On the rare occasion that I picked up a magazine to read, I came across a very interesting article from Grazia entitled "Generation Stagnation: All Work And No Pay Rise". This sent me down a rabbit hole of investigation into the nature of our current economy, the cost of living crisis and what this means for millennials and Gen Z.

Many of us put pressure on ourselves because we haven't achieved financial independence and still live with our parents at 24 but in reality this is how this generation is surviving in 2025. Inflation, wage stagnation, job insecurity, competition and uncertainty. All of it culminating to make a melting pot of stress for any young adult.

Today we are digging into this crisis and dipping into some solutions for us all. Please note that I am not a financial expert or guru in anything. I'm just your friend who did some research and am here to share. Let's go!

Inspirational Quotes And My Opinions

Sometimes episodes are planned, sometimes they're like this one. This episode wasn’t planned—at all. I honestly had no idea what to talk about... until it came to me... QUOTES! Today we are reviewing pinterest quotes. Some I've saved, some I haven't. Some are good, some are bad, but regardless, today we are judging them.

Maybe this will be reassuring and inspiring for you. Maybe it will just be a fun waste of time. Either way I'm glad you're here. :)

PS: Thank you Emma Chamberlain for inspiring this episode.

Art As Activism: The Often Unrealised Power In Art, Theatre, Movies, and Music

I've always been fascinated by art. From paintings and drawings in art galleries, to movies, theatre and songs that electrify and inspire you. Art has always been more than simply something to admire. It's a powerful force with the power to speak loudly.

In this episode, we dive into the vibrant world of art, but not just as it is. Today, we are looking at how art can be activism. How creative expression has challenged power, inspired movements, and told the stories that needed to be heard.

Michelangelo, Banksy, Bob Marley, Jonathan Larson and even Disney, all had something to say about the worlds they lived in. (spoiler alert: they're not the only ones)

Quote of the day: Art is not what you see, but what you make others see - Edgar Degas
