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 12 - Love Triangles and The Boy Who Blew My Mind
I'm 15 going on 16 and about to fall in love for what feels like the hundredth time. But this time, something feels different. I'm scared to get vulnerable with Grant because "what if he wastes all his goodness on me." There are too many love triangles to count in this one... my bestie is crushing on my ex, the love of my life is in love with someone else, the guy who might like me used to like my sister... it's WILD how I managed to function given all this angst and drama. I'm not sure how well I am functioning though - I *never* go to class and spend my entire day smoking weed with older boys and then my weekends partying my face off with my sister. This one is a gem and also like ten soap operas in one. It ends on a cliffhanger so make sure you tune in next week!!
