Love Island USA, Casa Amor, and the Psychology of Being Chosen
<p>In this episode of Note 2 Self, Saskia is doing things a little differently. Her sister Liliana is visiting from LA, and naturally, they are using their precious sister time to unpack one of their favourite shared obsessions: Love Island.</p><p>This week is all about Casa Amor, the most chaotic and revealing week in reality TV. Saskia and Liliana break down where the couples stood going in, who explored, who disappointed them, who surprised them, and why this season finally started to feel alive again. From Melanie and Sincere, Aniya and KC, Trinity and Bryce, Kayda and Zach, to Kenzie and Corbin, they get into the couples, the choices, the heartbreak, and the moments that felt like actual television.</p><p>But because this is Note 2 Self, it is never just about reality TV. It is about wanting to be chosen, learning how people move when there are options, the difference between loyalty and fear, and why watching strangers date in a villa can somehow teach us so much about human connection.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Follow Liliana Starck</strong></p><ul><li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/lilystarck/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Instagram</a></li><li><a href="https://www.lilianastarck.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Website</a></li></ul><p><strong>Follow Note 2 Self</strong></p><ul><li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@note2self_podcast" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">YouTube</a></li><li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/note2self_podcast/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Instagram</a></li><li><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@note2self_podcast" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">TikTok</a></li></ul>

The Knicks, Love Island, and What Makes Us Feel Alive
<p>In this episode of Note 2 Self, Saskia is still thinking about New York. After last week’s conversation about J.Lo, Subway Takes, and what makes someone a New Yorker, the city decided to answer in the most New York way possible: the Knicks won, the streets erupted, and for one night the whole city felt like one living, breathing nervous system.</p><p><br>What starts as a story about a Knicks watch party on the Lower East Side becomes something much bigger. Saskia reflects on collective joy, the strange power of strangers wanting the same thing at the same time, and why connection can feel like its own form of resistance. From there, she moves into a very different kind of connection crisis: this season of Love Island, and why the contestants seem so scared to flirt, explore, risk, and be messy.</p><p><br></p><p>She also reflects on Emily Ratajkowski’s essay Sex As a Single Mom, the roles women are taught to play, and how hard it can be to know what we actually want when desire has been shaped by what we were told would make us safe, loveable, chosen, or powerful. Because maybe the work is paying attention to what makes us feel alive, what makes us feel connected, and what makes us feel like we are finally telling the truth, and chasing that with all we’ve got.</p><p><br>Emily Ratajkowski essay referenced in this episode: <br>https://www.thecut.com/article/emily-ratajkowski-sex-single-mom.html</p><p><br></p><p>Follow Note 2 Self on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@note2self_podcast</p><p><br>Follow Note 2 Self on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/note2self_podcast/</p><p><br>Follow Note 2 Self on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@note2self_podcast</p>

New York, Fame Sick, and Reinventing Yourself in Your 30s
<p>In this episode of Note 2 Self, Saskia is thinking about New York. After J.Lo’s Subway Takes claim that you have to be born in New York to be a New Yorker, Saskia reflects on moving to the city in 2015 with one suitcase, no job, and no idea what life here would become.</p><p><br></p><p>What starts as a New York take turns into something much bigger: belonging, identity, and who gets to decide where we are allowed to feel at home. Saskia talks about the energy in the city right now, dancing under the K Bridge at Chris Lake, the joy of connection, and why New York has always been a place for people who arrive, rebuild, and become.</p><p><br></p><p>She also reflects on Lena Dunham’s memoir Fame Sick, the complicated relationship between a city that makes you and a city that can also break you, and what it means to leave behind an old version of yourself. From creative failure and grief around acting to redefining success in your 30s, this episode is about reinvention, changing your mind, and learning that the versions of you that came before do not disappear. They become another layer of who you are.</p><p><br></p><p>Because maybe belonging is not about where you were born. Maybe it is about what changes you, what holds you, and who makes room for the person you are becoming.</p>
