this podcast is so good!! love to hear from older women about their experiences and feelings around life, career, aging, all kinds of things all with jld’s unmatched humor and earnestness ◡̈
Nothing gets me more motivated than listening to girls slightly older than me talk about things I care about and with intellect and interest. When I started writing somewhat seriously, the first “article” I ever wrote was because of this one podcast. it was called “God’s Forgotten Glut Girls” and it was fabulous and so very much the thoughts of my 18 year old self.
It can get so tiring consuming media because its a 'classic' or it's 'necessary to understand x'. Improving taste and furthering your education is obviously a great thing but it can be worn out just like any other thing! Hence, my preference for the 'nevermind' podcast, it feels like I'm in on a conversation with friends which is the -ultimate- form of expanding your horizons because it doesn't require effort!!! Finding things you can go to for comfort is a great way to find spark. "It's the little things" as they say...
i have two under two and i’ve never felt more vulnerable or in love with the world despite the calamities! i’ve never had more empathy or patience or compassion for all living things! i’m also so tired and hormonal rn so don’t make any rash decisions but so far it’s working for me ☆ ps. pregnancy and labor and delivery physically went very smoothly for me. i had freaky ppd the first time around but so far this time is just overwhelmingly wonderful?? results may vary.
