22. Hater Hour: Ways I’m Furious with Myself and with Society
Not For Everyone
How to Measure Success
Some people wrote in some really good topics that I do want to save to talk with just about. My goal, like success to me this year, is making videos that I can 100% stand behind. External validation, social media, putting out videos, it's rife with external validation. If you get your validation and your sense of self-worth from a video that goes viral, then what does it say about you when a video bombs? Is that when you know that you're terrible?
Introducing Hater Hour - like happy hour but weirder and darker and probably happening at 2am. With Jess out sick, Caroline takes on her FIRST EVER solo podcast episode, responding to a bunch of listener-submitted topics as she yearns for her mommy alone in her apartment.
First, a very personal look into Caroline's relationship with her deepest, darkest complex and how she thinks about negative self talk. She's getting more comfortable with the idea that the things that made her the way she is might just be a part of her, and that's allowed; self acceptance can be freeing compared with the never-ending quest for self improvement.
Next, reacting to your petty complaints and weirds turn-ons; honestly, you kooks need help. Do NOT let Caroline catch you making this one particular grammatical faux pas, unless you truly have a death wish. Then, a DM about pick-me girls turns into a story about Halsey and an admission that women judge each other unfairly. And finally, how Caroline thinks about measuring success as a content creator, knowing that doing it for views can't be her answer.
