10M ago19:54

19:54

Greetings, Remember me? It's been over a year since I last published. I am still here. Life has gotten pretty distracting. What is it from? Not entirely sure. Maybe because I am now 30. Oh the joy I forgot about in releasing new episodes. This one is more late than episode 57. Time to be more intentional about things and get back on the horse. I wi…

Hi! This might have the most focused yet tangential intro, but I am super proud of the transition out of it! This episode is a little on the “real talk about the valleys in life” side with some injected funnies. Topics one and two lead up to three which is the big kahuna (12:16 – 15:20.)

Don't be misled by the episode titles. Well, mmmm, yeah. The titles are a naturally accurate depiction of something on my mind, which I'm sure you've figured out by now. Hurricane Sally made her way inland and Riley and I made it through, she did lose a few more fronds though. I think she's gone through 15-20 since January? Atlanta is nice and I've…
