Today’s episode unpacks the now-deleted post from Low Brow Casual Restaurant, who should probably change their name to Low Blow. Besides this issue, I share how you can obtain a PWD ID, who qualifies, and what bigger concerns face us in this mandated system that’s supposed to look out for people living differently.

This week’s episode is a voiceover of my birthday essay for this year, along with an introduction to my creative process when I write and where I took inspiration from in writing this post. As I graduate from my early 20s, I talk about how much life gets better when you keep showing up.
I promise I tried my best not to sound angry lol but in this episode, I dissect Liezl Chu’s self-help advice directed at fat women (like herself) since it went viral and led to mixed opinions among different creators. I talk about which points ring true (such as how slim women are favored more than overweight ones) and which points spew utter BS that we need to collectively unlearn. I also discuss the importance of setting goals that are grounded on one’s intrinsic motivation more than extrinsic motivation.

Online communities have become an avenue for people to seek emotional support, and the internet turns into a public jury that determines whether what we are feeling is valid or not. While this can be helpful, focusing on how valid our feelings are in the eyes of others can get in the way of trusting our own judgment. On this episode, I share some introspective questions you can ask yourself instead of, ‘Are my feelings valid?’

Taken from the Substack archive, this is a voiceover of one of the earliest pieces I have for my advice column, Dear Dani.
