune of supportive family, to lift their case up.”

Truly could not be prouder of my bff Mike Romano. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/21/u...
