I'm back, babies, and I am so thrilled about it. Thank you for being patient with my inactivity <3
Layne's back on the pod, everyone. This time we're talking about another beloved video game, Stardew Valley! We've always been gamer girlies at heart. I hope you enjoy this fun conversation full of tangents and memories.
It's about time we all did a digital detox. Today my (almost) husband, Matt, and I are talking about social media—the good, the bad, and the ugly of it. Thanks for sticking with the episode through all of our ramblings! I think this conversation is worth your time.
Today, Lucas and I discuss the immigration system—common misconceptions, our personal beliefs about the subject, and its tie to the War on Drugs. It's a new topic for me, but for Lucas it's one that hits close to home.
NOTE: I had a little bit of trouble with the audio for some reason, so apologies if it's not up to usual standard!

Let's talk about why Noah and Allie are terrible relationship role models (and all of the other reasons why I dislike this movie). Media plays such a huge part in influencing us and directing us to want certain things, even when it comes to relationships. We need better depictions of healthy relationships in media—there I said it.
Welcome to my curiosity about sobriety, we're going to learn a lot this year. Alcohol is something that is so normalized, and I've decided to challenge that normalcy this year (and maybe beyond!). This is probably the closest that I'll ever get to a new year's resolution haha.

Not that kind of party—political parties. That's right, we're diving back into politics this week by discussing the differences between Republicans and Democrats. No stereotypes, just side-by-side comparison charts. My favorite!

Today we're continuing the conversation about religion and spirituality—this time with my friend, Sydney, who is still actively involved in the church. We talk about deconstruction and the church's response to it. This episode is all about finding common ground and bridging the gap between Christians and "Exvangelicals." Thank you for listening with an open mind. We love you guys!

This week, we're taking a break from the intensity of learning things to talk about the intensity of my love for the season of fall. Listen to this episode if you want to discuss all things weather and soup.

News flash: All of my birthday gifts were books, and I'm going to tell you about each of them.
PS I forgot to tell you which one I'm reading first, and it's probably going to be Crying In H Mart.
This week Brooklyn and I talk about all things thrifting! She's got an entire Instagram business dedicated to secondhand fashion, so she knows what she's talking about. You can find her on Instagram @brooklyn.finds
Matt and I talk about D&D this week in a very ramble-y episode of You're So Introverted! Have you ever played D&D? If not, you should for sure change that.
My sister and I go back to our roots in the episode, as we talk about our love for Nancy Drew PC games and how they shaped us into the gamers that we are today.
It happened. Roe was overturned, and the media has been nothing but chaotic since. Today's episode has nothing to do with politics and everything to do with taking a break from reality to take more personality tests. Just for fun! Because we need more fun! If you need a break, this is the perfect episode for you. I feel you.
If you want to take the tests I took in this episode, here are the links:

This week we have a guest!! FINALLY, you get to hear someone else's voice on the pod. Lydia's here to talk about the enneagram, and it's a great time. It's a chaos-filled hour and a half of exploring the complexities of the enneagram.
Just about all of the information I'm sharing came from the Enneagram Institute website. Basically just copy paste their entire site into the description of this episode. It's a fantastic resource.
Thanks for hanging out with us! We love and appreciate each of you. See you next week!!
Another week of catching up with me and hearing about my life! Fun times, chill times. I'm going to have some extra time to plan for future podcast episodes coming up, so stay tuned for more guests and more research. My two favorite things!!!
Another laidback lowkey episode talking about my summer goals and the progress I've made so far!! Super chill, super fun. Thanks for being hereeeee
Welcome back to the podcast! This week I'm talking about summer and how I'm trying to reframe my perspective of it so that I can enjoy it like I did when I was a kid. I'm talkin' summer bucket list, baby. Books, cooks, and getting out of my comfort zone. If you've got any ideas for me, send them my way via Instagram DMs (@_lucymckenzie_).
Don't forget to follow, rate, and review the podcast! It really helps me out, and I love hearing your feedback! I'll see you next week (:

TW: I'm talking about Roe v. Wade, so there's a lot of talk about miscarriage, abortion, etc. in this episode.
This is the first installment of a conversation about the Supreme Court's draft opinion on Roe v. Wade.

Hey guys! Welcome to the pod. On this solo episode, I talk a lot about my content creation journey and where I'm at with it. I had a lot of fun sharing my thoughts with you, and I really appreciate you listening!
Follow me on the socials, if you want. Send me a DM and tell me what you're grateful for this week!
Instagram: @_lucymckenzie_
TikTok: @lucyboyland
Thanks a million! Can't wait for next Wednesday.
Hello friends! This week is a wind-down kind of episode. After last week's heavy topic, I take it down a notch by rambling about my weird dreams, my love for raspberries, and my limited knowledge about my personal birth chart. If you came for nonsense, you came to the right place. I'm so glad you're here!
If you want to continue this silly conversation, find me on Instagram @_lucymckenzie_ and shoot me a DM. Also give me a follow, if you haven't already.
Thanks for the listen, and I'll see you next week as always (:
TW: Religious trauma, purity culture/sexual assault
This week, Rachel and I talk about our religious deconstruction process, our experience with church hurt, and the ways that we are navigating spirituality separate from church culture.
Recording this was a very vulnerable experience for both of us, so we would appreciate grace when it comes to feedback and responses to this topic. We are learning everyday and realize that we are not experts on anything, so everything we shared comes from a place of humility and imperfection.
Thank you to everyone who shared their experiences with us. You are so appreciated and so loved. I am grateful to live this life alongside each of you.
If you want to continue the conversation, you know where to find me (@_lucymckenzie_). I'm also planning to release more episodes on my religious experience in the future, so stay tuned for that. Thank you for listening.
In this episode, my friend Kristina and I talk about our experiences with travel all the way back to our high school trip to Seattle. If you sent in questions for us, we answered them towards the end of the episode and gave you a bunch of travel tips and tricks.
If you want to continue the convo, follow me on Instagram @_lucymckenzie_ and send me a DM. I'd love to hear from you, as always!
TW: We briefly mention sexual harassment in this episode
This week on the pod, Emily and I are talking about our experience as women in the workplace. We talk about imposter syndrome, balancing assertiveness with kindness, and give you guys advice on your own work dilemmas.
Thank you for sending in your thoughts and questions. Your input is so valuable and appreciated! Feel free to follow my Instagram @_lucymckenzie_ to stay up to date with the upcoming topics for future episodes and to send me your thoughts on episodes you've listened to already.
Also, sorry about the noise pollution and the harsh cuts between clips! Editing this episode was a little bit more challenging than normal.
Love you guys!
In this episode, I talk about my recent fascination with the 1970s which encompasses the concept of romanticizing (and demonizing) the past, the similar themes that I see repeating in current events, and a few rabbit trails along the way. I also answer a few questions that were sent in by listeners via Instagram! Follow me @_lucymckenzie_ and send me a question to answer in a future episode!
The article I reference in this episode was written in February 2000 for the Los Angeles Times. It's titled "Reexamining the '70s as a Decade Responsible for Much More Than Disco," if you're interested in looking it up.
The book I'm reading is called, "Witness to the Revolution: Radicals, Resisters, Vets, Hippies, and the Year America Lost Its Mind and Found Its Soul," by Clara Bingham.
Welcome back to the pod! On today's episode, I'm talking about how my self-improvement agenda became damaging to me, how I'm learning to implement balance and patience into my healing journey, and TV shows that I'm watching these days. I also have a mini Q&A at the end, answering two questions sent in by listeners.
If you want me to answer any questions, you can find me on Instagram @_lucymckenzie_ and send me a direct message! I'll try to answer your question in a future podcast episode.
Thanks for listening! I adore you guys.
The very first episode of my very own podcast! How exciting. This episode is all about introductions, my initial thoughts about starting a podcast, goals for the podcast, and my top three podcast recommendations. Basically I just recorded a podcast about podcasts, and I'm perfectly satisfied with that.
If you want to help me decide what to talk about in future episodes, find me on Instagram @_lucymckenzie_ and send me a DM. I'd seriously love to hear from you! Let me know what you thought of this episode.
Thanks for listening!! I'm so excited.
