Episode 2: Breaking the Habit of Focusing on the Bad

Dreaming After Dark is a personal space where I share my late night musings, thoughts about love, society, politics, and life in general. It’s unscripted and honest, a way for me to process what I’m thinking and feeling out loud.

Sometimes contemplative, sometimes impassioned, but always honest. These episodes are an offering to the universe and an open door to anyone who needs to hear them. Whether you’re here to reflect, feel less alone, or just drift in someone else’s thoughts for a while, I’m glad you’re here. Thanks for listening.
