In this episode, we begin to understand how the context of marriage was disempowering for Michael. Having come from a broken home he had blocked a lot out. How he chose to deal with things only had two options for him. He was either angry or he was hungry. Those were his options. It wasn’t until he began to take notice and start to be responsible for his actions that he realized how to be responsible. 

As a listener, I imagine what it must be like to hear Michael share something so personal. As his story develops into future episodes, I am proud of how this episode shapes what is to come and what is available for you the audience of listeners.
