Study the women’s sciences

Listen to Best Regards Episode 7 (Spotify | Apple)! Our closet podcast studios are getting hotter than hot girl summer. Hannah reviews Trader Joe’s Everything but the Bartender canned margaritas and serves you ice clinking ASMR. We discuss summer drinks and artificial fruit flavors and Kat shares her tale of skittle outrage. We wax philosophically about women’s sciences such as color season typology and female looksmaxxing phrenology (Vindicta, Splendida, witch skull vs angel skull), talk about the inherent selfishness of social anxiety, and come to the defense of basic bitches, normies, and Karens. Hannah reports on her recent discovery of Sabrina Carpenter and why people have been saying that’s that me espresso, and performs a dramatic reading of some of Ms. Carpenter’s expert lyrical stylings. We talk about men’s slutty little shorts, sexualization of young female starlets, Sydney Sweeney’s choice to embrace the dog pill, and the apparent shortage of talent in Hollywood as evidenced in The Hollywood Reporter’s ranking of the new Hollywood A-List stars. We take calls from two lovely listeners and answer their questions about how to move past and harness envy/jealousy for growth, and the propriety of being photographed without one’s knowledge in the workplace. We offer tips for finding an affordable and knowledgeable therapist and emphasize the importance of documentation of harassing events in your place of employment.

Starting over

“Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.” — Anaïs Nin This is uncharacteristically raw and personal, even for me, and pretty heavy! I know many of you have seen me posting through it and I feel safe to talk about it openly now that I’ve safely landed at the start of my new life. It’s honestly even a little bit embarrassing but I think it’s important to share. I’ve never publicly mentioned it on here, but I have a husband; as of Friday, we’d have been together for 11 years, and we’ve been married for 3 years as of 2/22. I realize now that I wanted to explore what I looked like outside of my relationship with him because I had lost that. This is why PI.FYI has been so meaningful to me as a space to express myself and connect with people—to rediscover my voice. I had been living a lie this entire time, to others but worst of all to myself. He’s been verbally and emotionally abusive, physically but without touching me, to the point that every day I spent with him I was in danger. I’ve been shrinking myself and walking on eggshells to avoid making him insecure and provoking his casual put-downs and fits of rage, while hanging on for dear life to the threads of good I could see. I’ve wanted so badly to leave, more than anything, but I felt like there was no way out and that this was just something I would need to endure indefinitely—but someone who is so very dear to me helped me see that I have wings to fly, not by acting as my savior but by reminding me of my own power. The emotional safety they built and the gentle care they showed me made me feel like I could open up to them. With their encouragement I was brave enough to tell the truth to my friends, my family, my boss, and they have received me with warm, loving and open arms and rallied to support and protect me. The financial and  logistical aspects were the most intimidating to me and it’s going to be tough for a while but I’m going to be better than okay! Now I’m opening up to you. This isn’t the only abuse I’ve suffered in my life, and my old therapist told me she believed it was my mission to share my strength and light with others to inspire them and show them that change is possible. I hope that by sharing this, I can reach even just one person who is going through something similar and show that they are not alone, and they are not weak. People with certain backgrounds may be more vulnerable to abuse, but it can happen to anyone. It thrives in darkness, shame, and isolation—and breaking that silence is the first step toward freedom. Leaving is the scariest thing I have ever done but I have so many angels around me, and I am endlessly grateful. Thank you for being here with me 💌

Never changing

My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too 💌
