Voted Most Dramatic

David Self

In 2003, I was voted 'Most Dramatic' and unfortunately for everyone around me, I never grew out of it. 🎭 Now I'm turning that flair into a millennial lifestyle blog and part time podcast — my take on big feelings, overcoming generational trauma, and laughing at the absurdities of life (and probably reality TV). Consider this your official invite to your new favorite over-share. I'm SO glad you're here.

Join me, won't you?

    Read Aloud: I'm Becoming The Person I Needed

    I got to actually experience the moments this week. This is what really got my attention this week, and I think why I haven’t missed Instagram. I was in the beauty of the moment, not looking for the beauty of the moment to post. For the first time in a long while, I wasn’t thinking like a content creator — snapping a picture of my food before I took a bite, setting up the perfect boomerang, or trying to find the right angle for the aesthetic. A LOT happened this week. Let's catch up!

    Read Aloud: I Deleted My Instagram (And Here's Why)

    While I won’t accept the ‘late-thirties’ label until next year, 36 feels exceptionally closer to middle age than 35 did. And it (along with current events) has made me take stock of where I am versus where I should be. And if I’m being honest, it’s not just the gap that’s bothering me — it’s how loud everything around that gap has become: Everyone else’s timelines. Everyone else’s milestones. Everyone else’s perfectly curated proof that they are, in fact, doing it right.

    Read Aloud: Fake Spring Has Officially Hit Seattle

    In this read aloud of today's blog post, I share some recent activities, spring musings, and a playful debate on Easter candy. I also argue with Beau, talk about my new tattoo, and what led me to chart an unexpected venture in joining an adult pickleball league (and more). Check it out! Do you like this read aloud format? Let me know!

    2026 Baby! We're Back (and Why it Matters?)

    We're (finally) back from winter break! Join us for a loungey hotel episode packed full of life updates, mental health struggles, shopping experiences, and reflections on grief. Danielle and I explore the importance of self-care, the challenges of navigating societal issues, and the role of (dark) humor in coping with the absurdities of life. The conversation is largely underlined by our love of food, so if you're on a diet, you're not for the next 43 minutes, babes.

    [CarCast] Thanksgiving Hot Takes and Flat Tires

    Is it too late to talk Thanksgiving hot takes? Wellll, that's too damn bad. Buckle up for this CarCast as we spill tea and reminisce on a drive around the podunk (aka Hallmark Christmas Movie) town we grew up in. Are you team cranberry in a can or 100% home-made? Oh, and this episode unofficially diagnosed our best co-host with ADHD. Or maybe I'm just rubbing off? Doodle never sent me the recipe for Reese's pie (whoopsie!), so I hope this one is close enough? Link!

    Best Friends and Near Death Experiences

    Join me and Danielle — my OG BFF Jill — live from Marina State Beach in California for a people watching and nostalgia extravaganza! We talk about the time I almost drowned in her pool, our love for The Great American Dynasty of fast food restaurants, and what taking our power back looks like. Plus an anniversary vacation brainstorm for our 20-year next year (that our husbands are SO paying for).
