Do you even wonder what else is out there for you? How often do you experience fear of missing out?
In this episode, I talk with Lucy Leonelli about her book, A Year in the Life.
Feeling stuck in her career and suffering from a very bad case of FOMO, Lucy quit her 9-5 and spent one year living with 26 different British subcultures: aristocrats, battle re-enactors, circus performers, naturists, zeitgeist political activists and more, experiencing first-hand their social rituals and customs, leading to lessons about herself, the world and what it means to be human.
But wait, thereâs more! Lucy also flips the scripts and asks ME questions like she did these subcultures⊠starting with the question: *is* feminism a subculture?
Some topics of discussion include:
1. What led to this year-long adventure and if Lucy cured her FOMO
2. The importance - and flexibility - of oneâs identity
3. When values and identity turn into prejudices and tribalism
4. The common thread that runs through us all: human connection, community
Plus:
1. Is feminism is a subculture?
2. My experience with imposter syndrome as a new podcaster
3. Subcultures within feminism
And more!
