Welcome back to The Bess Talks.

This episode was supposed to come out a long time ago.

I recorded it in December. It didn’t work.

I re-recorded it January 16th. I lost the edited file.

I had to buy new equipment. It was delayed.

We lost water during the freeze.

And in the middle of all of it… my grandma passed away. I miss her so much.

So if you’re listening to this right now, just know — this episode fought to exist.

And that feels fitting.

Because change is strange. Growth is uncomfortable. And becoming someone new rarely happens without resistance.
