Mermaiding "Off Season"
There are a lot of different activities to take part in during the mermaid off season to suit many different mermaid interests. Art, strength training, creating YouTube content, tail making/repairs, creating accessories, crafts, games, books, movies, and staying in touch with your community are just a few of the options that are available.
Mermaiding isn't always about swimming in a mermaid tail. It can be so much more than that. It's all about how you choose to frame it and what you choose to focus on.

Telling Everyday People You Are a Mermaid
I actually got this week's episode topic confused with one that will be coming out in August. This was supposed to be talking about how to explain mermaiding to people and it turned into more of a "how to tell people you are a mermaid" situation. Hopefully it still makes sense and it is still a super important topic/something a lot of you ask me about. I hope you enjoy it and stay tuned for that follow up episode coming up in August!
