"create more than you consume." Okay...but HOW!? We're all addicted to scrolling already. How do we stop the cycle for long enough to actually create something?

Well, we start taking notes. This episode is all about following your string of curiosity and getting serious about your interests. We've all heard the phrase "in order to be interesting, you need to be interested."

So let's tap into the power of our own interests with a newfound intentionality. Never heard of digital gardening? Don't worry. Think of today's episode as a digital gardening crash course.

In today's episode, we're chatting about:

• How to be a more interesting person
• Why would taking notes help you be more creative?
• What is a digital garden?
• How do you create a digital garden?

Resources Mentioned:

• Oddyseas' note taking tutorial
• Ayan Artan's "In Defense of Pretension"
• A Brief History and Ethos of the Digital Garden

There is no time like the present to re-evaluate your relationship with men.

The cost of centering men in your life:

• Never truly meeting yourself because you're stuck in a cycle of appealing to the male gaze
• Lack of autonomy and self-expression
• Loss of female friendships
• Missed opportunities

And so, so much more...

So what are we going to do about it?

Some people are all about divesting from men completely. I don't think that's the answer for me.

So today, we're talking about decentering men WHILE dating them. This episode will still be relevant if you're actively in a relationship with men or never wanted a relationship with men in the first place.

We're all living in a patriarchal society - one that seems to be absolutely imploding and targeting women during it's downfall right now...

Today, I'm sitting down for a completely off the cuff conversation with my mom❤️‍🔥 If you've never met my mom, you'll definitely be obsessed with her by the end of this conversation.

After literally 3 days of trying to upload the video to Spotify with nothing but "failure to load" messages, I'm opting for audio only for this episode. Womp womp. Please go check out the Youtube video if you want to see all of the family photos and memes I've included love bugs.

Last year for Christmas, I gifted my mom a Storyworth subscription that was meant to turn her stories into a book for my baby niece. But I decided, since my mom is one of the funniest, most insightful people I know, I might as well turn it into a little radio show for her as well. So while a lot of this episode may feel totally random to you if you're a stranger, it's incredibly meaningful to me. I hope you enjoy it :)

CONTENT WARNING: Please take care of yourself, this episode does contain a short discussion about mental illness and suicide. If these topics are potentially triggering, consider switching to a different episode!

You can't be yourself until you know yourself and you can't know yourself if you're constantly abandoning yourself in pursuit of other people. You can watch the full episode video on Spotify and ⁠Youtube⁠ (the memes really add to the experience if I do say so myself)!

That's the heart of today's episode wrapped up in a sentence. Going into 2025, I hope we can all find the space to be a bit selfish.

I've been thinking a lot about how I can toggle back and forth between fixer mode and victim mode. In 2025, I want to take a playful approach to being my own parent, ritualizing everything I do so that it's more fun and more beautiful to me, and getting to know myself intentionally.

It doesn't have to all be intense goal setting in the New Year. It can be a process of slowmaxxing into the version of you that knows what you need and stops asking permission. We're talking about self-expression, self-exploration and devotion to the self today.

We've all had incredibly vivid dreams where we stumble out of bed and immediately try to recall everything we can. But what do we do with the bits and pieces we remember? Most of us stop at retelling the juiciest bits to our friends. But what if our dreams were the key to understanding ourselves on the deepest level?

Today, I'm chatting with Jared Ray Gilmore, a Jungian depth coach, audio engineer and composer. He blew my mind with this conversation. We're digging into how you can read the symbols in your dreams, what the function of your ego actually is, and so much more.

If you enjoy this episode, share it with a friend! They deserve to unlock the key to their dreams too! Check out the Spotify playlist HERE!

Girlhood is a state of constant embarrassment. Not to mention the feeling that you're just...always in trouble? So how the hell are we supposed to become well-adjusted adults when most of us have been raised to have a deep shame rooted in our bones?

Well today, I've got Hailey Noecker, self-published author that's absolutely killing it on Substack right now and a prevention specialist for a child advocacy nonprofit.

We're chatting about:

• How working in child advocacy has made Hailey think about her own childhood differently
• What it means to reclaim your youth in adulthood
• The fig tree analogy (of course, you know me)
• Why our obsession with self-optimization can be debilitating
