Unstrictly Speaking

This is my li'l podcast where I'll be sharing self-publishing tips, sharing stories from my life, philosophizing ideas to chew on and...I dunno...identify with? Subjects tackled may sometimes, often, or never include: the world today (Because what is UP?) how to find happiness (And I dunno, keep it?) How do I do this? (This whole THIS!) Getting over trauma (Because seriously.) Manifesting stuff (Always a fun subject we all care about.) Letting go of the past (Thank God that’s over) Living in the Now (Wait, now? No, now. Now? Yes, Now…I think?) Welcome to byte-sized ponderings about anything, everything, and maybe even nothing. ✨💛✨
