A funny thing tends to happen when I’m working on an episode. The themes I reflect on in the past, start to surface in the stories and conversations around me.

People close to me have been clearing their own space, ending relationships, committing to new changes and habits, moving, buying houses, hitting big life milestones.

Personally I took on a new side-job and moved to a new apartment in the heart of the city. And as the outward changes settle, I’ve been having fun thinking about what inward shifts have followed suit, and where I’ve been tempted to stay the same.

That said, here’s an episode that was a lot of fun to write & took a lot of help to get wrapped up. The interviews, the translation, the sound – not least of all the reminders from friends that they’ve been waaaaiiiting for the next one. Here it is!Much love, Riley
