So … I did a thing. A BIG thing. And since it's my (well, our) podcast, I'm allowed to make Kristen interview me about the big thing I've done. ;)

Back in January, when Kristen and I were trying out (and massively resisting) The Artist's Way, an idea fell nearly fully formed, into my lap:

I want to create my own podcast about my ridiculously long, weird, confusing, painstaking journey through singledom. I knew immediately how I wanted it to sound, what stories I wanted to tell, what the art could look like, what the chapters would be called … I just needed to sit down and actually make it.

The idea was so potent that it wouldn't let me sleep, for nights in a row, until I started writing it all down—it poured out, almost faster than I could keep up with.

I've been working on it in fits and bursts ever since, and next Wednesday, August 18—my birthday, as a matter of fact—I'm dropping the first episode of my new miniseries, Forever Alone: One introverted millennial's half-agonizing, half-hopeful journey through singledom.

Kristen got to treat me like a "normal person" this month, so listen in as she and I talk about…

• How not getting something you want for years on end can drive you a little crazy, and make you question everything you think you know about yourself, and how life works.
• Why this podcast sounds like it's about dating and relationships, but it's really about reconciling with BIG things—existential crises, anxiety and depression, belief in something bigger than yourself, what you want out of your career and life, and who you want to be as a human.
• How the creative process unfolded for me, and why it felt critical to tell this story now.
• What I hope you will get out of hearing me work through my fears and feelings.

Come leave a comment after you've listened to share how this one resonated with you, or just share some excitement about this new chapter in my journey! ☺

And if you'd like to make me very happy, please go subscribe now to Forever Alone wherever you listen to podcasts, and get ready to enjoy on Wednesday!
