- Society & Culture
With 13 years under her blogging belt and 35+ years as an exceptionally anxious person, writer Emma Golden Miller has mastered the art of making the everyday ordinary as extraordinary as possible via her website, EMMASTHING.com. Now she's decided to spend each week talking at you about her latest goings-on from personal updates and stories, to what she's reading/watching/listening to at the moment and everything in between. Listen every week to hear an anxious but otherwise relatively normal woman drop F-bombs, make jokes, and talk about nothing yet everything.

64. Should I Stay Or Should I Go?
The future of TWES is unclear, and today, I'm sharing all my thoughts on why. I promise this isn't a pity party episode—it's actually really fun and recaps a wonderful week and weekend, dives into Deli Dan a la Queer Eye, and then I share my reasoning on why my efforts may best be used elsewhere besides this podcast. I think I make some strong points, so tune in and if you want to reach out to me with your own thoughts, you know where to find me!

60. The Ebbs and Flows of Life-Long Friendship
Family is great and so is having a life-long romantic partner, but friends do so much of the heavy lifting throughout our lives so who we choose to remain close with means A LOT. That said, people are complex by nature and evolve overtime, so friendships that ebb and flow are just a part of life. In today's episode, Emma chats about the roles friends play in your life, how to navigate shifts in the friendship, when it's time to "break up" with a toxic friend or just let it fizzle, and shares some of her anecdotes about her best friends over the years. There's so much more to be said and studied on female friendships, but this is a good start.

Bibi Lou Aoi Heels
Laura Cottler Pastries
Sunday Gravy (red meat sauce)

59. In My 36th Era: Thoughts On the Taylor Swift Concert (feat. Whitney)
On Tuesday 4/4, Emma turned 36 and decided there was no better way to spend the day than with her best friend (Whitney) and her one month old (August) as they recapped their experience at Taylor Swift's Eras Tour concert. Whitney is a Swiftie and has seen her three times in concert, whereas Emma is more Swiftie adjacent and this was her first time seeing her live, and they both have thoughts. Tune in to listen to two 30something millennials talk all things Taylor Swift, new motherhood, loud shows, and lots more!
