✨ mental health • feminism • community living • relationships ✨

In today’s episode we’re diving headfirst into the big messy questions: what does it mean to build a life outside of men and outside of society’s “timeline”?

I break down the Bird’s Nest community (a women-only living space where companionship > coupledom), the rise of the 4B movement in South Korea (spoiler: no men, no marriage, no babies, no problem?), and how timeline grief sneaks up on us when we realize we’re not living the script we were handed.

We’ll talk money (aka financial independence = freedom), self-discovery, and why reinvention at literally ANY age is not only allowed, it’s necessary. Plus: I got featured in the Wall Street Journal (!!) so yeah, we’re celebrating that too.

🔑 takeaways:

• Community living is changing the way women think about love + support
• The 4B movement is feminism… turned up to 11
• “Timeline grief” is real, but it doesn’t have to own you
• Financial independence = the sexiest thing you can give yourself
• Reinvention is always on the table
