Welcome back to marisa! Today we are wrapping up our deep dive into Taylor Swift’s iconic 2006 debut country album. We are taking a look at the teenage songwriting behind track list staples like "Our Song" and "Should've Said No," and dissecting the emotional storytelling of "Mary's Song,".

But that’s not all—this episode gets personal. I'm opening up about my own musical journey, breaking down how I’ve been composing and producing my very own original music for TikTok sounds, and sharing what it’s really like to build a creative career on your own terms.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The production, themes, and legacy of Taylor Swift's Debut album.

• A track-by-track breakdown of "Our Song," "Should've Said No," and more.

• My experiences that mirror Taylor's writing.

• Overcoming creative fear and stepping into independent audio production.

Welcome back to marisa!

In our second "Books vs. Shows" breakdown, we are diving deep into George R.R. Martin’s A Game of Thrones and comparing it to HBO’s Game of Thrones Season 1, Episodes 2 and 3.

The television show changed significant details from the original books—starting with the characters' actual ages (did you know Sansa is only 11 and Arya is 9 in the books?). In this episode, we break down:

• The ominous Dothraki lore of ghost grass that HBO left out.

• Why Cersei's emotional scene with Catelyn Stark in Winterfell was NOT in the books.

• Ghost tackling Tyrion Lannister and the true presence of the Stark direwolves.

• The real reason the show changed Bran Stark’s Three-Eyed CROW into a Three-Eyed RAVEN.

• Jon Snow's fight at the Wall and how the armorer checked his privilege.

• The exact moment Daenerys Targaryen's inner dragon woke up against Viserys on the road.

Whether you are a die-hard book reader or a casual fan of the HBO series, let’s look at how these massive adaptation shifts changed the trajectory of Westeros.

Join me as I read through some of my first ever journal entries from when I was 8 years old. It's so sweet, and really shows me how I was thinking and what I was experiencing back then.

I also show pictures of little me!! If you haven't started journaling yet, I strongly encourage you to do so, so you can look back on them in a few years and appreciate where you came from and how you've grown into who you are! 🩵

I want to wear the title of "Swiftie" with honor and grace, but right now, I have only the most basic knowledge of the Swiftie world.

Join me as I learn everything I can and become a full-fledged Swiftie in the process!

Welcome to my series "Books vs. Movies/Shows" where I tell you the differences in the details of what was left out when popular books were adapted for the big screen.

We're starting with Game of Thrones, as the 3rd season of House of the Dragon comes out.

Follow along to find out what details could've changed the story, and really would've made for a better ending...

They try to get us to answer the question, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" as early Kindergarten, as if we're only allowed to be ONE thing.

No. I think we are more than that. More than our occupation. More than our education. Of course, those things are important, but what about life skills? What about experiences and unique qualities?

In this episode, I explain why I think many of us, or at least I, have a hard time locking down ONE field of interest or career.

As kind of an extension to my Intro video, I want you to know who I am, why I have a podcast, and why you should care.

I've gone through a lot of difficult, exciting, unique, and trying experiences in my life, and I want to share those experiences for those that are trying to navigate similar circumstances. AND I have a lot of cool things I've learned over the years that I also just want to yap about 🤭

I hope to be a friend to you, or maybe an older sister providing advice.

Either way, thank you for tuning in 💜
