We Launched a Pop Culture Podcast!

Friends it’s been a minute but hopefully this post helps explain some of the why…we launched a podcast! At the beginning of 2020, my friend Tomi and I started posting weekly recaps of The Bachelor on her YouTube channel and before long we began to talk about the possibility of starting a podcast. We spent months really nailing down what we envisioned and at the end of May we launched our podcast, Content Culture!

Why I’m Tired of Bloggers: On Being Unethical

Hi friends, coming at you with a super personal and {likely} lengthy blog post today about a topic that’s been on my mind quite a bit.  There’s going to be some reflection in this post and I should start by saying: no one is perfect.  Definitely don’t think I am, or anywhere close for that matter.  However, speaking up on this has been on my mind for months so I’m hopeful writing it out will let me move past it.  Let’s talk about blogging and what being unethical looks like and does to the community.
