Hey, Slackers!

This episode was meant to be a laid-back "Whatever Wednesday," but it turned into something deeper as I felt the need to share what's been weighing on me.

Recovering from surgery has been tougher than expected, and I open up about the challenges I've faced. Like many of us, especially in Gen X, we tend to push through pain, illness, or struggles with a "grit your teeth and move on" mentality. While there's strength in that resilience, it can also be a risky approach that overlooks our well-being.

I also touch on the state of our healthcare and food industries and their profound impact on our health. This shouldn’t be a political issue—the goal is simple: a happier, healthier population with world-class standards.

This isn’t my typical pop culture episode. It’s raw, honest, and reflective, born from a year of navigating serious health challenges. Here’s hoping for brighter days in the months ahead.
