This show is a living archive of becoming.
It’s an ode to awakening, remembering, and reclaiming your creative power in a chaotic, ever-shifting world.
Hosted by Vanessa Fontana - a 25-year-old writer living in New York City - it explores what it means to live in the in-between of not having it all figured out but not needing to in order to live well.
Bridging esoteric wisdom, philosophy, literature & lore, healing, empowerment, and humor, this podcast is your companion to navigate the complexities of adulthood and live more authentically.
