Podcasts about IRL

IDFA DocLab is the immersive selection of non-fiction digital and immersive stories that is a part of the International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam (IDFA), and they're having their 19th selection this year. DocLab founder Caspar Sonnen has been doing an amazing job of tracking the frontiers of new forms of digital, interactive, and immersive storytelling since 2007, and he joined me along with his co-curator Nina van Doren to talk about the ten pieces within the DocLab Competition for Immersive Non-Fiction as well as the nine pieces within the DocLab Competition for Digital Storytelling as well as portions of their DocLab Spotlight as well as the DocLab at the Planetarium: Down to Earth program, DocLab Playroom prototype sessions as well as the DocLab R&D Summit. In trying to describe the types of immersive art and storytelling works that DocLab curates, then they have started to use the term "Perception Art" in order to describe the types of pieces and work that they're featuring. This year's theme is "Off the Internet," which speaks to both the types of works that critique and analyze the impacts of online culture on our lives, but also taking projects that were born on the Internet and giving them an IRL physical installation art context to view them. I'll be on site seeing the selection of works and also be interviewing various artists who are on the frontiers of experimentation for these new forms of "perception art." This is a listener-supported podcast through the Voices of VR Patreon. Music: Fatality

NXIVM is back in the headlines after Allison Mack's new podcast — but for survivors like Sarah Edmondson, the story never ended.She was one of the faces of The Vow on HBO — the woman who blew the whistle on NXIVM's “self-help” empire that turned into a full-blown notorious cult.This episode is about what happened after the escape: healing from coercive control, rebuilding trust, and learning to believe your own voice again.Sarah opens up about the psychological hangover of leaving NXIVM — how fear, shame, and identity unravel once the system is gone.We unpack what freedom looks like after indoctrination, how cultish behavior shows up in everyday systems, and the slow process of learning safety again.It's a conversation about resilience, humor, and the long road back to self-trust.If you haven't heard Part 1 yet, here you go! https://podcast.allisonhare.com/post/274What You Will Learn:How Sarah Edmondson escaped the NXIVM cult and what freedom really looked likeThe psychology of coercive control and how to spot it earlyWhy rebuilding trust is the hardest part after leaving a cultHow cult dynamics show up in modern coaching and wellness spacesHow to protect your agency without losing your sense of belongingResources MentionedPodcast: A Little Bit Culty hosted by Sarah Edmondson & Nippy AmesPre-Order new book: A Little Bit CultyThe Vow (HBO docuseries)Scarred by Sarah Edmondson (book)Sarah Edmondson's website – sarahedmondson.comNotable Quotables (from Sarah Edmondson)“I see a woman who's trying to right a wrong.” (02:20)“When you're in a cult, you don't think you're in a cult.” (13:34)“Black-and-white thinking is culty thinking.” (11:58)“Freedom isn't a moment. It's a practice.” (Paraphrased version you had before — confirmed not verbatim, remove it.)Instead, use: “Leaving NXIVM was the easy part. Healing after was the work.” (09:33)“If you're in a group and your gut tells you something's off — and the leader says you're in resistance — leave.” (27:49)“You can go on a seeking journey and want to better yourself, but you're already whole.” (28:42)Timestamps0:00 Intro – NXIVM returns to headlines3:50 What it took to finally walk away10:42 The aftershock of coercive control17:05 Rebuilding trust and identity24:55 Modern cult behavior in everyday life32:20 Freedom, humor, and healingTakeawaysFreedom after control starts with reclaiming your intuition.Coercive systems don't end with cult leaders — they live in every space that punishes dissent.Recovery isn't linear — it's relearning trust one choice at a time.

Big Brother is back for 2025, and we were lucky to get an IRL sneak peek at the house before the housemates were sent in. Here’s what you won’t see on TV (and our favourite housemates so far).Plus, Hilary Duff has released new music for the first time in 10 years, but how have her fans received it, and who is the famous ex-boyfriend we think she’s singing about? Allow us to explain everything.And in the press run for her new album, Hilary said she’s ready to talk about ‘family drama’, which we believe means her long-running feud with sister Haylie Duff, whom she has not spoken to in years.

This year, Clotheshorse all star, Maggie Greene (The Halloween Queen) embarked on an epic international, cross-country adventure that she called The Tragic Optimist Tour.  Along the way, she recorded conversations with the people she visited, eventually turning them into a new podcast called ATTN: Confidential.  And of course, she and Amanda had to record a conversation together…but with a twist: For the first half of the session, she interviewed Amanda. For the second part, Amanda interviewed Maggie.  This week's episode is part 2 of the conversation, where Amanda interviewed Maggie.  You can listen to part 1 here.This conversation follows the format of ATTN: Confidential: self-awareness, curiosity, and advocacy in a safe container. Those three themes are expressed as the Mirror, the Magnifying Glass, and the Megaphone.

On this season of Live Vedanta, we're distilling the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita into its 70 essential verses. In Essential Verse 3 (Chapter 2, Verse 7), we explore the theme of fearlessness as Arjuna, overwhelmed by the thought of war, turns to Divinity for clarity and guidance. When we admit that relying solely on intellect hasn't shown us our purpose, we open ourselves to spiritual growth by becoming humble disciples.➡️ To maximize your experience of this season, we encourage you to request your FREE copy of the Essential Love eBook. Incorporating accessible translations and practical application, the eBook accompanies each episode with additional ways to learn, synthesize, and reflect on key insights.

On this episode we dive deep into Glif. This beginner tutorial shows how AI agents on Glif automatically optimize prompts and workflows to create scroll-stopping content. We demo four agents live: Mr. Beast-style thumbnails, miniature documentaries, AI influencer videos, and automated Reddit story content. Total cost: $2. Timestamps: 00:00 – Intro 03:35 – Nano Banana Ultimate 08:53 – Diorama Shorts Creator 15:49 – AI Influencer Generator 23:27 – TikTok Reddit Story Creator 32:28 – Conclusion and Final Thoughts Key Frameworks: The ACP Funnel (Audience → Community → Product) Build businesses in this order: First create an Audience with storytelling/content (use creative AI here), then build a Community with paid memberships or IRL events, then create a Product to sell to them. This gives you the highest probability of success. Modern Social Strategy: 1 Brand + 10 People Old way: 1 brand account on multiple platforms. New way: 1 brand account + 10 different people accounts (real and AI influencers) across platforms. If 1-2 of 10 pop off, you win. Four Demos Shown: Nano Banana Ultimate: Redesigned thumbnail Mr. Beast-style with proper aspect ratios, high contrast, exaggerated expressions—got 3 variants that couldn't be achieved with regular Nano Banana Miniature Documentary Creator: Created 40-second tilt-shift video about Facebook IPO in ~5 minutes using Seadream, WAN 2.2, 11Labs—includes research, script, voiceover, animations, period music, and subtitles (agencies charge thousands; this cost $0.40) AI Influencer Generator: Generated 35-year-old woman in tennis clothing using Quen Realism and OmniHuman—creates realistic talking head videos for brand representative accounts or video ads at zero production cost Reddit Story Automation: Scraped r/SaaS for story about developer building $1M SaaS through Reddit, generated educational 60-second video with voiceover, Pexels stock footage, and subtitles—enables faceless content channels (example cited: 67% of customers from Reddit, zero CAC) Key Insight: AI agents get you 80% there but you still need to be the creative director, push agents to create better scripts, expect to iterate, and manually review for character consistency and details.

TGIF! This week on Everything Is Content... a viral article, chaotic reality TV and rumours of yet another celebrity face lift.First up, if you've not read Chanté Joseph's mega viral Vogue article titled Is Having A Boyfriend Embarrassing Now? then you've definitely seen the discourse. Julia Fox has weighed in (she says it is) and now it's our turn. We ask: what did we make of the piece, do we think this is an IRL phenomenon or strictly an online shift, and what do we think is behind it?Secondly we're back in LA LA land for a brand new series of Selling Sunset. Ruchira finished it in 3 days, Beth in 2 and we're all obsessed. We discuss the inherent toxicity of reality TV, this series' houses and whether we like seeing behind the curtain on these kind of shows.And last but not least, rumours of cosmetic surgery have been swirling around Emma Stone for the last few months and people are feeling a type of way about it. But is that fair? Can we reasonably feel disappointed when our fav female stars decide to opt out of growing older naturally or is it simply none of our business?Thank you SO much for listening this week and every week. Pleeease could you gift us a review on your podcast player app so other people can find us? We adore everyone who has already. Love O, R, B xoxoxIn partnership with Cue Podcasts.------This week Beth was not really loving Think Again by Jacqueline Wilson (though she remains a lifelong devotee and fan), Oenone was loving Zadie Smith's appearance on Adam Buxton's podcast and Ruchira was loving Rosalía's interview on Popcast and season 2 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.The New York Times - Shibboleth Vogue - Is Having A Boyfriend Embarrassing Now?Substack - is having a boyfriend embarrassing now? yes and that's why we're hiding them Spotify - Call Her Daddy x Spencer Pratt Substack - I Feel Sad About Emma Stone's New Face Timestamps:15:00: Is Having A Boyfriend Embarrassing Now?41:41 Selling Sunset57:37: Emma Stone's face Hosted on Acast.

If you think you'd never fall for a cult, think again.The NXIVM cult didn't lure the weak — it attracted smart, curious, ambitious people looking for growth and belonging. People just like us.And right in the middle of it was Sarah Edmondson, a high-ranking member who helped blow it wide open in The New York Times and HBO's The Vow.In this conversation, we unpack how something that looked like empowerment turned into manipulation — and how the need to belong can become a weapon.Sarah shares what actually happened inside NXIVM, how coercive control disguised itself as “self-improvement,” and the exact moment she realized she was part of something dark.We talk about the psychology that keeps smart people compliant, the power structures that mirrored everyday life, and what breaking free really cost her.It's part cult exposé, part human study — and all about reclaiming your voice when someone else has tried to own it.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeHow the NXIVM cult disguised coercive control as personal growthThe psychology of belonging and why smart people get trappedThe moment Sarah Edmondson decided to blow it all openHow language and hierarchy keep people obedient without forceWhat the NXIVM story teaches us about modern cults and powerResources MentionedPodcast: A Little Bit Culty hosted by Sarah Edmondson & Nippy AmesPre-Order new book: A Little Bit CultyThe Vow (HBO docuseries)Scarred by Sarah Edmondson (book)Sarah Edmondson's website – sarahedmondson.com Quotes (from Sarah Edmondson)“Cults don't prey on weakness — they prey on hope.” 09:2409:2409:24“I didn't wake up and think, ‘Oh God, I'm in a cult.'

IRL > URL every time. Living in a digital world  designed to reward our "engagement" has led to a reduction in attention span, memory and concentration. If you're feeling  anxious, disinterested, restless and mentally exhausted, it's a symptom of popcorn brain. Time to stop doom scrolling and make the changes I discuss in this episode. In our "always on" digitally forward world, devices endlessly interrupt us with notifications triggering the reward systems in our brain and conditioning us to feel an urgent need to respond. Despite having access to an infinite amount of data, algorithms have narrowed our awareness and placed us in echo chambers that only affirm what we already know or worry about. Technology didn't give us more free time, it led to us taking on more work. Attention fatigue sets in when our mental resources are drained by constant interruptions. This makes us less available for tasks that require focused attention and more prone to rote activities that keep us engaged but not challenged - I'm looking at you doom scroller! Stop the pop by taking a digital detox, turning of notifications and prioritizing physical tasks. Doing IRL activities mindfully and engaging all five senses will help restore attention and focus.

Today, Ali talks to Ashtin, who opens up about her long road through infertility, including doing IVF treatment in both Greece and Australia. Ashtin talks about trying to get pregnant for two years, navigating four failed cycles, and then, how she ultimately conceived using the PherDal at-home insemination kit — a non-invasive, science-backed option that helped her finally become pregnant with a healthy baby. Ashtin opens up about all of it, from the countless injections to the travel to being both emotionally and financially drained. She also shares how, after listening to the Infertile AF podcast and hearing an ad for PherDal (and hearing founder Jenn on another episode), she decided to try it -- and crazily enough, it worked!For more on PherDal, go to pherdal.com IG: @pherdal_science EPISODE SPONSORS: THERALOGIXIG: @theralogixTheralogix offers evidence-based, physician-founded supplements designed to support reproductive health, from egg and sperm quality to prenatal wellness and beyond.

Warrior woman, welcome back to the mic girl. It's been a hot minute since we hung out, and today I wanna go deep with you on something that's holding so many women back in their health, their training, and their lives: the 'checklist era'. You know her. The macros. The reps. The Zone 2. The rules. The never-ending to-do list of what to eat, how to train, and when to sleep. But here's the truth girl: checklists don't build bodies. Systems do. In this EP, I break down what strategy actually means, why it's the missing link in your training and nutrition, and how to build a system that actually fits your life. I talk through the 3 identity shifts you need to make to move from exhausted and stuck to powerful and consistent. And I tell you exactly what I teach inside Warrior School when it comes to becoming a woman who can hold the body and the life she wants. So grab a coffee, go for a walk, and let's hang out. IN THIS EPISODE I BREAK DOWN: Why we cling to checklists when we feel overwhelmed, tired, or stuck The biggest identity shift I had to make (that changed everything) What an elegant strategy actually looks like (hint: it's not a plan) The four pillars of every powerful strategy How to move from reactive to resilient Why doing more isn't the answer—but holding more is 3 BIG IDENTITY SHIFTS TO BECOME THE WOMAN WHO HOLDS MORE From checklists to systems: Becoming the woman who trains with strategy (not just ticking boxes) From just showing up to execution: Learning to execute at the level required for the results you want From reacting to adapting: Building the skill of pivoting, not pausing, when life gets messy POWERFUL QUOTES FROM THE EPISODE "You don't become a badass by doing more. You become a badass by learning how to hold more." "Checklists live in isolation. Systems talk to each other." "Everything you've done so far has gotten you here. But becoming her? That's a whole new identity." "Execution is doing the right thing, the right way, at the right time—at the level required for the results you want." "If you're still stuck, it's not because you're lazy. It's because no one taught you how to build a system that fits your life." NEXT STEPS

Well, there's no way around it: the very first feature is about Black activism, written by a white author (Kim) who gets no help from her editor on how not to sound tone-deaf as she describes being judged by the color of her skin or feeling unwelcome in Black spaces. So let's quickly dispense with it and move on to the rest. Karen finds three couples to talk about their couplehood. Amy Turner -- who checks in from the present day, because she's Pam's friend IRL -- visits Antarctica. Everyone on staff shares their stress relief tips. Plus: foods that trigger headaches, Danielle from Niagara Falls quoting J.D. Salinger at Stuff You Wrote, Ian Ziering on dating girls his parents didn't like, how atheism Happened to this month's Me, and more! Draw a soothing bath and listen! QUICK LINKS

Jimmy Kite crashed four times—four!—trying to qualify for the 1998 Indy 500. The story of how he finally made the show holds bad luck and trashed cars but also a hidden concussion, a giant fireball, an airborne gearbox, and a fat dose of can-do spirit. Plus: INTC co-host Jeff Braun! Jeff was Kite's chief engineer that year. So we brought Jimmy onto the show and asked him and Jeff to tell the whole tale.Kite was a 22-year-old sprint-car kid from Missouri who came up on dirt and had just been crowned 1997 USAC Silver Crown Rookie of the Year. A year before the Speedway, he had never driven a downforce car. And Jeff… well, Jeff was impressed!***IN THIS EP: That big, sexy fireball — A nervous mother — Jeff explaining suspension heave re: downforce — Dallara's IRL monoshock — A red-hot differential aiming for low-Earth orbit — Jeff running somebody out of gas — TV announcers joking, on-air, that a 22-year-old driver looks 15 — Jeff looking happy on TV — and more!This show's format rotates weekly, because squirrel.

We all know Bethany Montoya as HumanRDH on social media. Advocate for all that is right and fair in the world of dental hygiene. She holds no prisoners when it comes to her quick responses and realtalk vibes. Today, I get to sit down with her IRL and learn more about the journey that inspired her to advocate so loudly. She talks about how she found her way into dental hygiene, the challenges she faced during school, and the reality of balancing her education with everyday life. She shares honest thoughts on pay, benefits, and the culture inside dental practices, along with how mentorship and saying “yes” to opportunities shaped her career. We chat about: ▪️ Her view of patient care has grown, and the lessons she's carried with her along the way. ▪️ The twists and challenges that shaped Bethany's path into dental hygiene. ▪️ How she managed the balance between school, work, and personal life. ▪️ Real conversations about pay, benefits, and the culture inside dental practices. ▪️ The value of mentors and what can happen when you say “yes” to new opportunities. ▪️ How her outlook on how professional growth has changed over time.   If you're curious about what it takes to build a meaningful career in dental hygiene or just need some encouragement to keep pushing forward this conversation is full of stories and insights worth hearing.   Connect with Bethany: Instagram → @humanrdh _____________________________________________________ If you made it all the way down here, hit a like and share a comment.  Until next time, Peace out peeps! ✌️ _______________________________________  

Songwriting duo that started collaborating in 2011.IRL, Kicks, Little Did I, Tonite, It Should've Been Me and My Heart Glows were some of the songs written in less than two weeks after launching the project. They were used as building blocks for ‘4-Groups R Out', Yoyo xno's first collection of recorded tracks.Yoyo xno did a very low key gig at ‘the Barn' after finishing work on ‘4-Groups R Out' . Some footage from ‘the Barn' ended up in the video for IRL which was the first official release of our work. To begin with our songs were only available through our own streaming portal on the original website and you needed a username and password in order to listen to them. We sent out about a hundred postcards to people in the music industry with no instructions as how to navigate on the website that didn't have any buttons, but you could click here and there to go places. Not many took their time to explore this, but some did and responded back. The site is constructed so that your username and password cease to work when you log out, but we haven't said that to anyone until now, almost ten years later. That's how we know if someone actually listened as the username and password drop out of our list.The website and streaming portal became a fun thing afterwards as we started placing business cards with username and password in public places all over the world. Sometimes we would place a card between the pages of a book in a book store, or library, and sometimes they were placed in full view on a coffee shop table or similar. After a year or so we started social media accounts and decided to take pictures of the cards when they were placed and then publish the pictures on Facebook with clues as of where in the world the card was. Our idea here was to create an interactive thing between the real world and the Internet. (Long before Pokemon Go, but with credit to people we knew interested in geo catching.) The business card thing came to an end in 2020 as the Corona pandemic hit the world. We're not sure whether we'll start it up again further on.The single Goin' Out is taken from the second project ‘What Goes Down Must Come Up' and was the first song released on all major streaming services. As this journey continues more songs are being released at the major digital stores.

This is a super emotional and raw episode that was meant to be just about the residency. I have some difficult family news and an influx of texts from my parents during the recording of this episode that triggered me and I decided to leave it all in so you actually know what's going on in my life. I don't think I've ever been this vulnerable online before, but if you're a diasporic black sheep or cycle breaker you'll definitely understand what's going on for me in this episode.*Residency Progress Update* $200 earned out of a total needed of $4,215.6**Still remaining to earn: $4,015.60**$4,216 is what I need to pay to fulfill the program fee, but doesn't include flight prices or what I would need to save up to pay for my bills for a month out of work.

If you know Gary Thompson, formerly known as The Plastic Boy, you're in for such a treat with this episode because Gary shares on everything.In this episode the content creator and makeup expert talks about why he began creating videos over 15 years ago on Youtube, why he called himself the Plastic Boy and why he chooses to be so transparent and open when it comes to his use of fillers and hair transplants, including his recent moustache transplant. I can't remember how long I've followed Gary, but I do know why I follow him; he's one of the most charismatic and sweet humans you could encounter online, and he's exactly the same in real life - he's not one of those weirdo influencers that will talk to you online and then stare at you blankly when you meet them IRL.Gary also shares on his early inspirations, how his Nan was the first family member to discover he was wearing makeup and how his family has always been accepting of his sexuality.He also shares some thoughtful insights on social media, especially being a dark skin black man working in the very white woman-focused world of beauty, as well as why he believes you should never clap back and of course he talks about the beauty brands he loves.LinksFollow Gary on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/garythompsonFollow Gary on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@ThePlasticBoyFollow Gary on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@garythompsonWHERE TO FIND MESubstack: https://thecharissereport.substack.comThreads: https://www.threads.net/@charisse_kenion/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/charisse_kenion/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@charissekenionCheck me out on ShopMy: https://shopmy.us/beautymeBusiness inquiries: info@charissekenion.com

All across the Elevana League, pilgrims leave their homes and travel over great distances towards the city of Cenn, determined to meet with the only member of the Ennead who deigns to walk amongst their worshippers. As a matter of propriety and faith, what transpires between Castine and his believers is largely kept between the embodiment of metal and his visitors. But it is not uncommon to see echoes of the conversations in the life that follows. Greater confidence. Lesser cruelty. A new found curiosity. When you walk your lap with the Living Metal, it is said, you may find yourself newly tempered. This week on Perpetua: A Roar Across Cenn 03 Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.05] Some Feedback [Page 22 of 24] Alukard83 What do you think you'd ask Castine if you could walk with him? FriendOfNei You actually can if you get the right answers during the Temple Infiltration. But that's a good question, I'll load my backup save and try to update the FAQ soon with as many answers as I can get from him soon! Alukard83 Oh thanks. But I meant in real life. Like would you ask about the future or about the past or maybe about some secret only he would know? TheDiamondRanger I'd ask him where the ultimate weapons are! TheUnforgivenIII Wow, a rare good question from Reverse Dracula. I think I'd ask about my grandparents (mom's side). Never really got to know them. XxZelgadyskXx I don't know that Castine knows about stuff like that. He seems more into like, statues and shovels and things made of metal. XD Alukard83 I mean he's a God right? God is omni-scient, so he'd have to know about things like TUIII's grandparents. Even if we just meant in Perpetua and not IRL, he could watch them from like… candle sticks and forks and stuff right.  CarlsJr god doesn't exist lol Doom_Tree_Anne I think it's a good question, Alukard83! From what I've read, it's not clear what exactly Castine (or God, if she DOES exist, I'm agnostic) can or can't do. Sure, there's clearly a lot of miraculous and powerful stuff that happens in the story (game and IRL religions). But there are always limits, right? Like how Castine couldn't see into the Hexcloak office because Aegir did that trick with the light and with Caoimhe's sword, or how in real life, a supposedly benevolent (that means kind and loving) God lets bad things happen to people. But that doesn't mean that they aren't loving. Just that they aren't actually all powerful. A lot like us. Anyway I thought it was a good question so I wrote a fic about it over on the Creative Writing board. If you search for “Walking In Iron Shoes” you should be able to find it. Let me know what you think n.n;;; TheDiamondRanger What's a fic???

This week I sat down with Paige Goldstein, founder of The Ripple Effect and co-host of Fill Your Sol Podcast, to explore what it means to build a personal brand rooted in self-awareness and authenticity. Paige shares her journey pivoting out of corporate and becoming a digital nomad (it's not always as glamorous as it seems), and offers insights on how to use social media as a tool for connection rather than comparison. We also talk about how consciousness influences how we show up IRL and digitally, what it means to use be an 'authentic storyteller' online, and how Paige defines happiness.

Why the Digital Space Feels Slower and What Wise Founders Do About It before it's too late....But first, grab my ICONIQUE GUIDE HERE!Okay sis, let's talk.Because if it feels like something's off in the online space right now... you're not imagining it.Like — you're showing up, posting the content, doing the work, trying to stay positive and obedient and keep the needle moving... but the engagement is flat, the sales feel softer, and honestly? It's just weird out here.And if you've caught yourself thinking:“Is it just me?”“Did I lose my spark?”“Is this even working anymore?”...I need you to hear this: You're not broken. The space is shifting.In this episode, I'm being super honest about what I've been hearing behind the scenes...From my high-level clientsFrom women in my mastermindFrom voice notes, DMs, IRL convos at events...And the pattern is clear:Even the seasoned, strategic, been-doing-this-for-years women are saying it's slower.We get into:The economy and why your audience is more hesitant — not because they're mean, but because they literally have less margin.The trust gap that's grown from years of marketing over-promising and under-delivering.And the real opportunity that comes when most people back out, but you decide to plant deeper and lead better.This isn't about hustle harder or pretending it's all okay.This is about being honest and smart.This is about NOT SPIRALING!!!So if your content feels like it's falling flat...If you're doing all the right things but it still doesn't feel aligned...If you feel like you're carrying your business solo and questioning whether you're even called to grow it this big...This episode is the mirror moment you didn't know you needed.

Sweater season has arrived for many of us, so let's revisit a favorite episode from last 2023!Dani of Picnicwear joins Amanda to explain why (most) new sweaters are low quality, (near) future garbage (instead of future vintage).  It's a complicated tale of synthetic blends, increasing margin targets, and lower prices.  We'll explain how the fast fashion industry has kept prices low and profits high by swapping out yarns, cutting out details, and making copies of copies, while walking through the design process of most big retailers/brands. We will unpack why it's really difficult to find sweaters made of natural fibers.Amanda will explain how natural fibers aren't the "cure" for the impact of overconsumption.We will give you advice about how to choose the right sweater (hint: read those content labels).Dani will give you advice about how to care for your sweaters properly. We were inspired by Amanda Mull's piece for The Atlantic, Your Sweaters Are Garbage.

You've probably thought about writing a memoir — that secret urge to turn your mess, your milestones, or your middle-of-the-night realizations into something real. Then the voices start: Who am I to write a book? My story isn't big enough. I don't have time. This episode is for every overthinker who's stopped themselves mid-dream. Because the truth? The story you think is too ordinary might be the one that changes someone's life.Fan-favorite Cindy Robinson is back, and she's living proof that writing a memoir isn't about perfection — it's about liberation. Her new book Maladaptive Daydreams is a poetic reflection of what it means to unmask, make peace with your own story, and write without performing. We talk about how writing can heal identity confusion, what happens when you stop writing for approval, and why “ordinary” moments make the most extraordinary connection.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeThe surprising emotional benefits of writing a memoirHow to stop over-editing yourself and write without performingWhy ordinary, honest details connect more than polished perfectionWhat memoir writing teaches you about identity and healingHow to start your memoir even if you feel unqualified or unsureResources MentionedCindy Robinson's books: Maladaptive Daydreams and Bright Girl Lacks Focuscindyrobinsonllc.comFollow Cindy on Instagram: @cindyrobinsonllcTake the Podcast Personality Quiz: allisonhare.com/personalityBook a free clarity call: allisonhare.com/freecallMemorable Quotes“You shouldn't write a memoir because you think you're special — you should write one because you're honest.” — Cindy Robinson (17:31)“Memoirs aren't about finishing the arc.
