In this episode of Missed Calls, I return after a little break to leave a voicemail for my dad. It’s been a while since I’ve spoken to him, and a lot has happened. I share updates on my recent travels to Vietnam—a place that will always feel like home. From catching up with old friends and enjoying local hot pot spots to reflecting on past memories, this episode is a mix of nostalgia and healing.

Listen in as I talk about reconnecting with the people and places that mean so much to me, Creature’s latest adventure (and vet visit), and how I’ve started to feel more like myself again after such a long time. I reflect on the transformation I've undergone since 2019 and how it’s led to a "new normal" in my life. I also share my thoughts on the connection I still feel with my dad, especially through dreams, and how his legacy of kindness continues to resonate in the world around me.
