I’m back, after a month rest. This week, I’m keeping it honest. Sometimes life feels heavy, and I just needed to talk about it.
⚠️ Trigger warning: I talk a bit about depression and my lifelong struggle with suicidal ideation in this episode. It’s not all gloom, but I feel it’s my responsibility to warn people in case that’s triggering.
Luckily, there’s also humor, hope, and a lot of love (plus a few jokes at my own expense) This isn’t a sad episode. It’s about learning to laugh through the hard stuff, finding light in strange places, and remembering that being human means feeling everything.
Whether you’re an atheist, a believer, or just someone doing your best — you’re welcome here.
