The Uncertain Cool Girls.

New new newsletter!

Fifteen; Vaccines and Rainbows. and taking a hiatus from the newsletter.

We’ve got lots of weird stuff to help make your upcoming week better. You can listen at the link bwlow, or on Apple Podcasts OR on Spotify.

Love you so much. Stay safe and happy this week!

The Uncertain Cool Girl. A newsletter about living well.... jk, it's mostly essays about how to cope with misery.

Good morning! I hope you’re doing okay.

I’ve decided, for lack of anything better to write about, to deep dive into my travel diaries from the six months I spent abroad in 2019. I’ve never written about it other than some bulleted notes I wrote in a journal. It was a very bizarre experience being that removed from my life and anyone I knew for that long. I’m considering sending this series a bit more frequently than every two weeks, so you may see me pop into your inbox on an unexpected day of the week for the next few weeks as I work through this. Maybe you won’t find this interesting. Feel free to reply to any of these emails to tell me if you think I’m boring. That’s the sort of feedback I really welcome and value.

Okay, enough excuse-making. Here are the first few days of my six months spent alone on the opposite side of the ocean. Maybe it feels like it ends abruptly, but remember it’s actually just the beginning.

See you later this week.

Tchau, tchau!

Fourteen; Self inflicted lonliness in the south of Portugal. 2019 Travel Diary, Pt. 001.

I recorded the episode on my own this week. It's just me, philosophizing about YouTube. Click the link to listen, but I won't blame you if you don't.

Episode 13: I hosted this episode alone. Listen now (32 min) | Good morning! I hope you’re doing okay. This one may be a little awkward to listen to. I recorded it all by myself since Hannah is still MIA (has anyone seen that girl, btw? I’m starting to get worried…). I’m not saying it was awkward to record, I am very used to talkin...

Here's my latest newsletter where I tell you too much about the inner workings of my brain.

Love you, bye!

Thirteen; The Difficulties of Happiness. These are my confessions //Just when I thought I said all I can say//My chick on the side said she got one on the way.

Michael co-hosted our podcast this week so now you can finally listen to us giggle on the record on Spotify and Apple Podcasts now.

It's podcast Sunday! Hannah was MIA this week so we enlisted friend/influencer/sugar baby Michael Gaty to co-host the episode, and we had a phenomenal time discussing our theories on how we think Hilary Duff smells and whether or not Shakshuka is a Persian dish our not. Riveting stuff! Not to be missed! Listen now!

Episode 12: Special Co-host, Hilary Duff Deep Dive, "Younger", "It's A Sin", Memories of Partying and Karaoke. Listen now (38 min) | Good morning! I hope you’re doing okay. Today’s episode is very special!!! Hannah was unavailable to record so we enlisted our dear, dear friend Michael Gaty to take her co-host seat and honestly, we had such a ball we’ve fired Hannah and hired Michael permenantly (jk, lo...

TBH I'm over it.

Twelve; I don't want to write anymore. I just want to go out.

What we're reading this long weekend:

Rihanna Wears a Ginormous Fur Hat and Feathered Jeans She also is carrying some essential literature that feels oh-so Riri.

Funny.

A Pandemic College Essay That Probably Won’t Get You Into Brown Freshman year, I auditioned for “The Glass Menagerie.” I find it very ironic that now we see that life is as precious as those fateful glass figurines due to COVID-19.

NEW PODCAST DAY IS THE BEST DAY! Available now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and Substack! Just for you! We do it all for you! :)

Episode 11- Demi Lovato, Sarah Ramos, and #hotgirls**t with Kendall, Kylie and Hailey Listen now (39 min) | We had our s**t together a *bit* more this week.

I had a leak in my roof last week, among other things.

Eleven; Dear Diary. Listen now (7 min) | Vol. I

This has been a weird week for both Hannah and Robin. We were simultaneously busy and bored. We could barely bring ourselves to read, watch or listen to anything. Maybe it’s the year anniversary of Lady Corona making her entrance into our lives, or maybe it’s the change of season, or maybe it’s just us being in weird moods.

Whatever it is, it feels very real for us in this moment.

Instead of our usual style of episode, this week you get us a little more raw, a lot more giggly, and a fairly honest confessional of how we’re feeling.

If it’s not for you, we totally get it, and we promise the next episode we will be back to our old selves. You can listen above, or on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. Please let us know if you’ve been feeling weird this week too, so we feel less alone.

Episode 10; Kathryn Hahn, Megan Markle, Rose Cousins, Burritos and Seinfeld. Listen now (28 min) | Wow, hi. Good morning. I hope you’re doing okay. This has been a weird week for both Hannah and me. We were simultaneously busy and bored. We could barely bring ourselves to read, watch or listen to anything. Maybe it’s the year anniversary of Lady Corona making her entranc...

Happy Valentine's day you beautiful creatures!

We have a really great new podcast episode that just went live.

Both Hannah and I wish you a day of selfishness- even if you have a partner. We hope you give all the love to yourself. And if you are finding yourself in a situation of unrequited love, we doubly wish this upon you. You deserve the world- so give yourself the world.

Blessings and well wishes.

In case you missed it--- we had our dear friend and powerhouse multi-talented theatre artist Ellen Denny on the show yesterday.

We discussed her up-coming project February: a love story, how it feels to make theatre during a pandemic, how she chooses her collaborators and how to apply for grants (and how to keep going when you don't get them).

It's a fun episode and we want you to listen!!!

‎The Uncertain Cool Girl(s).: Episode 7; Artist Interview w/ Ellen Denny. on Apple Podcasts ‎Show The Uncertain Cool Girl(s)., Ep Episode 7; Artist Interview w/ Ellen Denny. - Jan 30, 2021

We’ve got our friend/actor/playwright/producer/opera singer Ellen Denny on the show today to discuss her pandemic project February: a love story and what it’s like to create theatre during a pandemic.

Ellen is based in Toronto which means “February: A Love Story” has had to be moved online due to the enforced lockdown happening in Ontario- the show will now be streamed online from February 14th-March 7th (which tbh is great news for all of us who aren’t in Toronto and now get a chance to take in the show).

We have all the details on how to get pay-what-you-can tickets in our show notes (click the link!)
