Aww, it's baby's first NaNoWriMo. Ever since I was a kid I've envisioned myself writing novels, and this November I'm making that dream come true. ⁠

More details to come, but my book is about a woman coming to love and appreciate being single. ⁠

Have you participated in NaNoWriMo? Let me know how it went.

It's National No Housework Day!

Even though we all need clean dishes and floors, housework is still gendered. Some still call housework "women's work." What does that even mean? We all need clean towels.

Housework isn't valued as real work, even though it's essential for health and safety.

If you still do the majority of household tasks on top of all the other things you need to do in a day, take a day off and observe National No Housework Day.

Cat lady is rarely a compliment. But why is it such a bad thing? Why does our culture have disdain for cat ladies?

Cat lady is shorthand for lonely woman. But I disagree. Cat ladies are amazing.

I host a podcast called The Spinster Life Podcast where I learn more about famous spinsters of history. In order to learn more about these women and what they have to teach us, I set upon myself a challenge: to live like a famous spinster for a week in order to examine their lives and shed more light on what single women’s lives are actually like.
For my first attempt, I lived like Gloria Steinem.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. And again. As many times as I need to.

Don't put your life on hold because you don't have a partner.

If you have the opportunity to make a big life choice you've been dreaming of, make it.
If you want to try that new restaurant but don't have a date, dine alone.

Don't put yourself in a state of suspended animation because you're single. Does someone in your life need to hear this message? Send them the latest episode of my YouTube series Good Advice.

Change is inevitable, but that doesn't mean we have to like it. My co-host is stepping down from the show to focus on work 😢

Thank you Eva for learning just a little bit more, for staying on mic 40% of the time, and for stepping into the podcast waters with me. You're the Elizabeth Cady Stanton to my Susan B. Anthony.

Despite the change, the podcast goes on. I can't stop won't stop Living The Spinster Life. Stay tuned for where the show is going next.

One of my earworms is Lizzo's banger Fitness, and I'm not mad about it. Not only does the song contain the phrase "B***y vicious", but because it contains the line "I Don't Do This For You"

It just reminds me of all the things that I used to do for male attention that now I do for me. Like shaving my legs. Now I only shave my legs when my leg hair gets too long and it gets annoying.

And, working out. I don't do it just to look good, I work out so I can take care of myself when I get older. Watch my YouTube video all about the benefits of working out.

Behind the scenes peek at one of my favorite tools, the remote shutter! It might sound utterly ridiculous, but this $6 hunk of plastic makes me feel empowered.

It allows me to take all of my social media photos by myself on my own timeline.
It lets me have more control over the content I put out into the world.
It saves me time and keeps my stress levels under control.

Let me know what small tool makes a world of difference in your life.

Recently, I had a giant creative block. I hated every uninspired idea I came up with, and I felt like I would never have a good idea again. I kept making content, even though I didn't think it was good. In some ways, I think that helped me make progress toward tearing down my block.

So I made a video about what I'm going to do to be more inspired. Let me know if you've ever felt creatively blocked, and what you did about it.
