Worthy of Note

hey girl hey, i know it’s been 4 months and no i don’t wanna talk about it 😭 but i actually do in this episode as always. this eppy is brought to you by an undisclosed number of biscoff ice cream bars and a very exhausted woman on the verge of collapse, but still, we prevail. i’ve got a few things to say about suzanne collins’ frankly frightening ability to make me cry, how crusty america is righ...

happy new year folks! this may be a little late but as you’ll learn in the eppy there’s a good reason 🤧 i wanted to take this time to talk about how the “new year, new me!” phrase that has appeared in the cultural zeitgeist this time every year since 2011 has a ring of truth to it. along the way, we’ll dabble in a little post-2024 reflection, set our guiding words for this year, and motivate ours...

these are my thoughts. feel your feelings, treat yourself with kindness, and know that we’ll get through this together 💙 TIME STAMPS: 00:00 - my initial reaction 02:33 - the motivating power of anger 08:21 - thoughts on cutting people off over “politics” (aka morals) 11:41 - black women: now we rest 15:00 - reminder that good things still exist podcast instagram: @worthyofnotepod lauryn’s Instagr...

this love is blind reunion had me boiling. throw the whole season away. in the meantime, let’s talk about the state and ultimate future of our world being decided in one day by the American people in a group project that has an equal chance of pass or fail. y’all doin’ alright out there? stay safe and perhaps my silly little musings will keep you company during a truly unprecedented time. let’s ge...

hi hi, i know it’s been forever but i’m back on the mic to discuss something that’s been cooking in my noggin for a really long time: campus ministries and their uncanny commonalities with pyramid schemes & MLMs. you may be thinking, “huh?? explain yourself gorl” and i will! after this episode you’ll have a very hard time spotting the difference between these highly complex (and often problematic)...

we’re so back this week with a tonally lopsided episode about a gloriously horny period piece and how hard it is to unpack religious/familial trauma. it’s a wild ride so step into the carriage if you’re feelin’ frisky n’ risky!! TIME STAMPS: 00:00 - HAPPY PRIDE!!! 01:39 - i BURN for bridgerton XD 16:09 - thoughts on my deconstruction journey 37:37 - being bi-curious & exploring my sexuality 44:26...

this week, cicadas are on my hit list and i don’t wanna talk about it (though i do for several minutes). we also have a pretty heavy discussion about how Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker’s truly disappointing cow dung graduation speech says a lot about the man vs. bear discourse, and finish things off with a man who ended his 9-month relationship because his girlfriend wants a big wedding...

welcome to season 2 of Worthy of Note!! i may have taken an unintentional sabbatical for a multitude of reasons (all of which you’ll hear about in today’s episode) but I’M BACK FOLKS and i’m super excited. in today’s returning episode, we discuss how i knew it was time to get a new job, love life thoughts & developments, and whether being late to a date is the same as standing someone up (spoiler:...

i’m back!! these past couple of weeks have been entirely TOO busy. i actually recorded this in time for last Saturday but simply didn’t have a chance to post it until now. but to make up for it, i’m coming through with an episode for all my hopeless romantic girlies out there. before we hop into it, i have a very much needed discussion on musical-to-movie adaptations and how they’re wreaking havoc...

we’re back this week with truly one of my favorite episodes to date. in this installment, I discuss how quality therapy can be effective to the point of daily tears, how completely bonkers the Netflix reality tv show love is blind can be (and how i will still be watching season 6), and of worthiest note: a definitive ranking of common romance tropes. this is my greatest contribution to society. le...

this week we get a lil’ deep, with talks of the recent rise in ozempification, tinder being truly outta pocket yet admittedly ingenious, etsy warming me to the depths of my soul with just an email, and why crying is a lost art. i’ve got alotta thoughts on this one so have a seat (or don’t, idk your life) and let’s get into it!! TIME STAMPS 00:00 - intro 02:13 - i (we all) need to cry more 05:49 -...

i’m afraid i have taken ill and shan’t improve for at least half a fortnight, BUT i was still able to record this episode before my voice became completely incoherent codswallop. this week, we chat about menstrual mayhem, coworker confidants (or lack thereof), and figuring out what i like to do as a freshly minted post-graduate. don’t forget the AITA story about conflicting morals regarding a fat...

oh yeah, this is the one for my folks who remember who what when where why and how they were when the hunger games dropped down to earth to become the most iconically influential piece of media to ever change pop culture as we know it. today, the odds are in all of your favors because i’m giving you a deep dive into my thoughts, feelings, and experiences regarding the hunger games franchise in its...

this week, on a very non-descript, could-literally-be-a-random-day-in-early-march day, i talk about my reignited devotion to platonic love, my guiding words for the new year, and a recent epiphany i had about the quality of a person who’s a bad friend, complete with a topical AITA post that has me feeling conflicted (to say the least). i have a lotta thoughts on this one, so let’s get into it!! TI...

GAHHH i can’t believe i’ve finally started this podcast!! i’m beyond excited to embark on this new creative chapter, and am even more excited to share it with you. this episode is short n’ sweet—wellll maybe not the latter, because we’re reading our very first “am i the asshole” Reddit post featuring a wedding guest with questionable loyalties. if you wanna hear my thoughts, give this one a listen...
