rooted

it’s been over a year since my last podcast episode and I’m back now, baby! allow me to reintroduce myself. consider this a “proof of life” episode. there’s a lot more to come.

conflict resolution is such an underrated skill to have. this episode is lesson one from someone who was once called a specialist (me).

I’m living through what I’ll look back on as the worst time in my life, and I owe it to Popsy to mourn him the way I loved him - loudly and through my art.

we all define romance differently but some things about it are true, and the first universal truth is that it really is the thought that counts.

there’s something to be said about second-chance romances, but there’s also something to be said about why they appeal to me so much. of course, my experience of my parent’s relationship played a hand but, more than anything, the media I consumed as a child contributed hugely to what I understand about love. let’s get into it.

in this episode, we talk about a universal truth I’ve always known but didn’t fully understand.

more than anything, this episode is a quick ‘thank you’ to all of you.

in this episode, we’ll be discussing how understanding abundance has changed how I approach ends & beginnings. it took me some time but I get it now.

in this episode, I speak candidly about where my decisions not to have kids and not to get married stem from.

in this episode, I’m reflecting on how life-altering my experience of platonic love has been. this is an ode to my tribe.

in this episode, we talk of the emotions that aren’t always given the time of day - jealousy & anger.

in this episode, we’re talking about boundaries and some of what comes with setting and enforcing them.
