In this pilot episode of Traversing Tuesdays, EmKay shares the real-life story of how she unexpectedly became unemployed — and how that moment reshaped her identity, creativity, and sense of direction.

With gentle storytelling, quiet humor, and reflections on chronic illness, burnout, and personal reinvention, this episode begins a slow and intentional journey through uncertainty, purpose, and creative resilience.

You’ll also meet the show’s unexpected co-hosts — including a poetic squirrel newscaster, a nap consultant cat, and a philosophical water glass — who help set the tone for this whimsical yet grounded podcast world.

Whether you’re navigating a life transition, facing burnout, or simply craving a podcast to hug your brain, this one’s for you.
