We were long overdue for a catch up→ Journals: https://www.cleohaze.com/products/lexie-lombards-journal→ Instagram: @lexie→ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lexielombard?lang=enWhere I’ve Been..Welcome to a new season! After a break I didn’t plan but really needed, I’m back with a full life catch-up. Since the last episode I moved into my own apartment for the first time and turned 30 (and I love it). I also accidentally started a handmade journal business. I talk about hosting a coloring club and a journal club, and being a counselor at a grief camp for kids who’ve lost a parent or sibling, which was one of the best weeks of my year. I also went to Lisbon, took a road trip through Germany and watched one of my best friends get married.We also get into dating with a “roster” and whether my boredom is really fear in disguise. I talk about the “is marriage a trap?” side of TikTok, falling in love with making vertical videos and finally buying real high heels for my dream closet. Spoon turned two, and I tell the story of my YouTube channel getting hacked through a phishing scam, plus the surprise upside of daily calls with my dad. And because I’ve been church-hopping all year, you’ll hear about the best and the most ridiculous services I’ve been to.Thank you for all your messages asking where the pod went. I missed you.

This month, I'm going on 10 Dates in 30 Days. They don't need to be 10 different people, just 10 unique dates. This challenge was inspired by Kenzie Elizabeth (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xG_K2HRxGls) as a way to flex my dating muscle and get comfortable with something I previously (and currently) found tedious and taxing. → Patreon (bonus content & extended ad-free episodes): https://www.patreon.com/c/lexielombard→ Instagram: @lexie→ Podcast (Apple): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lexie/id1540856979→ Podcast (Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/show/6cJ98PP2VbeR9mxRNQ7KLI?si=decba52305024640 Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
