pristine paradoxes podcast: Recent Episodes

remy and cecelia

let's discuss all of these paradoxical feelings, shall we?

we are remy (she/her, 18) and cecelia (she/her, 18) and we'll be having honest conversations about all the topics that pass through our minds, but don't get the time they deserve. teenage experience, expectations, navigating relationships, love, self-reflection, literature analysis: we'll be diving into all of it. don't be expecting any conclusions though...
