“Millennials are a funny bunch. We have an irrational fear of boredom, a disproportionate love for avocado, and now, an incrementing fondness for uninterrupted voice notes.”
Lying in bed the other day pondering how I could hold and carry some of the really potent, interesting and important conversations that are happening between you, my readers and digital community, and myself I came up with this idea. Raw, unedited voice notes much like the ones that are passed between myself and my closest circle, discussing the latest news and laying our most vulnerable truths on the table.
It started with not being able to keep up with all the excellent questions sent my way and not wanting to spend hours on Instagram stories or writing. It takes time and devotion to put together a good article, that sometimes I don’t have space for. Running an official podcast just doesn’t call me. I enjoy a select few podcasts, I tend to be a skimmer and just want the gold nuggets without all the fluff and stuff around those parts.
Recording a voice note allows us to be much more uninhibited in expressions and conveyance. There’s no editing – just you, my voice and whatever is on our mind.
This is an experiment. So from now on, whenever you have something you’d like me to speak on: send me a DM on Instagram or an email here, and I’ll give it my best shot. Let’s see if this is an additional way of connecting that sticks and works for all of us. I’d love to hear your thoughts.
Enjoy! xo
