From Broadway Dreams to 48 Songs at 36 | Allegra Leland | Becoming You Ep.93 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What if the life you thought you were building wasn’t actually the one you were meant for — and it took a neurological health crisis, a pandemic, and a cloud of cigarette smoke outside a grocery store to show you? Allegra Leland spent her 20s working steadily in musical theater, building toward Broadway. Then COVID stopped everything, motherhood changed everything, and a health crisis in 2024 nearly broke everything. What came out the other side was 48 original songs, a recording career she neve

Read excerpt
What if there’s a whole dimension of your mother’s personality you’ve never had access to — because you don’t speak her language? Emily Fuhrman started learning Korean during lockdown out of that exact curiosity. But this episode goes so much deeper than language. It’s about quitting a job on a whim, moving from New York to London, losing people you love, and learning to gallop across a frozen Mongolian steppe in minus-five-degree weather when grief gets too heavy to carry indoors. What You’ll L
Imparare l’Italiano da Zero: Un’Esperienza di Immersione di 7 Settimane | Becoming You Ep.98 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Com’è davvero imparare una lingua senza poter parlare inglese? In questo episodio parlo con la mia compagna di corso Lina della nostra esperienza di immersione in italiano di sette settimane alla Scuola di Italiano della Middlebury, a Bennington, in Vermont. Parliamo della paura del primo giorno, della sicurezza arrivata dopo sei settimane, del confronto tra italiano e francese, del sostegno della famiglia, e del proverbio italiano diventato il nostro mantra: “Finché c’è vita, c’è speranza.” Se
