📚 Episode 1: Yesteryear — Why This Book Stayed With Me

Welcome to the first episode of Sit Down Book Report ✨

En este episodio hablamos de Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke, un libro que me sorprendió muchísimo y que se quedó conmigo mucho después de terminarlo.

Hablamos sobre temas como privilege, gender roles, identity, romanticizing the past, y cómo el libro conecta con conversaciones actuales como trad wife influencer culture y la diferencia entre elegir un estilo de vida vs vivirlo porque no tienes otra opción.

Más que una reseña, esta es una conversación sobre el impacto que tuvo este libro en mí y todas las preguntas que me dejó.
