A Tough Week (Please See Show Notes)
I thought twice before releasing this episode. It feels very vulnerable, and I want to warn you that the audio quality is nowhere near the quality that it normally is. Please know that if this is the first episode you've ever listened to, this is NOT a normal episode and there are far better episodes on this podcast. This really is for my long-time listeners. Now, for the typical description...
Let's get real, we all have tough weeks, and I'm no different.
In this raw, uncomfortable, and vulnerable episode, I share some of my thoughts about my rough week and how I'm dealing with it.
I hope this episode stays with you and that you can pull some nuggets of wisdom to help you through your own tough moments.
