🎧 Voice Note: The false promise of "settling down"

Hi!Back with a Voice Note today about aging, and especially the cultural scripts around what happens as you do it. On Sunday I mentioned that my 30s have been more dynamic than cultural scripts indicated they would, and in this episode I talk more about what I meant by that. This is not a diatribe about what it means to be any particular age, but rather what I think it means to age (a.k.a. continue to be alive) in general.Hope you enjoy!Haley This is a public episode.

We also dabble in some Love Island discussion and weigh in on The Bear.

🎧: Secret daydreams, w/ Harling Ross

Good morning,I asked my good friend Harling Ross to come back onto the podcast today to discuss Leslie Jamison’s essay “Dreaming in Broad Daylight” for Astra Mag, which we both loved. This conversation is about the piece specifically, but also about what it means to write honestly (versus “authentically” or through confession), why a lot of modern writing falls short, and in the last segment, what we secretly daydream about, no holds barred. We also randomly talk about going to the gym…Pardon the New York City sounds in the background, we recorded in my office downtown.Thanks for listening!Haley This is a public episode.
