Note 2 Self

Society EN ↓ 61 episodes

This is Saskia, and this is Note 2 Self — your weekly dose of everything that’s simply too long to text. Consider this your personal invitation into my inner circle, where I share my thoughts and quiet reflections that usually live inside my notes app. Each week I explore modern life through conversations about relationships, culture, mental health, identity, and the stories that shape how we see ourselves and the world around us. Part personal journal, part cultural commentary, Note 2 Self is a space for honest reflection, thoughtful conversation, and the occasional pop culture deep dive.

We wrap it all up with another r...

The girls wrap up discussing the things they’ve liked for the sake...

Are we trad wives now? Questioning Australia’s existence, and what it means to be a West Village girl 12.06.2025

In today’s episode of Note 2 Self , Saskia and Cat explore a few trad wife activities they’re surprisingly open to—think weekend markets and romantic picnics.

Real Monsters and The OC , and a breakdown of The Cut’s recent article, “It Must Be Nice to Be a W...
