The way I managed to get this episode out before July is crazy to me.

But when I say I will do three episodes a month, I do my darndest to make that happen.

And also I really wanted to talk with my friend Aiden after literal AGES.

What better way to catch up than to talk about the highly politicized topic of LGBTQ+ identity on the day of the first presidential debate of the 2024 election?

Anyway, feel free to share YOUR story of living and growing as an adult in a post-pandemic would by emailing or DMing me on instagram.

Til next time, go live life lavish <3

theme music: Night in Kyoto by Avbe

America loves freedom, but this country was not really free until June 19th, 1865 when the last slave was emancipated in the south.

Juneteenth only became a national holiday in 2021... a year after the resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020.

Truly 2020 was a fever dream on SO many levels.

My friend M'Kayla talks about what 2020 was like for her as well as a what Juneteenth means to her.

intro/outro music: Night in Kyoto by Avbe

It's graduation season! Shireen and I are in varying degrees of anxiety. You know who else is lost in the void of impending adulthood? Benjamin Braddock in Mike Nichols' CLASSIC film The Graduate.

Shireen and I get into it and the sound of silence in this episode is filled with my computer overheating... sorry, that's on me :(

Intro Music: Night in Kyoto by Avbe

Is tennis really a relationship, or is that just a bunch of words strung together because they sound profound?

Shireen and I get into it and nitpick the popular film Challengers in May's Movie of the Month!

Capping off this trilogy of job-related conversations is Tyler Cadenas. He is a filmmaker and computer science major among other things (singer, guitar player, basketball player etc). But he is also in tune with what he wants in life which is why he won't be becoming a professional filmmaker.

Find out why in this episode! Also listen to the previous two episodes to hear what Dr. Meg Jay and my friend Yaa have to say about post-graduation job hunting, anxiety, and the struuuuuuugle.

April finals bring May (graduation) laurels... I know it doesn't rhyme but that's the best I can do :)

Psychologist and author Dr. Meg Jay joins me on the podcast to essentially ease the fears any 20-something might have when about to enter a new stage of their life.

Dr. Jay is the author of The Defining Decade and The Twenty-Something Treatment. Both books take a deep dive into the lives of twenty-somethings as they go through this monumental time.

Needless to say, I NEEDED to talk with Dr. Jay.

If you are, ever have been, or ever will be in your twenties (hopefully all of you), you HAVE TO LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE!

It's been a minute since my last episode, but a lot has happened! The class of 2020 is now the class of 2024 which is really weird to think about AND scary considering a lot of us don't have jobs (myself included). So, this episode we talk about the struggles of trying to get a job in a post-pandemic world while also keeping the hope for a career we are passionate about.

Feel free to reach out with your story of living in a post-pandemic world by getting in touch or commenting on the episode :)

If you've been on social media or watching the news AT ALL, you've probably heard about the HBO docuseries Quiet on Set.

It's a wild ride but also a bit lacking in some regards. Shireen and I break it all down in April's Movie of the Month!

Content warning: we do discuss sexual abuse so please take care of yourself before listening if the topic is a sensitive one for you <3
