For sure! That will be on the next episode. Plan to record soon, though October is busy for me so not sure when it'll actually come out yet.

I appreciate your thoughts! I recorded this about a month ago, and essentially put a full month into it. I think things are going really well so far.

I do have some grief about how they scale content, but at this point in the game for me that doesn't really matter. Though might be later lol.

Weirdly enough I met an old coworker of yours who came to speak at my college's journalism class.

Unfortunately this was like 10 years ago so I dont remember who he was but wonder if I dug up some old school notes if id find it lol

Yeah I think I have such a history of doing so much all at once, that it's hard to know what is OK to let slide or not.

I definitely think I've gotten a lot better, but there are still moments where I feel guilty.

I wonder if the answer for me is taking those feelings and contextualizing them?

I appreciate it! I think I agree with most of the things you said and I've also done a lot of that too through therapy thankfully.

But yeah it's like rewiring my brain at 35 years old, which feels tough lol. But I do believe it's possible.

Not that external stress will never be a part of my life, but I don't necessarily need to create a bunch of it just to whip myself basically lol.

Kind of all 3 lol. I've been trying to remove all of those feelings from my life, but it's also like how I've operated for so long it can feel challenging to know how to operate without it lol.

Yeah, I can understand that. I'm usually pretty open to everyone, but there have been a few rare cases when I've really had to basically disengage with someone as much as possible because it was really impacting me.

But I'd imagine it's hard to escape when you're in these more niche spaces.

Sounds like there's a lot going on there, so I think I'll take a step back from that one, but I appreciate you sharing your thoughts.
