***Editor's note: every time I gesture towards the table in this episode, there is a very annoying sound that happens that I could not hear until I started editing. I am so sorry. Me, the table and the mic are going to meet up and solve this before next week.
This week's episode is mostly about how I lived half of my life very traditionally and now everything I desire is very untraditional and how strange that is and what I've learned from the drastic shifts and how I'm moving forward and how you don't have to pick a life that's been modeled to you, you can make it up as you go. Pep talks abound!-

SELFWIFE episode 30 is about the importance of learning and prioritizing ~the basics~ late in life if you were never taught them in your formative years, including some of my current favorite basics that make me feel like I'm a great selfwife. Also sharing two new, easy, daily practices that I've implemented in my year of solitude, the importance of having the right tools and not keeping people in your life that make your stomach drop and your heart race on the regular.-

On episode 24 of SELFWIFE, I'm joined by my lifelong friend Coleen who grew up in the same very small, very strange, very fundamentalist Christian church that I did. In this ep we remember the good, the bad and the embarrassing - like performing at the local mall in a kids' Christian choir called "SOOL" but pronounced "soul" ☹️-

Diary episode - on:
loss, lessons, deconstruction, building standards late in life, getting better at boundaries, not knowing what's next, sitting in the pain and through it all - prioritizing oneself, telling the stories of my life, cutting family off and the rocky path that is escaping abuse when it's all you've known. -

Day after day, we watch mass death and destruction in the name of religion. Tale as old as time. Islam, Judaism and Christianity are the three, main, Abrahamic Religions and that got me thinking, what would I think of this ~Abraham~ dude if I read about him now, years after I've left the faith, deconstructed my cult-like attachment to it, and educated myself about world religions and the existential human need for belief? That's what I'm exploring in this episode-- reading Genesis as a former Jesus girl who was born into an extreme sect of the faith and has been educating herself out of it for 13+ years. (The Bible is FUNNY, folks. Really silly stuff in here, def was easier to accept as a kid.)-

as Israeli airstrikes continue to surge in Gaza, i'm seeing jokes about a new draft pop up all over the internet and i wondered all day about what that would look like these days. then i took the opportunity to ask my dad, who served in Vietnam as a Seabee from '68 to '71, what it was like being drafted as a teenager into a war he didn't believe in. he actually maintains that he *wasn't* drafted because he enlisted just before 18 so he could choose which branch he wanted to serve in. way to take the reigns, dad. i have a clearer picture of who he was when he was young and of his tender heart. he talks about "the buddy system", the guys with a death wish who tried to be macho, and he calls himself a "wheeler dealer." oh and he cries and so do i.
i hope you get something from this episode 𓇢𓆸
