Dear Diary & Listeners,

I am stressed this week. 

I have so many things going at once. 

The holidays crept up and I feel like I am burning the candle at both ends. 

I've found myself in a strange lull because of the holidays. Everywhere I look someone is experiencing joy and new beginnings. 

I held space for myself for a moment, but didn't let it get the best of me. Between family, friends, and Italian Batman- there is so much potential, positivity, and love in my life right now. 

Thats why this week it's extra appropriate to introduce you to my Mom for the very first time. 

In Episode 8, you will get a first-hand, unfiltered (as always) view as to what Life with Dick looked like from a Mother's perspective. 

Join us as this delusional cross-country road trip takes us to Lake Geneva, WI & Huntsville, AL and takes Dick on a Farewell to FinDom Tour all along the East Coast. 

Prepare yourself for some SHOCKING confessions. 

Oh - and in this Episode, Dick leaves his precious computer unlocked while he goes on a day trip to see a "client" in Reno. 

Finally, you're never going to FUCKING guess who calls me... 

 

** One last thing. If you find yourself feeling down because of the holidays. Seriously- shoot me a message. I'll be the first to remind you that your presence in this World is not only important; it may be the very reason someone else exists...**

 

Forever Speaking My Truth,
