I need you here. Because you keep me strong. I have faith that we will make it through. Together.
In this episode, I'm sharing an original piece I wrote for when you're feeling dark. For those times you feel hopeless and alone, for when you aren't sure what your purpose is or if life actually does get better.
This is my love letter to you.

Welp, I disappeared for a while there. You probably noticed. I was busy decomposing. Here's how I came back from the dead by literally tripping up Death, and a mysteriously vague hint at what was actually going onâsome of which I've never talked about publicly (only Patreon folx get it). Also, some lessons I learned about going through major sh!t.

I was an extra in a major motion picture that I canât talk about yet. In this episode, Iâll tell you all about my experience: rehearsing with face masks, waking up at 3 am for an early call time, and throwing my guts up in the middle of it all. Glamorous. Hey, itâs life. I got back out there anyway. Just sucks that I couldnât eat any of the delicious vegan food they provided. // This episode was sponsored by Sarah! Thanks to all ou...
