Hey gals! Today I bring you another (chaotic, sorry about the audio) episode. I'm leaving for Oxford TOMORROW... at least at the time I recorded this... and wanted to wrap this up with a Q&A as usual. You know I won't let you down xoxo Beyond catching up, let's talk everything wellness, pop culture, fall and figure out whether we're into it or not.

Today we have a shortie but a goodieeee AKA an episode on academic growth with the one and only @manili.jpg!! I met Mandi during my time at the University of Edinburgh; there, she was an exchange student who, little did I know, had all these insane ideas and intelligent criticisms about AI and Sociology up her sleeve. We literally just spent our time bonding over Taylor Swift music at chatty balls and dinners, but I don't regret that either. Anyway, come learn more about her research + find out some pro academia tips!

We're back with a solo episode after a very consecutive segment of guest ones. I really made space in the current season to talk about my own personal experiences with topics I find to be very pressing and touching. As much as I love having fun conversations with guests, I'd still really like to keep this podcast underscored by the more delicate, unserious, chill girly chats... just me and you. [TW: for those with eating disorders] Today I talk about how societal expectations for the woman's body are unrealistic, ever changing, and thus virtually unattainable. I dissect the irony in female weight and proportion standards and discuss, instead, how to feel comfortable and happy in your own skin. I truly hope this is helpful to someone out there! You're not alone; never, in this community. Love you all.
