Hi hots,

Today I decided I wanted to yap, as they say, with you. I was talking out loud to myself (re: crazy) and was like no… I need to talk to the girls about this.

I am a big voice memo-er. Not only voice note journaling like I’m on a phone call with myself, but specifically, sending my friends voice memos instead of texts. If it’s really good (or really bad), we’re talking like 15-20min. One thing about me and my girls is we love a personal podcast episode. And that’s basically what we’re doing today!

Here’s the agenda, in order 🍐

* My organizational system: what’s working, what’s maybe not… is this crazy? What’s your system look like? Particularly for my ADHD babes who love to plan and HATE to execute. Lol.

* Rebranding as “athletic”… I know. I am SO exercise intolerant these days, like bad, and I’m ready to be stronger than the NBA combined. Advice WELCOMED.

* Beauty favorites rn! Chatting about weird things I am putting in my hair, my go-to manicure/ring situation (but lowkey… is it just a recession indicator?), and my makeup routine that is perfect for everything. I think I talk about other stuff too.

* The faux romanticism of the creative freelancer: Ahhh. A topic I have too much to say about. Talking about a piece I’m writing on this topic (coming out right after this prob!), and reflecting on my early years as a freelancer in the film and fashion industries— and why it made me SO jaded, and how I made it to the other side! Basically, talking about the crazy martyrdom complex and inaccessibilities of the creative industries and freelance economy that are making you feel like you need to be a specific kind of person to achieve your dreams. I REJECT THAT. Anyways!

ILY! Voice memo me back? 👉👈
