Is it worth reading and studying the works of Shakespeare? Is the phrase "that's just the way that I am" a valid reason to not take a closer look at ourselves and to not change certain behaviours? Lana brings you another episode consisting of highs and lows; light-hearted topics and more serious ones. She also shares a story about a not-so-serious incident that happened to her recently, and how it got her thinking about some very serious things.

9: Why are we so bad at consent and asking for permission?

Lana takes a break from the cameras and speaks freely on anything that comes to her mind. Similar to the Lana Blakely YouTube channel, she continues to openly reflect on some of the many thoughts and feelings that are common to the human experience. New episodes every Tuesday.

29: Minimalism and Self-Expression

I recently travelled alone to Paris. What's the point of going away completely alone to a foreign country? Is it safe as a female? What is important to keep in mind? In today's episode, we discuss all things solo-travel. 

28: Solo travel: The Good, The Bad And The Ugly

Labels are everywhere. We want to belong to certain communities and groups. We want to belong, period. We also want to feel understood, both by others and by ourselves. But what are some downsides of seeking out labels?
