ep. 22 - celebrating 22..?

pfeeew... i don't even know where to begin. it has been a wild half a year! i feel i haven't reflected enough in this episode but i was running out of time, but this season has been so special to me! i don't know how to explain it but season one was more of me getting into the podcasting groove, whereas season two has helped come to term with a lot of things, including this latest phase of my life! a lot of thinking, reconfiguring and reconceptualising who i am, what i feel, understanding the changes and the ways everything ebbs and flows. it has been a true pleasure to have you along with me for six months! i love and adore you with everything that i have! with kind and peaceful energy, marion x 🂱 music - lianne la havas' bittersweet and paper thin (2021) & sabrina carpenter's exhale (2019) & julie delpy's a waltz for a night tv show - before sunrise (1995), before sunset (2004), before midnight (2013) - starring julie delpy and ethan hawke book - barbara's il était un piano noir (1998) ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

ep. 21 - regaining a sense of self

we're almost there, right when i feel like i'm getting into my groove! this episode was a lot of introspection, a lot of peace and i hope this energy influences you a bit in the rest of your week. spoiler alert, this episode is shorter, perhaps it's even longer than last one. what can i say i just love to chat! i won't get all touchy-feely just yet about how much i love you and how much this podcast means to me, i'm saving it for next week! i hope this one treats you well, i love you, marion x 🂱 music - sunset in the blue by melody gardot (2021), time by olivia dean (2024), let's fall in love for night 1964 by finneas (2020) tv show - medusa deluxe (2023) book - sylvia plath's the bell jar (1963) ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

ep. 20 - done with college

here we are again, for our third to last episode! i wanted to reflect on my college experience, being done for at least a couple of years... i really loved my experience in college, i was able to discover myself, discover what i liked, made friends i still cherished. college helped me navigate my independance, advocating for myself! i will be forever grateful for everything that i learned, whether i cared for it or not, for all the discovery of myself, my interests starting with my thesis. i hope you're really enjoyed me yapping about my curatorial and art historical interests! with kind and peaceful energy, marion x 🂱 music - dire strait's in the gallery & little simz ft. obongjayar's point and kill (2021) & sabrina carpenter's all we have is love (2016) tv show - netflix' really love (2020) & grown-ish (2018-2024) book - joana joachim's black feminist curatorial practices in canada (2018) & isabelle boni-claverie's trop noire pour être française (2015) & bell hooks' teaching to transgress (1994) ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

ep. 18 - perspectives

so once again, this episode is a bit late, but i went through a whole reorganisation for my publishing schedule. anyway, we are officially back for the last few episodes, there is not even that much left in the season but i cannot wrap my mind around being done with season 2, which is not even a topic for today. this episode is a beautiful one, coming to term with ymself, my own expectations and my own limitations. i am letting go, making room for the new not in an overly positive way but rather because life waits for no one, and especially after today, being fixated on past encounters truly does not hold anything but a sad pitiful nostalgia! so with kind and peaceful energy, i hope you enjoy this week's episode! marion x 🂱 music - everything is everything by lauryn hill (1998), vienna by billy joel (1977), and raye's cover of feeling good by nina simone (2024) tv show - a quiet place: day one (2024) starring lupita nyong'o and joseph quinn, featuring nina simone's feeling good (1965) book - paulo coelho's the alchemist (1988) ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
