The Angsty Pod
For more than 2 decades, I have written in a diary almost every single day. And guess what? I saved them ALL. Each week, I will be reading from these archives and getting to know myself from the lens of my 10, 16, 25, and 36-year-old self. We'll explore big topics such as body image, queerness, divorce, addiction, mental health, and friendship. I'll read cringy poems and attempt to find compassion for the painful tenderness of my younger self. Join the drama of me and my guests as we explore our boy-crazy, closeted, angsty selves... one stupid page at a time.

Episode 2 - Pot Brownies And Men Named Marco
"We met. We fell in love. We went to Paris. We said goodbye." <3
In this episode, I read from my diary titled, "Eurotrip 2018." I eat pot brownies in Amsterdam, turn thirty in Alfama, fall on my face in Porto, fall in love-ish with a man named Marco in Paris, and end my trip in Spain.
During this season of my life, I was six months out of an eight-year relationship and deep in my healing journey. I wanted to have an open heart, but my heart was aching. This was also my first solo trip I'd taken in eight years and was bit by the travel bug. Listen as I talk about the ups and downs of solo travelling and grieving the life you thought you'd have.
