In the sixth episode of ‘Making it’ in Western Europe, Zsofi and I talked to Julie, Lazy Women's new newsletter editor. Originally from Russia, Julie was arrested for her involvement in anti-war demonstrations and - with a short stop in Armenia - ended up in Paris.
This was a difficult but powerful conversation about leaving everything behind, beauty standards, new languages, loneliness and the 'need' to fit in, Slavic stereotypes, the importance of having and building communities, and what it feels like to be a Russian woman in Europe right now.
Would you like to dive deeper into any of these themes? Then join Julie and Eloïse at our next 'Making it' Pod Talk! Our Pod Talks are open and intimate community reflections where we share our own experiences, ask questions and collectively reflect on what the themes of identity and belonging actually mean to us. We will be sharing more info soon, so make sure to follow us on socials not to miss the sign up link!
