Recorded Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with my fam. Had to get all of the weight loss challenge stuff on wax, so here it is. Huge shout out to my parents for hiring a professional commentator and DJ to handle all the walk up music and announcements. The power of Task Rabbit! Hope you all enjoy this. I turn 34 today, and this was a super fun episode to publish today.

WARNING: This is a pretty intense episode, so please be prepared.

After spending more than 20 hours on this episode, I can honestly say this is my proudest creation. This was such an emotionally difficult piece of art to make, and I thought about giving up so many times. Now that it's done, I'm so glad I pushed myself and am sharing this with the world.

A bit on the surprised side that it took me a year of podcasting to publish an acid episode, but here we go. Definitely a lot I would want to do differently next time, but liked how this turned out. Hope you enjoy!

Second podcast with Rachel was a roller coaster. Started a bit rough but I think we ended up talking about a lot of important stuff. 00:00:40 Welcome Rachel!

Been thinking a lot about comfortability lately and how I want to comunicate in my relationships. These ideas are still pretty raw, and will evolve over time, but this is a good insight into how I process thoughts at the beginning phases of development.

The Jacob pod is in the books. This was a pretty hard podcast to make chapter markers for because the conversation flowed very seamlessly from one topic to the next.  Jacob has grown so much since I first met him, and it was great to talk to him about his thoughts on life and see how he has changed over time. Can't wait to record round 2 with him.
