Episode #38 of The Happiest Sad Person Podcast.
Join me, Alessandra, as I open up about my desire not to film today and my futile addiction to perfectionism (always to my own detriment). I also give my own spin on the notion that the grass is not greener on the other side and how social media makes me feel behind and depressed.
It's really an ode to the idea that there's nothing more hollow than fulfilling someone else's dreams.
So, listen to this pod -- and then go get those dreams, girl! [or guy, ambition don't discriminate here] !!

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
