I'll be honest, I was dealing with some stuff when I recorded this episode, so we kind of drifted to a lot of things, from feminism in gothic literature to keeping a business afloat when everything is falling apart to keeping the creative spark alive and lots of stuff in between.

The benefits of slow multitasking
How to transition your creativity and stay alive when everything it falling apart
