Unstrictly Speaking

Unstrictly Speaking

This is my li'l podcast where I'll be sharing self-publishing tips, sometimes singing, usually sharing stories from my life, philosophizing ideas to chew on and...I dunno...identify with? Subjects tackled may sometimes, often, or never include: the world today (Because what is UP?) how to find happiness (And I dunno, keep it?) How do I do this? (This whole THIS!) Getting over trauma (Because seriously.) Manifesting stuff (Always a fun subject we all care about.) Letting go of the past (Thank God that’s over) Living in the Now (Wait, now? No, now. Now? Yes, Now…I think?) Welcome to byte-sized ponderings about anything, everything, and maybe even nothing. ✨💛✨

Ep. 19: Good People : A “Mechanical” Surprise

December 28, 2023 • 5 mins
Ever wonder how so many people think that the world is full of bad people and yet you know so many good ones? “There’s a lot of bad people out there” is some thing I hear a lot over the years and I have seen that it’s actually the opposite. There are not that many bad people out there. That’s why they stick out. There are a lot more good people and this is the story of one. I’ve been seeing that as I connect with more people the su...

I will give more in depth tips too! With better audio. I swear I know how to do this.
