I STILL Don’t Know What’s Going On: Season 3 Finale

October 27, 2023 14:00 - 26 minutes - 18 MB

Don't mind me I'm just in another state of existential anxiety. The season 3 finale begins with a general how am I feeling? Type of check in. September & October can feel like a rough time for me as I anticipate the end of the year. I've been in a “trying my best” type of mood just carrying on with things. I talk about doomscrolling into the rabbit hole of conspiracy theories and manifestation vs goal setting before starting my entertainment roundup of sorts. Survivor 45 is pretty good! A...

How Deep Is Your Knowledge of Astrology? + Reading My Birth Chart

September 22, 2023 14:00 - 34 minutes - 23.9 MB

Sorry I missed last episode guys, Mercury was LITERALLY in retrograde. Plus like, every other planet or something. Today I'll be giving an overview of my understanding of astrology! Our favorite coping mechanism. I wanted to acknowledge my perspective is through tropical astrology and the placidus house system. Recognizing the systems of astrology forming your understanding helps combat the muddy waters of appropriation and losing nuance to social media content made for generalized audienc...

My Top Music and Gaming Picks of 2023 So Far

August 25, 2023 14:00 - 37 minutes - 25.5 MB

Let's revisit the good old times, talking about music and games! On the music side: my opinion on Travis Scott's UTOPIA as an outsider who's never listened to Rodeo or Astroworld, thoughts on some up and coming artists, and take on Kiana Ledé's recent album Grudges. I also ponder who I think could be the top artists on my Spotify Wrapped for 2023, and where I stand on being a "stan" vs a fan of an artist. On the gaming side: my first solo platinum being Cult of the Lamb, and my first plati...

Am I In My Quarter Life Crisis? Blank Slates and Starting Over

August 11, 2023 14:00 - 32 minutes - 22.4 MB

A follow up from the previous episode! Let’s discuss what it’s been like post big chop, breaking my computer and getting a new one, and the transformative energy I’ve been going through lately. What is the lion’s gate portal? I don’t know! I did go on an astrology tangent in this one too. When it comes to recentering myself, I think about short term vs long term goals, and habits to maintain vs things that can be checked off a list. I’m figuring out my creativity and how to approach my cr...

Mid Season Check In: Decluttering, Clearing Space + Why I’m Big Chopping

July 28, 2023 14:00 - 36 minutes - 24.9 MB

Hate your life? Have you tried letting go of the past and trying new habits? (sarcasm) It’s a little over halfway through the year and I find myself questioning my progress on self imposed goals once again. Lately, this has meant rearranging my frequently used spaces after a feng shui learning binge, purging my clothes by donating and selling a bunch, and navigating the guilt that comes with letting go of what didn’t work. I've also made the choice to do the big chop and say goodbye to my...

Mindful Social Media Habits and Setting Boundaries for Yourself

July 14, 2023 14:00 - 32 minutes - 22.5 MB

Doom scrolling leading to high screen time? I've been there. Today, I'm talking about how I've started being more intentional with my time on social media. Being someone who grew up during the inception of social media (hello fellow gen-zers), it's become crucial for me to mute, unfollow, and hit "not interested" on content that keeps me stuck in negative or emotional thought loops. I'll go into my experience as someone exploring self expression through content creation, giving the creator...

What Did We Learn from The Ultimatum: Queer Love Edition?

July 07, 2023 14:00 - 47 minutes - 32.4 MB

I binged a queer reality dating show and it was everything I needed... Until it wasn't. This show was entertaining and had me thinking about my desires in marriage and relationships.  Then it got uncomfortable. The traumas and triggers holding the cast members back from marriage were unavoidable. (content warning, domestic violence is discussed in this episode and shown in The Ultimatum) I couldn't let a certain someone's actions fly under the radar. I try my best to hold abusers accountab...

So here I am, being my authentic self on this platform, without a content strategy. I'm committing to showing up even when my head is spinning from all of the what ifs. Buckle up for Season ...

Why I Quit Being an Indie Artist

May 17, 2022 18:00 - 29 minutes - 20.4 MB

Maybe making music just isn't for me anymore. I've taken down my EP titled YNA from streaming services. Is this the end of Rozarie?   At the time of making this episode, I've decided to transition from trying to present my musical creativity as an artist, to presenting myself as a producer. A person that executes creative vision, without the need for crafting the persona, identity, or personal brand that being an artist requires. This episode is an overview of my musical journey, where I a...

Looking Back at the First Part of Steven Universe

September 14, 2021 16:00 - 42 minutes - 29 MB
