  • I Feel Like a Failure

    In this episode we get very emotional and thought-provoking. I talk about my reasoning for my week off which included my best friends Taylor Swift themed birthday weekend,  finishing the beer summit as well as showing my age in my knees and the fright of finally getting back into writing for fun and Taylor making me revert back to my 14-year-old self with her re-recording of "Fearless." I then get into the topic this week about why I feel like a failure. I go into my journey of wanting to be a writer and the setbacks and rejections I've faced along the way. And also how my job I thought I got didn't turn out the way I pictured. In the end, I'm still not giving up on my dream job and can only keep going forward. Here's to another mark in my journey.

  • This is More Than Just a Love Story
    In this episode I talk about getting back into a routine after my vacation, how my birthday went, and some rejections and hopeful opportunities while job hunting. I then go into the book of the month which is a bit different this time around. I read some essays from the book “Modern Love” edited by Daniel Jones and get a little sad and laughing. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me reach my goal of 1k plays. I know for a fact if it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t have this so thank you. Sending so much love and virtual hugs your way.

There are plenty of tears and laughs and reflections throughout. So, get ready because it's a roller coaster. I'm grateful for another trip around the sun and many more to come.

  • A Broken Girl & A Condescending Man: When Books Become Music, “Rebecca” and “Tolerate It”
    In this episode I talk about how a good week can still be good even with a shitty end. I keep on track with my new fitness routine, complete my dry January, and am on track with my reading. I then get into a very exciting and possibly new segment. What if I told you “Tolerate It” by Taylor Swift was inspired by the book “Rebecca” by Daphne Du Maurier? I take you through the novel by providing actual evidence that goes along with the lyrics and give my honest opinion whether or not this “book of the century” is worth reading or only just good inspiration to be put into a song.
