Desperately Seeking

Mikhila McDaid

Personal essays in voice-note form, from your friendly neighbourhood oversharer.What began as a birthday bucket list, counting down to 40, evolved in to an exploration of the idea we (especially women) give fewer f*cks as we age. Most recently renamed 'Desperately Seeking' to fall in line with my substack title and make it more easy to find on your chosen podcast player. mikhila.substack.com
