Soh It Goes

Reflecting on 2 years of active duty, living in AZ, and generally being wonderfully happy. Alternate title: "Icing on the Cake..." :) Soh grateful.

May 31, 2025 - my 24th birthday! Some of my thoughts and many mixed feelings as I "level up" one more year :)

Sometimes our "normal"s today are what we could only dream of yesterday, and will only be able to look back on tomorrow... SOH: here's to embracing the mundane. :) Recorded 2.6.25

Coming to you from my car, here is a lo-fi reflection on my (kind of) new job I started a few weeks ago. The main takeaway is how nice is it to have experience - it makes all the difference! Done in one take... if you can believe it. :0

In this episode I discuss how I've never fit in with people my age, and instead very contentedly have the old soul/lifestyle of a senior citizen. Does that make me wise beyond my years, or just a loser??? Who knows... and Soh it goes. :)

Welcoming 2025 with Episode 100!!! Today I look back on my Top 5 favorite episodes so far, and also (on a more sad note) discuss possibly 'breaking up' with the podcast. But that conversation is to be continued. Things just change sometimes. Soh it goes... Happy New Year :)

Everything about my life is so different today than it was a year ago-- and all for the better. Thus I present to you: "Time Heals", Round 2! (As it turns out, I've used this episode title before, way back when I first started the podcast :)) I wonder if you can relate. Enjoy! And hang in there because "this too shall pass..."

I love my job... should I quit? Trying to find the balance between staying in a secure job vs leaving in pursuit of a "dream job"... does that even really exist, though?! -- Lyrics to Risk This? (the original song I played at the end of the episode): I’m terrified Don’t know what I’m Doing with my life All I know Is I could do this forever I could sit here and never Be dissatisfied And I simultane...

We are back in session! In this episode I gush about how truly happy I am these days... and how bad I feel about that. Doesn't happiness feel like a guilty pleasure sometimes??? Thanks for listening.

Cliche, but perhaps for a reason-- "never say never!" Sometimes time & effort are the only things standing between us and the things we never thought we could be, do, or accomplish. Who knows?... surprise yourself. :)

My middle school teacher’s wedding… the global Microsoft server outage… $$$ spent, yet priceless relationships earned… this was my beautiful weekend trip to New Jersey. Dedicated to Ms. Sander. :) Instagram: @SohItGoes

What if the personality traits, imperfections, and insecurities we feel self-conscious about are actually someone's favorite thing about us? This one is dedicated to my older friends, and especially Laurie! Instagram: @SohItGoes

Keeping with Episode 93’s theme of loneliness, here is a song I wrote last year— called “sleepless”— in Seattle. ;) I’m starting to think this will never end I’m starting to lose gravitation I’m starting to wonder if you never did wonder if I could ever be patient… And in dreams I go home “Only to no home I’ve ever known” I wonder— if I leave, I wonder if anybody would miss me IG: @SohItGoes (podc...

...Not really, but also yes. Some honest thoughts/feelings recently on being so surrounded yet so lonely at the same time. Instagram: @SohItGoes

BONUS CONTENT… this is the song I performed in the open mic mentioned in last episode! Written/recorded in 2022. You would always walk all over me Take a good thing and make it bad I used to chalk it off as reality But why should I have to say that? My tongue’s on fire, it’s life and death My lungs are tired, you're every breath Needless to say, We are done I hope you Grow up someday Into some...

What going to my first open mic-- and performing my own original songs-- taught me about comfort zones. Spoiler: they're worth stepping out of. :) Even when you have to stop yourself halfway thru the song because you froze... IG | @SohItGoes

What my birthday-- and a video of Travis Kelce-- taught me about adding fun to your days to break up the monotony. Enjoy! IG: @SohItGoes

This week's "audio postcard": my trip back to Seattle! Reunions, graduations, strange anxiety to be back, redemptive memories made, and realizations of how much I miss having close friends around... overall, an insightful-- and really lovely-- trip. Thanks for listening :) IG: @SohItGoes

When you're feeling unaccomplished/unworthy, think of yourself from an outsider's point of view... even if that "outsider" is just a past version of you! See yourself in 3rd-person. :) Instagram: @SohItGoes

Why is it so tempting sometimes to lean into depression, sadness, angst, the victim mentality, etc?!... in this episode I discuss my journey to get away from my emotional masochism/"strange addiction" to sadness. Thanks for listening-- I hope you can't relate (but if you do, maybe this will help). Instagram: @SohItGoes

Embrace your past decisions-- no matter how uninformed or cringe they may be-- because they brought you to where you are today. They're kind of like episodes in a TV show (more on that here)! Shoutout Only Murders In the Building :) Instagram: @SohItGoes

(Finally reunited with my mic!)... this week's episode is on the beauty of leaving a personal touch in the things you do-- no matter how small. Enjoy! Instagram: @SohItGoes

From a Thursday night in my kitchen making berries & cream cake... here is my overly thought-out audio guide on how to be a good host (and guest)!!! Instagram: @SohItGoes

Coming to you from my patio: a very (very...) lo-fi episode where I reflect on the month I just spent in Mississippi for job training. Biggest takeaway: give people/places/things a chance. You never know how much you'll love it. :-) Instagram: @SohItGoes

To be “personable” is to be affable, warm, easy to get along with, charismatic, etc etc etc… in this episode, I share my best tips for how to be all this & more. I'm super passionate about this. I hope you enjoy! Instagram: @SohItGoes
