The podcast is going on hiatus as D has decided to put more of his energy and focus into his writing and making content that he's proud of. This isn't forever. Thank you to everyone who has listened and supported over the years. We appreciate you - The Don't Fret team.

This week I dive into some booktok drama that happened last week and share my thoughts on some people feeling entitled to their dreams.
