Enjoy this spoken-diary reflection on the week just past, including all the ways I used to spend celebrating my birthday in the past and why I much prefer a solo trip to the Writer's Fest these days!

I also share how I am feeling post traumatic Good Reads peeking (note to self: never again) and why I think I was able to move through it so quickly, even with it poking on every wound I have when it comes to shining and doing this work in the world.

The ep wraps with some of your beautiful birthday questions around what I feel 36 and the year ahead will bring.
