Surprise! If you were listening last season, you know that returning this soon with Season Two was not part of the plan! We have been honored with a special opportunity, which brought us back early. Listen to learn more.

Previously on The Crush Chronicles Podcast:

Season One was nine splendid episodes, and it featured six delightful guests, all inspired by the stories of Robby, Blaine, and Zack. We discussed topics like word vomit and self-worth while falling merrily down the rabbit hole of millennial nostalgia. You can catch up with Season One here.

On Todays Episode

* Jitsie shares a big announcement!

* Catch a sneak peek of Episode 3.

* Jitsie shares her top 3 millennial celebrity crushes from her preteen era.

Whats to Come

Weve already got great episodes lined up, inspired by chapters from the story of Conner, including a chat with one of the characters from The Crush Chronicles series! Episodes will still be released bi-weekly (fortnightly).

We still need guests for Season Two episodes! All are welcome to apply.

* You must have access to a reliable web browser (interviews are recorded using Riverside).

* You must be willing to read a short excerpt from The Crush Chronicles (provided by Jitsie).

What a great season its been so far! I have loved creating this podcast and inviting guests into this space to chat and share love and laughs over a cup of coffee or tea.

The Guest Episodes

If you missed any of the previous episodes, never fear! I have a little snippet from all six episodes that are, in my opinion, the best snippets of them all. If you enjoy any of these little excerpts, I hope you give each guests episode a full listen (if you havent already.) They are all linked below.

Intro: Jitsie shares an excerpt from her latest Jitsie Jot.

Episode 1 Recap: Word Vomit and What We Want for Our Daughters with Simone

Episode 2 Recap: Impressions Made and Impressions Left with Kim of The Astral Priory

Episode 3 Recap: Friend-Zoning Yourself with Rebecca

Episode 4 Recap: The Brother Complex and Self-Sabotage with Noel

Episode 5 Recap: Realizing You Have a Crush with Ames

Episode 6 Recap: Trying to Impress a Crush with Kate

Whats to Come

The season isnt over yet! Though I have wrapped up interview episodes, I do have a couple more Id like to share:

The Bonus Episode: This episode will feature each guest one more time and include a special extra question related to the theme of their episode and/or millennial nostalgia. Though there will be a free preview, this episode will be for paid subscribers.

The Final Episode: This will be a solo episode. I will close out the season with a little something special and release applications for being a guest on Season Two.

See you next week!

The Woes of Coming of Age

In episode six of The Crush Chronicles Podcast, I welcome Kate (she/her), a woman who is busting down the door to her 40s, has a devoted love for music and is a West Coast girl at heart. In this episode, she shares the physical characteristics that stood out to her when she has had a crush, the evolution of her personal style as a millennial, and more.

Kate also dives deep with me into the conversation about the challenges of coming of age, including being a person who struggles with getting their period for the first time and dealing with bullies, among other topics.

If youd like to connect with and follow Kate, you can find her on Instagram @kmueller or on LinkedIn.

Although you do not have to have read the story of Zack (Music and Crop Tops)of which this episodes topics were inspiredto enjoy the show, you can read it via the link above if you would like.
