    hey girl hey, i know it’s been 4 months and no i don’t wanna talk about it 😭 but i actually do in this episode as always. this eppy is brought to you by an undisclosed number of biscoff ice cream bars and a very exhausted woman on the verge of collapse, but still, we prevail. i’ve got a few things to say about suzanne collins’ frankly frightening ability to make me cry, how crusty america is right now, and whether or not chappell roan is a gay icon in presence AND in practice. let’s get into it girlies. podcast instagram: @worthyofnotepod lauryn’s instagram: @laurynjcarlton TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - intro 01:36 - america? america has a problem 04:55 - out with the old, in with the new (job) 14:10 - sunrise on the weeping 24:10 - chappell roan on call her daddy

    new year, new me (in theory)

    happy new year folks! this may be a little late but as you’ll learn in the eppy there’s a good reason 🤧 i wanted to take this time to talk about how the “new year, new me!” phrase that has appeared in the cultural zeitgeist this time every year since 2011 has a ring of truth to it. along the way, we’ll dabble in a little post-2024 reflection, set our guiding words for this year, and motivate ourselves with 1-star reviews. let’s get into it! TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - intro 01:11 - kicking off the new year with a rare respiratory event 03:52 - “new year new me” is kinda true tho (hear me out) 13:44 - favorite media i found in 2024 26:33 - setting my guiding words for 2025 36:27 - podcast reflections 39:14 - 1 ⭐️ review FOLLOW ME HERE: podcast instagram: @worthyofnotepod lauryn’s instagram: @laurynjcarlton REFERENCED IN THIS POD: jaimmy koroma’s IG page morgan harper nichols’ word of the year post 2 whits 1 cup podcast

    campus ministries are low-key a pyramid scheme

    hi hi, i know it’s been forever but i’m back on the mic to discuss something that’s been cooking in my noggin for a really long time: campus ministries and their uncanny commonalities with pyramid schemes & MLMs. you may be thinking, “huh?? explain yourself gorl” and i will! after this episode you’ll have a very hard time spotting the difference between these highly complex (and often problematic) groups. so let’s get into it!! TW: religious trauma, mental health insensitivity, toxic christianity note: if you are currently in a campus ministry, this is not meant to put you down or disparage you. this is my experience, and is meant to point out some of the many issues within evangelical christian culture. there very well could be ministries that are affirming, welcoming, and genuine, but i unfortunately have never experienced that. if you have, please share your experience in the comments! i would love to hear your thoughts :) podcast instagram: @worthyofnotepod lauryn’s Instagram: @laurynjcarlton TIME STAMPS: 00:00 - intro 03:01 - the musings that led to this episode 05:50 - what’s a campus ministry? 07:44 - the (slight) difference between pyramid schemes & MLMs 13:56 - there’s always a “pitch” 19:19 - what brand is that?? 26:20 - the group dynamics STANK 47:45 - how ‘bout that isolation?? 57:05 - it’s all in the language 1:05:47 - where does this leave us?

    cicadas & men & bears, oh my!

    this week, cicadas are on my hit list and i don’t wanna talk about it (though i do for several minutes). we also have a pretty heavy discussion about how Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker’s truly disappointing cow dung graduation speech says a lot about the man vs. bear discourse, and finish things off with a man who ended his 9-month relationship because his girlfriend wants a big wedding. this one’s a doozy so let’s hop right into it! TIME STAMPS: 00:00 - f them bugs >:( 07:13 - harrison butker’s speech & the man vs bear debate 23:50 - AITA: dumping gf over wedding costs
