I talk about winter arriving, the grief-related and pandemic-related difficulties of December and January, nine months without Mom, writing, poetry, and Dungeons and Dragons, imposter syndrome, saying no to depression, and the weird ways anxiety manifests.

I mention a poet and a meditation guide by their names. Here are the links to the things I reference in this episode.

Andrew K. Peterson: Good Game

Tara Brach – Embodied Spirit

Also, as always, I swear and talk about a lot of heavy stuff; you've been warned.
