This third episode should feel like the thesis of the whole thing — not just what happened, but why it matters. Not just “I’m talking again,” but “I hope this made you feel something other than existential dread and the need to apply for a visa.”

I’ve been academically ghosted, emotionally taxed, and spiritually exhausted.

THE YEAR THAT ALMOST KILLED ME! So I want to say “this year steamrolled my life,” but in a way that doesn’t make people think I’m about to start crying into my mic mid-recording. I want realism with edge, feeling without the therapy session. Got it? A balancing act between “here’s what went down” and “don’t ask me how I’m doing unless you have four hours and snacks.”
