Happy Unsubscribe Day to all those who celebrate! Always some random thing from years ago coming out of the woodwork on Cyber Monday...

For years, I’ve been a podcast addict, filling every void with endless information. But lately, I’ve made a change and started reaching for music instead. It’s been a game-changer. I now have more time to reflect on **my own** thoughts and feelings. Imagine that 🤦‍♂️
