    Watching & Listening – May/June 25

    Over the past couple of months, I’ve dipped into everything from emotional docuseries and twisty dramas to podcasts that made me laugh, cry, and question what’s real.

Some hits, some surprises—definitely a few I can’t stop thinking about.

    Watching on YouTube (2023 Favorites)

    Hey ya’ll! Today for my YouTube post, I decided to post my favorite channels for each category.

    YouTube Channel Favorites – Fall 2020

    I promised a while back that I would write a post about my favorite YouTube channels that I’m currently watching. I don’t know if you’ve embraced YouTube yet.
