DEATH TO MY 20s! I decided to record this recap of my 20s in the last 3 hours of my 20s and put it out to the universe as a goodbye.

This week’s episode is with one of my favourite Romance book authors, https://www.authormegbecker.com/! In this episode, Meg sits down with me to discuss her literary backstory, her favourite romance books and male protagonists, how she comes up with the different storyline ideas for her books, and her cute proposal story. She also tells us about how much, or how little, Kansas City is into the Travis Kelcee and Taylor Swift romance, why illustrated book covers do better than others, how she uses Google Maps to set the scene for her books. I love all of Megs books today and I also love chatting with Meg! I hope that you enjoy this episode and learn more about Meg’s creative process!

Where have I been loca? Well, busy getting older! I have returned from Wrestlemania 40 and I am here to (kinda) tell the tale. I talk about Wrestlecon, whether staying in an airbnb or Hotel is a better choice, WWE World, Walemania, The WWE Hall of Fame, Joe’s Tailgate, and Wrestlemania 40 in Philadelphia. I have more to say about it and I may touch on it later but I wanted to chat about the positive experiences I had.  I have also been captivated by Kristin Cavallari and Mark from the Montana Boyz relationship. So, I chat about that for a bit.  I hope that you enjoy this little catch up from me!

It is the first episode of 2024 and it is an interview with Daniel Toujours, the author of “Ghosts of the Wilderness: An Everyday Guy’s Search for America’s Rare and Elusive Wildlife”. This episode took me a while to release as I wanted to finish his book prior to release (and editing is always a long game for me). I really enjoyed the book and recording this episode! I learned so much! Daniel gives us many nuggets of information from how he started his hiking adventures, the different types of rock art (petroglyph and pictograph), animals he found in nature, acclimatization, the TMZ/30 mile zone, and finding ticks after hikes. I truly enjoyed this interview with Daniel and I think that you will also enjoy.

This is the outro to my 2023. This was not my year at all. I created a vision board for this year to make sure that I document the things that I want to do in 2024. This will be the year that I accomplish some remaining goals and dreams in the last year of my 20s! See all of you lovelies in 2024!

I got my highschool made Instagram account hacked. I am one of the fortunate people who was able to get my Instagram account back after a hacking and it was exhausting, challenging, and quite depressing. It is almost like a legal case and if you are willing to do the work and have the correct information, you can also get through this slow and tedious process of getting an instagram account back. In this episode, I tell the story of how I got my deactivated Instagram account hacked, the process of getting my Instagram account back, important information that you should know in the event that this ever happens to you, and conclusion of where I am at today. This is the email that I used to contact Instagram to get the ball rolling: support@instagram.com  I hope that this episode helps someone out there who is going through the stressful situation of having an Instagram account hacked. It's more common than you think. P.S. KNOW YOUR ACCOUNT CENTRE INFORMATION. Know the date you created the account. This will save you so much stress and anxiety.  Follow the Podcast Instagram: @pessimismatitsfinest  https://www.instagram.com/pessimismatitsfinest/  Anchor: https://anchor.fm/pessimismpodcast    Email: pessimismpodcast@gmail.com   Website: https://pessimismatitsfinest.wordpress.com/    Twitter: @pessimismpod https://twitter.com/PessimismPod   Links: https://msha.ke/pessimismpodcast/ Intro Music by ItsWatR from Pixabay

I am here to defend myself and my choices! Yes, my number 1 most listened to artist of 2023 is WWE… and contrary to popular belief, I am not embarrassed about this. WWE is my favourite soundtrack in life and I will never stop listening to my favourites.  I just felt the need to create a bonus episode to defend my choices in music and the fact that this is my most listened to artist.  Lastly, Rihanna was my #2 and Bad Bunny was my #4 so that proves that I do have a diverse musical taste.
