Leslea

S2e7

Talking about recovering from an anxiety/induced fatigue, starting a new business, writing, and anything else that crosses my mind.

A big announcement, writing updates, a Poshmark haul, and feeling comfortable in your skin (literally!) for my GenX Silver Sisters. Stationhead? I love Roots, Canada.

Another episode of driving around on Monday and thinking out loud. I cut off about 15 minutes of chatter because I thought the stuff at the end about jobs and money was more relevant. How have you been affected financially so far in 2025? #genx #retirementplanning #us #federalemployees #finances

Talk to me, Goose

I have been so sad this week trying to come to terms with what the future will look like for the US.

January 2025 updateNow that Amp has ended, a lot of what would've been my podcast energy (before Amp) has started to stack up. I have done shows once in a while on Stationhead, but I really feel like the podcast format is better for me. I will miss being able to play music to go along with my theme , but this format of driving and talking to the phone about my thoughts is very familiar and more comforting. So, welcome back to my personal journal, a.k.a. the Leslea show. Since this app records video, I will also be uploading to YouTube.

Today is a nice dose of pleasant quietude. Here's what's new with *some* (not all) of our H-T gang. (Hopefully Sean & Seamus will check in with old Mom soon.) Oh, and my incessant complaining about PBS's paywall.

With this episode we are back to the journal stuff, and away from the book promo stuff. It felt really good to get this off my chest. Thanks for listening. I hope if you're struggling with the loss of a relationship and the grief that comes with it, that this will make you feel less alone. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/leslea/message

This week I had a chat with my friend Diem, who I met on Guild Wars 2. Listen in as we discuss a bunch of different stories that, in retrospect, mostly have something to do with hair... Note: this was recorded before I knew of the protests across the US.  Funny to think that Covid-19 was the biggest deal a week ago...
