Hi, I'm Grace! I love to introspect and overthink, so here I document random unfiltered thoughts and feelings as I navigate my early 20s. Themes that often come up are: meaning and fulfillment, love and loss, home and belonging, career and purpose, friendships and relationships, identity and values, childhood and family, and more!

Episode 14: Getting used to the mundanity of life now that I’m settled in Boston
I've been in Boston for 5 months now! I've gotten kinda used to living in the routine of a peaceful and "boring" life, and this past week I've fallen into a bit of an unmotivated slump. I finally get myself to record an episode, so I examine some of my feelings around this transition to a mundane life (e.g. changes in how I see my identity now that I'm significantly less social and my life is more insular).

Episode 13: New city, new home, new job!
Recorded in Boston, I talk about moving, leaving my old job and finding a new job, and settling into my new life! In the slower pace of a peaceful suburban neighborhood, I muse about my deeper level interests, goals, and purpose.
