I walk out of the forest and into a clearing.

The sun is shining. The grass is almost glowing. Giant boulders surround me, and somewhere in the distance, I hear a rhythmic thumping.

Then I see him.

What happens next is something I can still picture perfectly—and somehow, this isn’t the first time I’ve been there.

October is officially here, Sources, and I want your scary stories. Paranormal shit. Recurring nightmares. Creepy coincidences. Haunted houses. Something you saw that you still can’t explain. Something that happened when you were a kid that nobody believed.

If it scared the shit out of you, I want it.

I’m putting together an episode featuring your scary stories before Halloween. 👻

This is Allegedly. And I’m The Source.

I’ve lost almost 20 pounds. I’m dressing differently. I’m exploring my spirituality. I’m wearing a little yellow rock that may or may not have changed my life.

And somehow, I feel more like myself than I have in a long time.

For years, I kept assigning things to some future version of me. I’d buy the clothes when I lost weight. I’d start the thing when I felt more confident. I’d join the group when I was less awkward. I’d become more myself… later.

But what if confidence doesn’t come first?

What if we stop waiting to become her and start living like her now?

I want to hear from you: What’s something you’ve been telling yourself you’ll do when you finally become some future version of yourself?

Sometimes sexism doesn’t sound hateful. Sometimes it sounds respectful, caring, or completely harmless.

In this episode, I’m talking about the everyday comments and expectations we’ve repeated for generations—from calling women “delicate” to treating men and women differently simply because of their gender. Most of it isn’t malicious. It’s automatic.

But maybe it’s worth asking why we believe these things in the first place—and whether the boxes we’ve created were always too fucking small.

I want to hear from you: What’s a seemingly harmless gender comment you’ve heard a million times that drives you crazy?
