The Playbook For Life, Featuring Tim Besch

WellnessDecember 6, 20200Comments

You know when you meet someone, and instantly just feel you’ll have a connection with them forever? Courtesy of the Author Yeah, that wasn’t the case with Tim… he was fine – average, really. Kind of bland personality, real monotone sounding, not funny at all. But then he started really ingratiating himself into the Judd Apatow…

My Gratitude

UncategorizedNovember 29, 20200Comments

I’m grateful that I allow myself time to create because I love to. I’m grateful for the large cup of coffee, oat milk, and honey that I make for myself every morning, not only because it tastes great, but because it keeps my bowel movements consistent. I’m grateful for name-brand toilet paper because the bullshit…

We Are One (Thanksgiving Edition) – with Marney Henze

UncategorizedNovember 26, 20200Comments

Who better to interview for Thanksgiving week than Marney Henze? That’s a rhetorical question, obviously… Marney is one of my favorite people and I’m beyond flattered she sat down to share a snippet of her story with us, because she’s truly a beacon of light. We “met” in eighth grade, and by met, I mean…

Kidz Bop & Quantum Physics, featuring Arielle Dettmer

UncategorizedNovember 22, 20200Comments

I connected with Arielle on the Girlboss platform last month about our love for dance; she, however, had a much different trajectory than I did with the sport, which you’ll learn about in our interview. Arielle is currently double majoring in dance and health science at Chapman University and naturally, would like to pursue a…

Time For Greatness featuring Ross Bautista

UncategorizedNovember 15, 20200Comments

I’ve gone back and forth about the importance of identifying the relationship between the interviewer and the interviewee… is it important to know whether there’s a connection? Whether they’ve known each other for a while? And for how long? Ultimately, after reading an Issa Rae interview between her and a close friend, I decided…

What a Biden | Harris Win Means to Us

UncategorizedNovember 8, 20200Comments

As I sit here recalling the consistent oscillation of emotions experienced between 5 pm on November 3rd through 9:26 am on November 7th, from heightened nerves to inflated confidence, from heavy anxiety to deep sadness, and a healthy amount of tears, I finally feel overwhelmed with relief, gratitude, and sincere hope for our future. That…

Lights, Camera, Fedora, featuring Brandon Caraco

UncategorizedOctober 31, 20200Comments

Brandon and I go way back… specifically, to October 3rd, 2020, when we met on the set of ‘Bat Girl at War’ – a short fan film we were selected to star in by the lovely Alexzander Rogers. He put on his green Riddler costume and I could tell he was born to play a…

Calling All Vulva Owners, by Rae Kennedy

WellnessOctober 25, 20200Comments

I was about five years old when I pulled at a loose thread dangling from the edge of my underwear. It must have ended somewhere along my vulva because when I tugged to remove it, it tickled the whole way out and I felt a tingling sensation I’d never felt before. I'm not sure I…

How Pleasure Brought Me Shame

WellnessOctober 23, 20200Comments

It was roughly 2 am when I felt the shame swim through my body like I was slowly being poisoned; I could sense this devastating heat pulse through every fiber of my being as I wiped away the hot tears, my bottom lip quivering. I let the street lights guide my pink and white Vans…

I’m Not in Kansas Anymore – by Julia Briars

UncategorizedOctober 19, 20200Comments

Moving to South Korea was the hardest thing I ever did. I’d never been so far away from home for such a long period of time. I assume it would have been easier if I were in a larger city like Seoul, but I was placed in a very small town called Yeongam in the…

Confessions of a 23-Year-Old Suffering from Depression, by Dylan Zawicki

WellnessOctober 12, 20200Comments

"WHAT DID YOU TAKE!?! WHAT DID YOU TAKE??!!" I heard my mom shouting repeatedly as I woke up in a fog, despite my best efforts to end it all. I’d consumed 350 Advil, 70 Propranolol, a pack of Claritin, and an entire bottle of NyQuil, followed up by two gram-sized dabs of wax, and a…

Skin Wealth featuring Caitlin Teich

UncategorizedOctober 5, 20200Comments

Smarmo. It’s the name I gave the zit on my chin. Sometimes, when I’m really put off by a breakout, I’ll give it a name and welcome it into our home. “Hello, Smarmo,” I’ll smile in the mirror with my chin tilted up to get a nice visual, “I’ll make sure to be a…
