In this episode of Thick & Thin we discuss a few new goals of mine here in LA. We also chat about Shiny Object Syndrome, which is essentially the act of diving into a slew of different "shiny" projects, never quite finishing things, fear of commitment, being super scattered in your interests, etc. Then, I tell the tale of Grace O'Malley, aka the Pirate Queen of Ireland. She was a fearless pirate & skilled negotiator, married twice, divorced once, took a lover when she wanted, and gave birth to one of her sons on the deck of her own ship. Essentially a total bad**s and I'm so excited to share her story with you all. // Historical Sources: Granuaile ( https://www.amazon.com/Granuaile-Times-Grace-OMalley-1503-1603/dp/0863276318/?tag=mf-art-smart-shopping-20 ) : The Life and Times of Grace O'Malley ; Pirate Queen ( https://www.amazon.com/Pirate-OMalley-Judith-1-Sep-2004-Paperback/dp/B012HU5H0I/?tag=mf-art-smart-shopping-20 ) ; Anecdotes of the Aristocracy ( https://archive.org/details/cu31924088003086/page/n7?q=%252522grace+o%252527malley%252522 ) ; "The day the Virgin Queen bowed to the pirate queen," Times of London ( http://tinyurl.galegroup.com/tinyurl/773Fr3 ) ; A Forgotten Part of Ireland ( https://archive.org/details/forgottenpartofi00joycrich/page/n4?q=%252522grace+o%252527malley%252522 ) ; "Gráinne Mhaol, Pirate Queen of Connacht: Behind the Legend," History Ireland ( https://www.jstor.org/stable/27725236?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents ). // Follow me on IG: instagram.com/katybellotte
