Voice of My Generation

Every time I see my friends in person, we somehow end up apologizing to each other for being terrible at keeping in touch. In this episode, I unpack the complicated, ever-changing world of friendship, from childhood best friends and high school friendships to college roommates and the people we meet as adults. We talk about the guilt of growing apart, the struggle of maintaining relationships when everyone's lives are moving in different directions, learning when to set boundaries, and accepting that not every friendship is meant to look the same forever. How do we balance giving people grace with actually putting in the effort to keep the bond alive? And at what point does growing apart become growing up? Because while friendships change, I think we can all agree that we'd like to stop apologizing for being bad at them. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We met in middle school, survived Catholic school, and somehow ended up living together in New York City. Now we're navigating friend breakups, existential dread, and the horrors of having a 9-5. In this episode, my best friend and roommate and I discuss growing up together, growing apart from people, and the general scam that is being expected to function as an adult. At least we have each other. And a shared apartment. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Lena Dunham once said, “I’m more scared than most people are when they say that they’re scared. I’m like the most scared person alive.” And honestly, I’ve never related to anything more. In this episode, I’m unpacking the five things that keep me up at night: decisions, finances, other people’s opinions, failure, and the future. From being terrified of making the wrong choice to somehow being equally terrified of doing nothing at all, we’re talking about the very special experience of being in your 20s and feeling like every decision could make or break your entire life. Is it possible to be scared of literally everything and still manage to live a life? Asking for a friend (me). Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What happens when you look back at the things you were once embarrassed by and realize they’re the reason you are who you are today? We’re going back to our musical theater kid roots to talk about how we met, the awkwardness of growing up, and how theater gave us the space to become ourselves. From balancing school and life to reframing the things we have to do into the things we get to do, we’re unpacking the little mindset shifts that make a big difference. Plus, discovering our type, discovering dyslexia, and realizing that maybe we’re still figuring out a lot more than we thought. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Macy Thompson joins me this week to discuss how she got her start in social media after having a REAL job (a foreign concept to me). We tap into the wisdom that comes with having a fully developed frontal lobe, from much-needed financial advice for those of us who find the idea of managing money genuinely terrifying to navigating the existential crisis of getting older and figuring out how to grow up without becoming boring. Basically, Macy is the older sister I need, and I'm here to take notes. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week I’m joined by Maya, Maddie, and Ava who you might know as the Fat Sunday girls. We’re talking about meeting each other in the wild, our first impressions (including who we definitely judged incorrectly). The lore behind their friendship, and how we’ve all ended up on wildly different life paths from unemployed to law school. We get into moving to NYC, the shared trauma of NYC apartments. How we somehow manifested the lives we’re living right now, outline a Dummy’s Guide to Manifesting, and whether manifestation is actually real or if we’re just delusional. Of course… our love lives, because apparently we can’t have one conversation without bringing up men. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

You might be wondering how I got here…. I’m introducing myself and telling the story of how I went from post-grad with no idea what I was doing, to posting on social media, still not knowing what I’m doing and somehow getting a podcast.
