  1. Field Note#11: I Wish The Day Would Stay

    the strange frustration of being human: having a brain that can explain your feelings but can't always make them go away, questioning your own sadness, and trying to figure yourself out while still having to live your life. Maybe some days the fire is small enough to put out. Other days, nothing...

  2. Field Note#10: After Happily Ever After

    I'm thinking about the stories we inherit, the milestones we build our lives around, and the strange experience of reaching something you've wanted only to realise that life doesn't end there. This isn't about having all the answers, or questioning every choice until nothing feels certain. It's...

  3. Field Note#09: Terms and Conditions

    There are things I understand about being alive. What I don't understand is how easily surviving becomes making something of yourself. So this is me trying to figure out how to participate in a world I don't entirely agree with, without giving all of myself to it.

  4. Field Note#08: The Person I Keep Meeting

    What happens when the same lesson keeps finding you in different forms? Learning can feel stupid. Growth can feel humiliating. Sometimes we understand exactly why something happened and still hate that it happened. Sometimes we know we need to leave and still don't want to. Sometimes we learn the...

A Field Note about complicated relationships, memory, grief, love, hurt, and the people who become part of our personal mythology. This episode is about the stories we create about the people we've loved, lost, outgrown, forgiven,...

  8. Field Note #04: The Seams

    What if some of the things we think are permanent are really just things we’ve gotten used to? A strange thought about pap, history, culture, and the invisible seams holding our ideas of “normal” together. Maybe the world is a lot less fixed than we think it is.

  9. Field Note#03: Nobody Talks About How Slow Becoming Is

    A reflection on growing up, changing quietly, and realizing that becoming yourself doesn't have an ending.What if becoming yourself was never supposed to be something you eventually finish?This field note is about growing slowly, changing without noticing, paying attention to the tiny moments…

  10. Field Note#01 Maybe Awareness Has Terrible Marketing

    Awareness is supposed to make life easier. We're told that once we understand ourselves, everything else is supposed to fall into place. But what if awareness isn't the cure? What if it simply allows us to see the world more clearly, even when that clarity feels uncomfortable? In this first field...

  11. Field Note#02: The Strange Grief of Ordinary Life

    Some grief arrives without a funeral. This Field Note is about childhood, ordinary endings, and the strange feeling of realizing that time has quietly carried you somewhere else. Thanks for listening.
