| What I've Been Listening To: Creation Myth | 03 Mar 2026 | 00:17:46 | |
Hey you, it’s me… If you’ve been in a reflective season lately, questioning things you thought you were sure about, this one might hit a little deeper. Whenever I share something here, it’s because it feels aligned. Like the kind of conversation that lingers after you turn it off. The kind that makes you sit with yourself a minute longer than you planned to. This is one of those. Today I’m sharing a special preview from the new season of Personally from CBC Podcasts called Creation Myth. Helena has always been clear. She does not want kids. She’s never felt maternal. She’s built a full life that fits her beautifully. Kid. Child. Baby. Not for her. So why is she suddenly obsessed with parenthood? Why is she asking her friends with children for every tiny detail? Why is she circling the question now, in her forties, when the door is almost closed? What you’re about to hear is just part of the episode. And I highly recommend listening to the full story because it goes so much deeper — into identity, biology, culture, freedom, pressure, and what happens when certainty starts to wobble. It’s intimate. It’s thoughtful. It’s the kind of conversation that stays with you. Grab a coffee. Go for a walk. Let yourself think. ✨ ✨ My romcom of a life continues. 🤍 New episodes coming March 4th. | |||

Hey you 🤍 If you’ve been wondering where I’ve been, I’ve been on a little hiatus of my own. Resting. Resetting. Living a little more quietly. And honestly, listening. Don’t worry. I’m coming back with my own glow up on March 4th. Whenever I step away, I always come back with conversations that feel intentional. The kind that make you pause and think, yes… this is the energy I want for the year. This is one of those. Today I’m sharing a Love-ly episode from Mehak that feels like the first real conversation of 2026. She dives into personal dating updates, the rise of friction maxxing, and why choosing the inconvenient path might actually be the one that leads to deeper connection. She also touches on the internet’s obsession with Tamara’s 365 Buttons and why Heated Rivalry has completely taken over her FYP. It’s reflective. It’s cultural. It’s light but thoughtful. And it might just inspire your first 2026 obsession. Grab a drink. Get cozy. Let’s ease into something that feels real. ✨ Follow Mehak on Instagram Listen to the Love-ly podcast ✨ And don’t forget to follow my romcom Instagram YouTube TikTok March 4. We glow up. 🤍 | |||

Be it a job that’s draining or a hobby that is more stressful than exhilarating, Sheila guides us in decluttering our lives for the better. The more you let go of who you’re not, the more space you make for who you are. Small Talk With Sheila is written and hosted by Sheila Kazan.
