pfeeew... i don't even know where to begin. it has been a wild half a year!

i feel i haven't reflected enough in this episode but i was running out of time, but this season has been so special to me! i don't know how to explain it but season one was more of me getting into the podcasting groove, whereas season two has helped come to term with a lot of things, including this latest phase of my life! a lot of thinking, reconfiguring and reconceptualising who i am, what i feel, understanding the changes and the ways everything ebbs and flows. it has been a true pleasure to have you along with me for six months!

i love and adore you with everything that i have!

with kind and peaceful energy,

here we are again, for our third to last episode! i wanted to reflect on my college experience, being done for at least a couple of years...

i really loved my experience in college, i was able to discover myself, discover what i liked, made friends i still cherished. college helped me navigate my independance, advocating for myself! i will be forever grateful for everything that i learned, whether i cared for it or not, for all the discovery of myself, my interests starting with my thesis.

i hope you're really enjoyed me yapping about my curatorial and art historical interests!

with kind and peaceful energy,

so once again, this episode is a bit late, but i went through a whole reorganisation for my publishing schedule.

anyway, we are officially back for the last few episodes, there is not even that much left in the season but i cannot wrap my mind around being done with season 2, which is not even a topic for today.

this episode is a beautiful one, coming to term with ymself, my own expectations and my own limitations. i am letting go, making room for the new not in an overly positive way but rather because life waits for no one, and especially after today, being fixated on past encounters truly does not hold anything but a sad pitiful nostalgia!

so with kind and peaceful energy, i hope you enjoy this week's episode!

so hi, i have sorta taken a couple of weeks hiatus... it was completely unplanned but at least, now i have planned and recorded episodes!

i think i have been feeling my summertime a bit too much and have lost touch with a lot of routines, communication tools and just have been shite with keeping up.

but that is okay, cause routines are perpetually ebbing and flowing, and the only constant is that routines will get thrown away and picked up again!

so i hope you can still enjoy this episode, albeit a couple weeks late!

with loving energy,

welcome back!

today's episode is sort of an update from last week, couple with some reflection i've been having and how i can understand more.

i want to be at awe with the world again, raveinous for more knowledge, more experience and more growth. not necessarily in a toxic way rather in using that as a way to show up for myself, to become more because i deserve to be more, i deserve to fulfill the needs i have, the hopes i aspire to.

perhaps that will inspire you too, i do hope you enjoyed this episode, it was quite an unexpected gem and i loved how it turned out!

i am back to you from France!

those have been weird times, a lot of adjusting but then also it hasn't been half as bad as i thought it was!

i am coming to you with a new episode dabling around the themes of Paris, and as i write, i realise i haven't even described what Paris feels like to me. Paris to me is freedom, is talking overcrowded transportation, which definitely isn't the best but it's meeting up with friends, it's walking on and about in the city, people watching. it's just feeling instantly relieved when i get into the city, it's about cheap drinks. more than that, Paris to me is really feeling like i belong.

i hope you enjoy this episode!

all my love,

marion x

ooh.. this one is going to hurt.

this is my love letter to Dublin. a city i have learned to love and which taught so many things like the ephemerality of lifetime's friendhsips, the patience to extend as things rarely turn out the way you want them, when you want them. but also that there is always something new around the corner and so so so much fun to be had! i wish for everyone to feel life making its way to you and finding your own little corner of earth and being content and happy with who you are!

so this particular episode i dedicate to my friends, who have made my stay in Dublin the best i could've ever hope for...

to Paula, Louisa, Heleen, Elijah, Henry, Ramsford, Tori, Hannah, Lauren, and everyone else; thank you, I love you!

all my love,

this one is random af. i have been juggling with so much lately, and getting all those episodes sorted was a lot!

but they are out, or will be in the upcoming week, as i quietly make my way through my last few weeks. so this one is uncomplicated, easy peezy and nothing but vibes.

thereis no theme, just pieces media i have been enjoying and thought you might to!

wooooh! this one is a long one!

but it was only fitting seeing that i hosted my first ever guest on the podcast!

Mabinty is my oldest friend and the closest too. like we talk about in the podcast, our love and friendship really informs and infuses the way we interact with other people (whether friends, lover or even family). i just think that in the society we live in friendships inform so much of the way behave, interact and grow as human being; discussions that I've had before with Mabinty and thought it only fair to share it with you.

this one is definitely a bit different and longer than usual, but I hope you hold space to receive it!

all my love,

this episode is definitely a more calm and significant one. if it's too much please feel free to skip it, next week's episode will be not be as "dark".

it felt really nice to record, very calm and allowed me to truly give thoughts to the behavior i exhibited when i was burdened with grief in 2019.

i hope those songs, shows, movie and book can help you whenever you found yourself grieving next (unfortunately, it is always a question of when).

thank you for letting me take this space to talk about such a sad subject, and also per usual make it a reflection on how beautiful life is and how precious our moments on earth are!

all my love,

this one is so bittersweet. navigating how much i've overcome and the growth i've displayed over the course of 2 years really soothed my heart!

i really did not have this conclusion in mind when i first started writing, but at the end it became so obvious. the power that i hold, that we all hold and just the potential of it all.

i hope this episode ignited something in you, that you discovered a bit more about yourself while introspecting, that you feel like you're in a place to sincerely loving yourself or just thzt you liked the music i presented to you! regardless, this episode will always be special!

hope you have a great week!
