My Existentialism Story, What's a Narrative Identity?, Why I 👎 Advice (+ refuse to say "frown lines")

In this second episode of Existennial I explain my strong 👎of giving general life advice. (How-to's like how to layer rugs, keep a baby alive or pair wine with curry are guidance I appreciate.) I then talk about why I much prefer sharing ideas and sparking stuff for people with STORIES. I quote a Spanish philosopher's thoughts on being a teacher and then recap a smart psychologist's studies on "narrative identity," --> basically whether you're aware or not, we're each stringing snippets of our life together so our existence at least makes a little sense and isn't just some random series of events. Yeah, we go high brow. After that, I storytell my personal narrative ie. what happened with my [most recent] existential crisis. I wrap with some strong opinions on cheese, a major warning about The Bachelor Franchise, and a paraphrase of Neil Patrick Harris.  I hope you find value in this!  To sign up for my frequent-ish newsletter filled with all sorts of fun meaningful things that I'm hoping to be like an Orange Tic Tac in your inbox—something delightful, refreshing, and peppy, click here: <a href="https://taliapollock.substack.com/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://taliapollock.substack.com</a> (That's also how I'll send you a written version of each episode if you sometimes fancy reading a la phone a la toilette.) <a href="https://taliapollock.substack.com/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://taliapollock.substack.com</a>

NEW NEW! Meet: Existennial The Show

Welcome to Existennial, a podcast where I shoot the shit about how we shape our life's own meaning on this random-ass planet and do so without miserably copy-and-pasting someone else's life or drowning in a pee-infested pool of personal responsibility anxiety.  It's where we'll investigate intentional living through a smorgasbord of science, spirituality, psychology, philosophy, pop culture, eavesdropping, and thoughts-I-have-in-the-shower.  I'm Talia Pollock, an author, columnist, and lover of the yoga pose pigeon. I've been questioning the meaning and mocking the absurdity of life since diapers—and I've been writing about it since tampons. If you're a millennial going through an existential crisis otherwise known as a quarter-life crisis..or a mid-life crisis.. a .33333333 life crisis or just a regular damn Tuesday, I am oh so glad you've landed here.  To sign up for my frequent-ish newsletter filled with all sorts of fun meaningful things that I'm hoping to be like an Orange TicTac in your inbox—something delightful, refreshing, and peppy, click here: <a href="https://taliapollock.substack.com/">https://taliapollock.substack.com</a>  (That's also how I'll send you a written version of each episode if you sometimes fancy reading a la phone a la toilette.) <a href="https://taliapollock.substack.com/">https://taliapollock.substack.com</a>

Of course, if you want the greatest thing to come out of this podcast, my book, stuffed to the brim with all the puns and healthy nuggets you’ve eaten up in this here podcast, my book <a href="https://amzn.to/3bkey72">Party in Your Plants</a> is a thing you can buy wherever books are sold. If the past 207 episodes has taught me anything, it’s that my hypothesis about partying in our plants was right on the money. In fact, I said it in <a href="https://partyinmyplants.com/podcast/1/">episode 1</a> of the podcast: our greatest health & happiness comes from eating way MORE PLANTS than you do CRAP. And The only way to guarantee we’ll ACTUALLY eat the plants is to take the HELL out of HEALTHY, which I think we did mighty well in this year ERA of the PIMP podcast. So with that I say eat your plants with a smile, monitor your mental health, love AND BLOW yo’self and i’ll catch you in my new projects so stay in the loop with me at taliapollock.com/hello so I tell you about future projects. LOVE YOU GOODBYE.
