💃🏻 Dates and Dancing and Dresses, Oh My!
⏪️ March Recap
We welcomed spring, but March 2025 is exiting the building. ✌🏼
Here’s an “In Case You Missed It” (ICYMI) Recap of the month for The 9 Lives of Rachel Jitsawat.
🎙️ Crush Recap: Favorites of the Season's Millennial Girl Talks with Guests + Future Plans
The Crush Chronicles Podcast, episode 7
On March 5th, I released the 7th episode of The Crush Chronicles Podcast. Hear an excerpt from the previous Jitsie Jot and listen to all six season guests in one episode. ICYMI, give it a listen.
💔 The Crush Chronicles: Johnny, Part 2
On the 12th, I released “Dancing with My Date”. Hardly ever asked to go to school dances, Teenage Rachel, now a junior in high school, gets asked to the Christmas Dance (circa 2002). ICYMI (yes, that is actually Teenage Rachel pictured below), here it is:
💃🏻 Dancing with My Date: How can you fall for someone this quickly? 🕺🏻
December approached, as did one of the school’s annual dances, the oh-so cleverly named Christmas Dance. I loved attending dances, and our school had many, but I rarely went because I hardly ever had a date. This time, though, Johnny asked me.

The Crush Chronicles Podcast, episode 8
Last week, I released the 8th episode of The Crush Chronicles Podcast. This was my first paid subscriber bonus, but all members may enjoy a free preview. This bonus includes extra interview questions that were not featured in previous episodes. ICYMI, give it a listen.
What’s to Come
Next month, I plan to:
end The Crush Chronicles Podcast
with the finale episode
begin accepting applications for guests for the second season of the podcast
Share a new Jitsie Jot with a new freebie
Post a new chapter to Johnny’s story
with new journal prompts and a coordinating playlist (for paid subscribers)
I am also in the middle of a writing class, in which I (if all goes well) will be awarded a writing certification. I am building a portfolio of writing pieces in many different genres, not just memoirs, and plan to share these as Jitsie Jots in the coming months. Some of the genres include:
memoir
review writing
analytical writing
literary narratives
and more
I hope you will continue on my writing journey with me as I continue to embrace the Substack platform.
Until next time,
✌🏼 Jitsie
