All the world's a talking stage: Recent Episodes
BROOKE LIM
Brooke's a listener. She listens to people talk and she also has a lot to talk about. That's why she's talking here, for great lengths, about her life, once a week — even if she finds extreme measures towards permanence terrifying, even if she prefers conversation to remain ethereal, prone to dissipation. (She talks about stepping outside her comfort zone. That's why she's doing this)

spent all my time over at www.classicle.club, don't have much time left to craft an episode description
This episode discusses social comparison; the beautiful, the ugly, the psychology of why we do so.
I have no script or producer I recorded this after my bedtime without my microphone because I misplaced it lol
here's the link I was talking about <3 https://classicle.club/classicle-community
Ashley's one of my students, and we're talking about school, the future, romantic relationships, future career pathways, work ethic, and the stress of a rigorous working/studying environment. come join our conversation for a while!
it's happened to me so many times & i expect it will many times more... sometimes it's particularly tough
After taking a break from podcasting, i'm back & i promise it only gets better from here.... sorry i cut off abruptly btw i'm uploading the second half in the next episode <3 as a former perfectionist I'm not beating myself up for not having the perfect episode, just a decent attempt will do.
25 minute unscripted unplanned dreamy train of thought re: tutoring & the general paper & hopping out of bed before sunrise to partake in my favourite activity of the day (reading essays)
I've been talking about it in class, now I'm talking about it on my podcast. Seriously I do believe that the world would be a much more beautiful place if we all had some form of creative outlet. Which is why I'm working towards it, every single day, and why I'm a huge advocate for creativity. It's a gift. Even this episode is the child of a moment of creativity. I hope you find something to love about it :")
Exactly what the title says — a lot of self doubt & feeling like an imposter when it comes to school, personal life & working relationships. This adulting thing is so difficult. Seriously. Except very rarely do I actually feel like an adult. I'm too busy fretting over minor blips in my existence (white pages, an essay, a lunch out with my friends). Plus the whole rosy & not-so-rosy side of social media and HOW IT HAS MESSED WITH MY PERCEPTION OF REALITY and, you guessed it, fed my self-doubt and imposter syndrome. Very interesting stuff.
People pleasing — why I struggle with it, why 2022 is the year I tackle my people-pleasing tendencies, how I'm going about doing it. Spoiler alert: I haven't succeeded but at least I'm making progress. Cheer to that, and cheers to every incremental bit of self-growth.
Brooke doesn't understand social media. If it isn't obvious enough from the episode title, she's lost, bamboozled, confused, flabbergasted. Social media is so multifaceted a concept that she, a newbie to the scene, is still trying to figure out. Its positive and negative and ambiguous implications mean that everyone's experience is a necessary continuum — not a b&w dichotomy. Maybe you can find some comfort in this episode. <3
