Today's show is going to be very different than the first 23 episodes, so if this is your first time, I'd definitely recommend going back and listening to those episodes to get a sense of what this podcast is actually like week to week.

Huge thanks to poet Barbara Ras for her permission to read "You Can't Have It All" in this episode. The poem is included in her collection Bite Every Sorrow.

The podcast will be on a break for two weeks. We'll be back again on November 17 with some seriously fascinating guests to add joy to your life.
