If You Need Me

Despite the intention to release this episode on the one year anniversary of beginning the show, Andy spent most of July sick, and then resting. So now, a month later than its intended release, AC and Andy say (a temporary) farewell as they close out their first year hosting If You Need Me. A painful show at times to produce, but ultimately, one of the most healing experiences of their lives.

With only a week left until their final episode (for now), AC and Andy talk about letting go of their past issues, what that process has meant to them, and the differences in who they’ve become over the past year.

In two weeks, on their one year anniversary episode, AC and Andy will take a break from the show. And despite the fact that they intended to record a shorter episode, they accidentally recorded a full episode, thanks to an extended discussion on privacy and social media, and a much shorter discussion on jobs.

Things are back to normal with a normal sized episode, so AC talks about her birthday weekend, and Andy has extended thoughts about train travel.

Later, after a big announcement, AC and Andy wind the episode down with a discussion about vacations, and the fact that they could both use a vacation.

Look, there’s no way AC or Andy could make a full episode work today. They’re too busy. And also, who cares.

This week, it’s an episode, but also not an episode and Andy and AC try to deal with the poor timing of a recording and a last minute video production meeting.

Despite the shortened episode, Andy’s need to keep things somewhat on track forces a brief discussion on the idea of poor timing, and dealing with poor timing emotionally.

AC and Andy are two very busy people. And as such, they’re currently very tired. Tapped out. So instead of a longer episode, they decided on a much shorter one again.

AC and Andy successfully reintroduce a comfortable and recording atmosphere. So comfortable and relaxed that they completely forgot to record their usual intro.

Later in the show, Andy uses the stress of the past few weeks the segue AC into the discussion topic for the week, which is feelings of pressure, and how to deal with it.

Trying to recapture the magic of their relaxed episode from last week, AC and Andy have another free-wheeling conversation that ends up revealing more information about AC than Andy had known before.

And given their commitment to relaxation, the discussion topic becomes entirely about relaxation, why dark clouds aren’t actually hanging over us, and how change isn’t always difficult when you decide to embrace it.
