D jumps on the mic and reflects on 2022. He also talks about how he's changing his approach to goals in 2023. This is a short bonus episode so we hope we can keep you company as you drive to your new years party or while you're cleaning up or something. Thanks again for a great year of podcasting.  

Content Warning: This weeks episode contains discussions of the topic suicide. If this is a sensitive topic for you please take care of your self and if that means not listening to this episode we wholeheartedly support that decision. If you would like to simply skip the part where D's talking about that, you can fast forward from the 29 minute mark to the 30 minute mark. 

This week on the podcast D talks to psychologist and co-founder of the Being Human Club, Ashley Wanamaker. And they basically become best friends!! Not really but it is a good conversation about mental health, healing, the wellness industry, anti-racism, anti-misogyny, and they gush over Taylor McNallie.

D jumps on the mic real quick to talk about his new song, Staring at the Wall, some weird DMs he's gotten, and the transition from being a failed musician to an up-and-coming poet. 

This week D jumps on the mic to talk about 4 tips on balancing productivity and happiness, the laziness lie, and how he's reframing goals moving forward. Huge thank you to everyone who has supported the podcast this year. It means a lot to us at Don't Fret. 

This title is misleading...This week D talks to public speaker, advocate, and shit disturber Taylor McNallie. Taylor discusses her community work with Walls Down Collective, what defunding the police and abolition really mean, her media company, growing up Black in Canada and so much more. We hope you can overlook D's apparent nervousness and enjoy what Taylor has to say in this banger of an episode.
