In this episode which is sponsored by our wonderful partners at Inflow I'm going on the record about something extremely important: loud music makes food taste bad, and I will not be taking questions or feedback on this. I support your live music. I will not consume it while eating my French fries. These are two separate things.

I also have a feelings-based relationship with computer keyboards that started in approximately 1994 in a Radio Shack, has never ended, and apparently runs in the family.

We also get into a question from Kayla in Tallahassee that stopped me: when I finally slow down, everything I've been avoiding emotionally shows up at once.

Rest feels dangerous. I have thoughts on this — including the uncomfortable truth that you cannot outrun trauma, it is always there, and you are not smarter than it.

(Neither am I. Trust me.)

Plus I read a listener review that is basically the entire reason this show exists.

1. The sensory case against restaurant live music
2. Keyboard switches, lifelong fixations, and the difference between that and a hyperfixation
3. When your kid inherits the trait you didn't mean to pass on
4. Listener Q: why does rest feel like an ambush?
5. You can't outrun what you haven't processed
