On My Mind is a diary in podcast form. The diarist is influencer Ava Jules. She got her start as a YouTube vlogger when she was just 13 years old. Ava has since gained a significant following and product endorsements.
In On My Mind, Ava is all grown up as she hits her 20s. Much of the podcast focuses on her attempts at "adulting." One episode celebrates her first anniversary of living alone. Ava uses the opportunity to recap the challenges she hadn't foreseen. She also talks about the positive aspects of having one's own place and going her own way.
Every podcast episode is a mix of personal journal, self-help, advice, and deep thoughts. "Finding Yourself in Your 20s" outlines a young woman's struggle to figure out who she is. Ava is fond of giving advice and does so in her "Advice Sesh" episodes. No topic is too heady for Ava. She has opinions on making new friends, maintaining balance in life, boys, and much more. There are also guests on On My Mind. Ava chats with content creators Kela Rose and Makena Gallagher.
On My Mind also invites listeners to share their embarrassing stories and relationship horror stories. These episodes may delight people who love to snicker over salacious gossip. Some episodes are "how tos." They explain how to become one's own BFF, how to stop feeling off, or how to make your morning routine count. To keep things light, Ava chats about her favorite journal prompts and things in life that make it worth living. But Ava is also a businesswoman. She devotes one episode to business talk with Lalalooopsie, a fashion photographer.
On My Mind is a cultural artifact representing a generation who grew up online. Starting at a young age, Ava's entire life has been public, and privacy is an alien concept to her. She is comfortable laying out her inner thoughts. Ava sees herself as a brand as much as she sees herself as a person. For this reason alone, the podcast illuminates the minds of people her age.
