    Jade you should do the most unserious thing ever and bring Ruby, Eve, Jack together in an episode and bring back the wooden spoon for just one episode and you can all talk about your separate journey's and how much you've all grown in different amazing ways from that time. A nostalgia episode if you will. I want to see you all hold a serious conversation when you're all back together. I want to see you all laugh at the failed attempts haha.

    I love that you've both happened to go from studytube icons to queer icons and I'm so here for it, also you telling her that specific part of the bedroom mirror moment and her reaction to it is just so pure and relatable

    As someone who graduated law school a few years ago and got into corporate, but is starting to fall out of love with it, is so comforting to hear that Eve (someone who I’ve been subscribed to since I started law school) went through something similar and came out winning ❤

    Really interesting discussion. Personally I know nothing about law, I'm an engineering student but I feel the same as Eve sometimes, that perfectionism is the when engineering stems from mistakes, correction and testing. We need to bring creativity back to the workplace.

    This podcast episode was so damn special. I had never heard of Eve before this and I could not stop feeling really emotional throughout the segments of this video…. Just the self discovery and the wisdom with which Eve speaks because of the unpacking, questioning and exploration of the self that has gone in… in equal parts with job-related discovery and having a job that serves you, that gives you a purpose and is fulfilling and expressive as well as the queer discovery ❤
    Oh my god I really really needed this
    As an British Indian/ Indian I have not even been in a relationship and I’m 20. I want to explore the space and want to be open to relationships so I know what I want, just like Eve was talking about how being in relationships with men weren’t serving her. This whole conversation was SO DAMN EMPOWERING
    I just feel light. Like I can breathe fully. Like a can walk fully and freely with a spring in my step…
    Thank you Jade
    Thank you Eve

    'You're so pretty it hurts I'm not talking about guys I'm talking about girls' thi song was playing in my head the entire queer journey part of the video. Jade and Eve coming out to each other is such a wholesome moment in the video awwhhhh!! Eve's journey is one of self confrontation and courage. Every word she spoke in this episode, she is speaking God's Honest Truth. This just might be my comfort episode tied with one with ruby. I related to this episode, and Eve so much. The whole part about marriage as a queer person is just gold. It's so insightful and such a queer experience. And I also really really loved when Eve started talking about how amazing engineers are and this might be my bias saying because I'm an engineer but I loved that part. It's so lovely to see the both of you and it's been amazing to grow up with you. I love and admire Eve so much. She is just the most incredible human being ever.

  • @jbrkjferkjbekjb
    @jbrkjferkjbekjb 2 дні тому

    Based on what Eve has described, it sounds like she dislikes corporate law in a biglaw environment. To be honest, she suits litigation much more if she has a history of arguing for causes in college. Actually not all law firms are sterile like she described, only in her particular corporate law field in that biglaw environment (probably mostly her team too). Law firm environments can be highly varied, but I’m pretty sure litigation suits her so much more. You can also earn decent income even if you’re not in a magic circle law firm, so it’s not necessarily an “either-or” situation

    what does being queer mean? I’ve never really understood it and would be grateful if someone could explain it and how it differs from other lgbtq+ identities! 😊

    • @bori4683
      @bori4683 Місяць тому +2

      it is basically an umbrella term for people who don't identify with being a hetero, cis person but also not 100% comfortable with any of the other, more specific labels like gay, lesbian bi, trans... It is a good way for people to express that they are a part of the community (actually the Q in LGBTQ+ stands for queer), but without really defining how they specificly feel about their gender or sexuality. Labels are for a lot of people help to discover themselves, it can be really healing to have language witch can describe parts of yourself that is so often really challanging to understand and come to terms with. However both gender and sexuallity is quite a fluid thing (some of their aspects we sill lack universal language for) especially for people at the beginig of discovering themselves, so using queer, for a lot of people, is a way to avoid being "closed in" a "smaller", more specific label.

    I will say that all the worries you have about feeling weird about being given away at your wedding, the social constructs etc. feel very weird in a straight wedding too.
    It was very odd knowing that there were things at our wedding I'd want to challenge social norms ( like having a "brides man" and "groomswoman")that to me seemed perfectly normal. But it was still met with " that's not very traditional".
    Pretty much every "tradition" you can think of apart from the white dress we did the opposite.
