Ep. 16: ‘Tis Autumn… Celebrating Little Moments of Joy


Listen Later

Welcome my lovely listeners and happy spooky season! After listening to Nat King Cole and Lady Ella on repeat, I am so excited to announce that it’s the best time of the year… Now, what’s so great about autumn? Is it nostalgia? Is it the pumpkin spiced lattes and apple cider? Is it the color changing leaves and rainy weather? Is it the fashion? Join me as I make my declaration of love to the fall season and what it symbolizes both personally and as a whole. Don’t forget to check out my curated list of media to consume especially since it’s peak season to do so!
