A Thousand Tiny Steps

Needing an Escape Plan


Listen Later

On the 4th of July, I think about my memories with Molly and what kind of future I'll help create for Jack. I have been doing deep work with my anger, self sabotage, and this idea that I need an escape plan. Putting all my eggs in one basket makes me nervous and makes me feel like I need a plan B. I am learning to navigate these emotions and attempt to pull my life together.
