long time no pod! here's a one off episode...

today marks 1 year since my brother's death. my heart is joyful but grief is hard. hopefully this episode speaks to that <3

Q&A's allow me to provide actual insight/information/perspective on things people, like you, are actually curious about. Today's episode is exactly that; 8 chosen questions that hopefully cover a nice range of topics that are interesting to everyone :)

I say this in every episode but THANK YOU so much for still listening to my little passion project. The conversations I've had in response to some of these episodes have been super wholesome and deeply appreciated. If you're new here, I'm adopted LOL. Make sure to follow the socials etc too! @atypicalyadoptee

DM's are always open. Enjoy the episode ❤️

What exactly does it mean to be enough? Is there one definition? I grappled with this idea/question for so long and I realised that this active pursuit of feeling enough, the collective generational struggle of seeking affirmation and achieving goals, media-centric influences... all these thoughts showed me how ambiguous this idea/question really is.
The earlier topics within this episode will hopefully be relatable to many listeners, especially those of us who grew up in an age where the pursuit of happiness is engrained in our daily intake of media. Later in the episode I take a deeper turn (no surprise..) where I also talk about my internal struggle with feeling whole and wanted as an adoptee, and burden of fulfilling the expectations of breaking stereotypes as an adopted person of colour. Enjoy the episode and let me know your thoughts :) @atypicaladoptee
