  • Season Finale: The Edge of Seventeen

    Nobody asked I know, but I turned seventeen last month! And having turned this age between your supposed innocent teenage-days (sweet sixteen) and the start of your adulting (legalistic eighteen), I figured it was a bright opportunity to share what I was grateful for and also what I regret as a seventeen-year-old. Things I mentioned on this episode range from regrets I had as an high-schooler and just a teen in general. Enjoy these fifteen minutes of talking to myself about things I cannot change seeing as it isn't just a random episode but the Season Finale of season one of the podcast!

  • To everyone who's asked what I'd like to be when I'm older.

    We've all been asked 'What do you want to be when you grow up,' at one point in our lives; be it in our early days at kindergarten or even late in our 20's and while I'm aware that this question, is intended to create a sense of self-awareness in the person it's directed to, I deem it very tiring. In this episode, you'll get a very clear view of my stance on why this question is not only awkward and mundane but also an insight into how confused I am and why it's okay for me to be confused. So while this episode is below 20 minutes, it's very straight to the point and clearly one you don't want to miss.

  • Leaving an UgLy Community: hypocrisy, microagression, cancel culture
    I've shared on numerous occasions, (or in this case, episodes) that I was a part of a community. However, what I failed to share were the side effects of being in that community. In this episode, I discuss the hypocrisy, the obvious racial bias as well as every other thing that entails being in the Episode community. Though it's one hour long, you probably don't want to skip this episode.

  • These Instagram posts are not it.

    You've probably heard the saying, 'not all advice is good advice.' In this episode, I speak on the heavily saturated posts we see on Instagram that embody this saying. If you think you've seen it all and can't be annoyed anymore, you'll be pleading for your hearing sanity back after listening to this episode.

  • Why they don’t give phones to 10 year olds.

    At 10 years old, you were probably playing video games as you gossiped about annoying teachers. While I did all that, I also sprinkled in a bit more rubbish. In this episode, I reveal what doing adolescent years way different from peers means.
