Vividly Vocal

In this episode, I reflect on the freedom of allowing yourself to be misunderstood. Drawing from personal experiences-- like navigating toxic relationships, high school drama, and unstable friendships-- I explore how constantly explaining yourself can drain your energy and why it’s okay to let go of the need for validation. With humor and introspection, I remind you all that some people will misinterpret you no matter what, and the...

In this episode, Aery Blu explores the idea that your unique talents, gifts, and potential are recognized by others long before you see them in yourself. Many of us downplay our abilities, but the truth is, your inner light shines brighter than you realize.

What is a brat? “You’re just like that girl who is a little messy and likes to party and maybe says some dumb things some times,” Charli XCX replies. “Who feels like herself but maybe also has a breakdown. But kind of like parties through it, is very honest, very blunt. A little bit volatile. Like, does dumb things. But it’s brat. You’re brat. That’s brat.” The internet claims summer 2024 belongs to “brat”, but will this album mak...
