Throughout my daily life, I am constantly listening to music though I switched to podcasts when painting a few years back. Most of them consist of true crime/true horror. I’m not into listening to people just having conversations. I like stories.
 
When I started listening to these podcasts, I quickly realized that there are often situations that I take for granted, that are completely different for ladies. The stories I’ve heard are often in settings that I wouldn’t think twice about. Things as mundane as shopping or walking down the street can morph into anxiety inducing situations because there are a lot of creepy guys out there.
Stay safe.
