Making Me Proud
Magical M
Let's look back at who we used to be so we can appreciate who we are now. I'm sharing my cringe stories directly from my old journals and talking about how far I've come since.
EP 10: good at staying alive, bad at living
In this episode of Making Me Proud, I talk about how I always play it safe to a fault. Why am I so bad at being happy? I also analyze a quote from The Alchemist that I read daily and have tried to implement into my routines. Follow the podcast @makingmeproudpod on Instagram

EP 8: my coworker died and it was business as usual
TW: talking about grief and death. In this episode of Making Me Proud, I talk about the recent death of a coworker that left me feeling empty and angry. It made me angry that no one seemed to be bothered by his death (although people cope in different ways). If you've experienced a death in the workplace, I'm looking for advice on ways to heal.

EP 2: worst date & no more pen pals
I drove 2 hours for a first date. I had a 2-month talking stage before meeting in real life. Per my journal entry last year, I'm done with pen-paling men, but am I living up to those words? Listen to my worst date story: the cringe, the horror. Shed tears for my younger self, please. I know I did. Follow the podcast @makingmeproudpod on Instagram.
