Hi Barbie, I am Angry!

Season 1, Ep. 12

I'm in my Barbie era! It's the summer of embracing all things girlhood and so why am I full of such female rage?! Recently, I've experienced intimidation, sexualisation and sexual harassment and simply being a girl has been weighing me down. Listen as I unpack the last chaotic week or so and of course, talk a bit about Barbie.

    I PASSED MY DRIVING TEST!!! It only took me five years… In this episode I tell you all about my driving disasters and anxieties. I wanted people who, like me, have struggled learning to drive or decided to give up on driving to feel less alone as I know there’s a huge expectation to have a license and get a car! Driving isn't for everyone, but if you want it to be for you, hopefully this gives you the push you need to not give up!Recommendations - MusicThe Tortured Poets Department - Taylor SwiftRecommendations - TV/FilmIt’s a Sin - NetflixRecommendations - Products47Skin Serum - https://47skin.com/products/anti-blemish-scar-repair-serumJoin our book club here: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GeEpq65ycD2KCZ2g8uJVJWFollow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/laughnowcrylaterpodWatch over on Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@laughnowcrylaterpod@laughnowcrylaterpodSong used: Suncatcher by Wendy Marcini

  • New year, new me

    38:42
    “For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the courage to start all over again.”― F.
