About Desperately Seeking

Personal essays in voice-note form, from your friendly neighbourhood oversharer. What began as a birthday bucket list, counting down to 40, evolved in to an exploration of the idea we (especially women) give fewer f*cks as we age. Most recently renamed 'Desperately Seeking' to fall in line with my substack title and make it more easy to find on your chosen podcast player. mikhila.substack.com

Ageing Disgracefully (with Lee)

First and foremost - the first episode with Lee is RAPIDLY climbing my ‘most popular’ list, and when you consider it’s a MEMBERS ONLY, that’s bonkers! I created a little group chat on insta, for listeners to weigh on on future episodes and MAYBE even talk among themselves (it’s early days.. nobody wants to make the first move) and the poll in that group was pretty heavily weighted towards another one with Lee. Now, I left it all a bit late (not like me at all) and so instead of the topic I had planned (listen to the end for that ironic twist) we started on Lee’s hatred for a certain style of sandals (a ‘boner killer’ - his words) and that took us on a journey down, ‘what should we be wearing now we’re 40?’. I think a lot of people our age are under the illusion that we’re ageing in reverse of somehow freezing time, but I have a theory.. and it’s more about what we’re wearing that anything else. I promise we’ll get back on topic for next week, but enjoy this haphazard in-care episode in the meantime. This is a public episode.

Couples Therapy - Let's Talk About Sex

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit mikhila.substack.com [https://mikhila.substack.com?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_7] Welcome back to Desperately Seeking and to a brand new *MAYBE* series, ‘couples therapy’. The idea is to cover hot relationship topics with my husband of 14 years, answer questions you guys send in ..and will we talk about the importance of reality television as pseudo psychology and a way to open up conversation about inter-personal issues? PROBABLY! YESTERDAY, I asked instagram, ‘what question do you wish you could ask another couple?’ Almost immediately, it became apparent that the NUMBER ONE question was going to be about their sex life. Understandable! I think we’re all a little curious about what goes on behind closed doors, right? But I wasn’t sure how to organise the variety of questions in to something worth listening to. I also realised the conversation NEEDED more voices. While we can answer for us, we can’t answer for all. So, we’re going to dip our toe for episode one, see how we go, then I’ll bring in some other perspectives for a deeper dive. I also had so many questions about finances, chores and arguing and they feel like episodes within themselves. So, drop me a DM if you’re shy or leave a comment, if you aren’t. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this one and whether you’d like us to make it a series. Here are the questions we cover in this one:

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
