My Unexpected Lessons Since Quitting My 9-5 Job 🤯

2025/03/22

I scheduled a meeting with my boss one cold mid-March morning in New York City. Since saving up almost $40,000, I had started to taste freedom in my morning coffee. My courage came out of nowhere. I was about to do something crazy. I was on the edge, flirting with the real world. That morning, I did the dead. I quit my full-time job.Three years have passed since that fateful morning, and this week, I hosted a party to celebrate that. As I sipped white wine with my friends, I realized that despite

How to Kill A Crush 🙅‍♀️

2025/03/14

Introduction 💌When you find out your crush doesn’t like you back, it’s a dagger to the heart. It’s a stab to the ego. But when you hear they like someone else in your friend group instead, it’s a double blow. The tsunami that follows the earthquake. For example, last week, I found out that the guy I sent a fun love letter to actually fancies my friend, and now they’re dating. Meanwhile, I’m still single and have been left to wallow in one of the saddest facts of life: not everyone that we find

Hello Wonderful Readers,What I’m about to share with you is completely real.I wrote a love letter to another writer. We met through friends in Mexico City. Over dinner, he told us he had written a short story about sex, and about him. I told him I wanted to read it. I gave him my email address. At the club later that night, after he had emailed me the story, he stood over me and talked loudly over the music into my ear,“Will you send me something back?” he asked me. “What do you want to read?” I

How to Be Shamelessly Sexy 🫦

Misseducated ·

2025/02/22

IntroductionMy mission is to help the world be shamelessly sexy. To me, that means not feeling ashamed about who you are or the type of sex you want to have. It means going after the things that you want in bed and in life. Being shamelessly sexy looks different for everyone. It’s something you need to define for yourself on your own terms. Also, no one can ever be perfectly shamelessly sexy. That’s because shame is a normal human emotion that will continue to crop up in life. But being perfect is

Hello Wonderful Readers,I’m writing to you from Santa Fe, New Mexico. (Well, actually, I got Covid, so I’m secretly finishing this a week later back in Mexico City. Please forgive me.) I’ve just finished a week on a remote ranch in The Land of Enchantment. In the desert, I went on lots of reflective walks, looked up at the sky, and cried into the mountains. Yes, it was very dramatic and revealing, and I’ll share some of those lessons below. This retreat has helped me gain so much clarity. I got to

Liar, Liar

Hello Wonderful Readers,Yesterday, a poet asked me,“Do you ever tell lies?”He had locks of brown hair, a strong jawline, and wicked eyes that smiled. I caught his gaze for a second, but then I quickly looked away. I focused on his somewhat dorky, checkered shirt. My shoulders hung heavy with guilt as I listened to the catchy notes of Lou Reed that played over us from an old vinyl turntable.I was three hours into my first date with this poet at Hule, a trendy, bustling bar in Mexico City.

Hello Wonderful Readers,I felt a lot of resistance writing this piece. I’m very tired right now. Most of you reading this are not in high school, and any of my younger cousins or friends who might be are probably just scrolling on TikTok. You can see how my inner critic is already working against me! That’s why it’s important to me to challenge myself. I’m determined to write and publish this piece for you anyway.I’m stealing the idea of this list from Austin Kleon, who stole it from Debbie Millman

IntroductionHello Wonderful Readers*,A very contentious topic came up in a conversation with my female friends this week. I discussed with them how I’m single and looking for a partner in bed and in life. But how old is too old? And how young is too young?When I decided to write about this topic, a cultural icon immediately came to mind: founder and innovator Cindy Gallop. She’s currently 64, and she has shared her sexual preferences and experiences with dating apps publicly:“I date younger men for

Why It’s Right To Be Wrong

2024/11/16

Dear Wonderful Readers,I am sitting in the airport, grumpy with myself. I’m in Terminal 2 at Heathrow in London. For such a massive space, this place is oddly quiet. There’s only the shuffling of footsteps and the thumping wheels of carry-on suitcases.When I go to the airport, I often feel inspired because, in the most physical sense, I am going somewhere. But I don’t feel inspired today. Twelve hours into my travels, I’m incredibly jet-lagged, and I’m also stuck in a funk. I’m about to turn 30, and

IntroductionHello Wonderful Readers,One year ago, I became an author. As I tucked into a giant half-baked cookie pan and vanilla ice cream to celebrate (thank you to the charming man who ordered it for me), I reflected on my failures and learnings this last year. Today, I want to share those with you.This year, my attitude towards living a creative life has changed completely. Since I started believing that self-improvement is a farce, I quickly put aside all my excuses to “merely do the work” (Seth

My Ego Stroke of A Lifetime

Hello Wonderful Readers,Late last Thursday evening, I felt terrible. As I walked with my two friends through the dark, tree-lined streets of Mexico City to a cocktail bar, a giant, hollow pit was growing inside me. Not because I was hungry. I had just eaten two slices of my favorite pizza in the whole world: the Picante Pep from Hanks. But not even that salami, basil, and sweet, spicy honey could comfort me. Arturo, my new love interest, had promised to meet up at Casa Franca. And I still hadn’t

Hello Wonderful Readers,I’m struggling to write to you right now. I was on a bender until 3 am this morning, and last night was filled with so many juicy details that it will take me at least a couple of weeks to tell you all about it.Of course, a new guy has entered my life, and I’m nervous to write about him because he reads my work and is supportive of me. As you know, in the recent months of writing Misseducated, I’ve been burned by my own work much more than I hoped, and it has hurt. Yet,
