    About this Episode

    Since moving to LA, I have realized that almost everyone I know have gotten some kind of cosmetic procedure or aesthetic enhancement done. Myself included. And to be clear, I am in full support of any body modification, but I do find it curious for many reasons. I can't help but ask myself, have we as a society (I hated typing out that sentence) normalized changing key aspects about ourselves to make ourself "feel more confident?". I remember when I got my breast reduction, I knew I needed to get it done for medical purposes, but I was more focused in on the physical appearance of how my boobs would sit afterwards. I constantly compare myself to other people...especially when I'm doom scrolling on TikTok. I pose the question: Is surgery enough to fully view ourselves in the light we deserve? Is cosmetic surgery just a band aid of how we truly view ourselves? If celebs get work done, do they owe us that explanation? Is enhancing our face, tummy, back, butt, arms, teeth, etc. healing us? I have no clue. This is such a complex topic. So many questions, so few answers.

    Rejection and Redirection

    Rejection and Redirection

    This week we will be talking about rejection and redirection. Rejection often feels like shoved in the chest and your stomach flips upside, or like a closed door shutting in your face. Yet, it's in these moments that redirection reveals its power. Rather than viewing rejection as a dead end, I'm trying to see it as a signpost guiding you onto a different path, perhaps one you hadn't considered before. As much as I'm saying that for you to hear, I really need to hear it.

     

    It's in times of rejection where we learn most about ourselves and I think that's quite resilient. 

    I Will Always Be The Annoying Girl Who Studied Abroad In London

    I Will Always Be The Annoying Girl Who Studied Abroad In London

    If there's one thing about me it's that I will always be the annoying girl who studied abroad. I just got back from the UK and we have a lot to discuss... like how I got food poising on my anniversary, or how I started to watch Naked Attraction with my friends, or how there is no one more sensitive than a straight white man. This episode is so unhinged. P.S. I hope you read this imaging me saying this in a British dialect. 

    Going Back To Lebanon

    Going Back To Lebanon

    This is a throwback episode. I filmed this while I was in the Podeo studios in Beirut and it feels surreal that I was even there. It was a few years since I had been back and this meant more to me than I had anticipated. On this episode, we talk about what home even means. Being apart of the Lebanese diaspora is the biggest part of my identity and my proudest part of my identity. They say home is where the heart is, but what if my heart is in multiple places? Does that still mean that it's my home? This episode is dedicated to Lebanon. 

    Fantasy Talk with Amelia Clarkson

    Fantasy Talk with Amelia Clarkson

    This is a throwback episode so buckle up, team. On this episode, I sat down with Amelia Clarkson to discuss all the nuances of fantasy, her time in The Last Kingdom on Netflix, and writing and directing her first film. During our chat, we pose the questions Is fantasizing just overthinking? What is our earliest memory of fantasizing? Is being the main character just egotistical? So much to talk about with this British baddie.

     

    P.S. I lost the audio to this so sorry it's not high quality >.<

    Getting Cancelled By AI

    Getting Cancelled By AI

    AI, ever heard of her? She's my worst nightmare and greatest fantasy. I always go down a rabbit hole when it comes to Artificial Intelligence like what does it do to advance humans? Should it be regulated? Are we potentially creating a monster? The questions are endless and on this episode, we are going to play games with AI and see if it has the ability to cancel me or even flirt with me. 

    Anxiety and All

    Anxiety and All

    Anxiety, ever heard of her? We all have it...whether we like it or not. I'm genuinely so tired of TikTok and social media telling me what will help me alleviate stress and live my best life, when in reality, the only person who knows what's best for me, is me. We're going to talk about all things anxiety, depression, and how journaling doesn't actually cure mental illness? This podcast may be triggering to some viewers/listeners. Listen with caution. I'm sending you so much love and you got this.

    A Main Character Holiday

    Team, I fear the holiday's have arrived. It's time we sit down and discuss our holiday hopes and reflect on the last year. I feel like this year has been a whirlwind and taught me so many lessons. I laughed, I cried, I pissed my pants 4 times, and so much more. Sending you all so much love this holiday season and I'm proud of how far we've come. Cheers to us  <3
