18. Celebrating Women's History Month

*Please be aware that this episode contains sensitive content relating to sexual violence, sexual assault, rape, violence towards women, domestic abuse, and references to blood* It's Women's History Month! In today's episode, we talk about all things womens rights. I give y'all the rundown on some bad bitch women of history that impacted my personal rights and access to things like writing, driving, and mental health treatment. Then, I cover the facts on when women were granted certain rights and freedoms throughout history, which you'll find isn't as distant as we often think it is. Lastly, I give an overview of just a few of the injustices and lack of rights women around the world still face today. This last piece of the podcast contains some sensitive content, so please listen with caution <3 And be sure to keep an eye out on Instagram for prompts for next week's dream episode!

17. Spotlight Sessions with Duane Gull

This episode was a labor of love, y'all... For the first episode in a series I'm calling 'Spotlight Sessions', I sat down and interviewed my grandpa, Duane Gull, about his life story. Our interview lasted all day and by the time I left his house, I had accumulated over 8 hours of recording time. Sadly, when I got around to editing it all a while later, I realized I had recorded our interview on a damaged storage disk and discovered that nearly 4 hours of our interview was missing. While severely disappointed by this, I had plenty of material left to put an episode together, which is what made up todays episode. I hope to have Duane return to the podcast in the future, so we can enjoy more of his storytelling and wisdom.

16. Worst First Dates

Hello!! Thanks for tuning in! This week I fill you in on what I did for Valentine's Day and how that effected the delay in episode delivery last week (whoopsies). There may or may not be a random tangent involving nature documentaries involved at some point. I can't be sure, I hardly ever remember what I said on the episode once I finish recording... But the topic for todays episode is worst first dates, and y'all delivered so fast on stories for this prompt when I posted it on Instagram. They are so so good. That being said, I am so so sorry you had to endure these experiences in order to provide us with a great story, lol. Hope you enjoy! And Happy Belated Valentine's Day!

15. Dating Apps (they may suck, but they sure are entertaining)

The chaos of trying to find a set release day is still alive and well. Thanks for sticking with me! In today's episode I catch you guys up on last weeks missing episode and tease the upcoming "Spotlight Sessions," as well as telling you about my trip to Ensenada, Mexico. Then we get into one of the Valentine's Day topics for this month: dating apps and ridiculous bios/profiles. It's a rollercoaster... so make sure to put on your seatbelt, and keep your arms and legs in the ride at all times. And finally, did you catch how many yawns were yawned in this episode?
