  • Voice Memo: What stability looks like at 27 - spoiler: it’s still chaotic

    This episode is a 25-minute ramble about what stability means when you’re no longer chasing what the world calls “secure.” I talk about growing up, redefining stability, and learning to make peace with change, the kind of change that’s constant, uncomfortable, but somehow grounding.


    It’s about the shift from wanting life to be stable to feeling aligned. From 23 to 27, growth has been less about building a perfect structure and more about finding rhythm in the mess and choosing peace that feels real over order that looks good.

  • Voice Memo: Religion, God, the Universe and Existence

    I saw a post by @purplehelena on tiktok (go watch it!!!!!) talking about why she’s agnostic and what religion/belief meant to her. It resonated with me as well and I wanted to capture my own thoughts as I discoved/listed to her perspective and what was meant to be a voice memo somehow turned into a 40-minute conversation with myself about Agnosticism, God, Religion, the Universe and Existence! So, zero structure here. Give it a listen if you want. I went through a series of understanding belief systems, why/why not religion, human existence and blah blah blah. Enjoy I guess🤩🤩🤩

  • Let’s discuss: Careers, passions and capitalism in your twenties
    Careers are a scam, surely? "Do what you love and never work a day in your life"! Uhhh? Under capitalism? No such thing. In this episode, we talk about how the idea of a linear career design isn't very human. We also dive into how capitalism has tricked us into giving up the best years of our lives for a later *perceived* freedom and ALSO the best parts of ourselves by convincing us, "If you're good at something, never do it for free", and SO MUCH MORE.

  • why do people have kids?

    In today’s episode, I’m playing ✨devil’s advocate✨ on some of the reasons people have children. Of course, there’s a lot of projecting and everything I say is based on my worldview (but maybe some things are fact, not opinion 😆). So stick around if you want to hear some potentially ✨problematic✨ takes.

  • why women (me) like gay porn.

    Am I the only one who truly enjoys gay porn as a cis female? (spoiler alert, no I'm not.) What's that about anyways? Well, in this episode I dive right in as to why women (me) prefer watching two men getting it on over cis porn. If you're curious to know and maybe have yourself validated for your likes, this is the episode for you. 😌

    Apologies in advance for some of the sound differences in there! ❤

  • prioritizing pleasure: instant gratification in a world of capitalism and social media
    Putting yourself and pleasure first has never been harder, especially in the current rise and grind era. In this episode of Acting My Age, we talk about everything pleasure: what prioritizing pleasure looks like, the trope of 'nothing good comes easily' and how we often perform pleasure based on societal principles instead of ourselves.
