Regular

In this episode, I got to virtually sit down with Sam Rosensweig: a powerhouse social marketer and woman wise beyond her years who has become one of my nearest and dearest friends. 

Sam and I dug into performative social media, what it means to build a community, and how we can all engage across platforms in a way that works best for us. We also spent time chatting about the impact the pandemic has had on adult relationships -- platonic and romantic -- and the ways we've been able to combat Zoom fatigue, lack of physical attachment, and overall emotional depletion in this time of social distancing. 

In this solo episode, I first tackle the state of the nation follow the January 6th insurrection at the capitol, processing emotional reactions and recognizing the validity in hopelessness at the current moment. 

I also discuss the inception of Regular and highlight the last twelve months in drive-thru fashion. Turning to self exploration, as it turns out, has been paramount to keeping two feet on the ground amidst a pandemic and a series of life-changing events. 

In this episode, I virtually sit down with my best friend from college, Emily Lauster. We discuss the ever-popular Tik Tok, and the impact that social media influencers are and aren't making on large societal issues that we face today. The episode also opens up a conversation regarding therapy, its apparent normalization among millennials and Gen Z, how it has become a popular dunk on others, and its role in larger social functions -- particularly, toxic masculinity.
