Hi, I'm team. I am alone in the metaphorical studio today, and we're going to get a little

vulnerable today. We are going to get a little little

touchy feely and we're gonna do something that we haven't done on this show yet

which is go hashtag deep.

But yeah, today's episode is gonna be a little bit different.

I'm recording this, I don't even know if we'll use it, I don't even know if we'll actually ever publish it

Kristen our podcast producers out this week and I just thought I'd hop on the mic and

tell you about something that I wrote about a little bit ago and that I just feel like it was really helpful.

It was really helpful for me to unpack it and it's something that I have dealt with over the past couple

years more seriously in like 2020 to 2022 and that completely altered and changed my life in a like really soul impacting

personality changing life as I know it is over kind of way.

And if you are at that space in your life? Well, welcome, strap in. I should probably do a nice

little trigger warning that we are going to talk about grief today. We are going to talk about loss and

depression and suicide and if that's not what you're about, you can skip this one, don't you can skip this one.

Don't you worry.

It'll be here if you're ready and also you never have to listen to it if you don't want to

I First need to start this episode by saying that I am very lucky in the lost department.

No one significantly close to me and my family has died, knock on wood. So I am not the grief expert. I am not the, I'm not the,

what's going to say the voice of grief.

I am not a psychologist first of all and I am also not someone who has had, thankfully, a lot of capital T tragedy in their life.

However, without revealing too much

and keeping my privacy and those who were involved's privacy, there it is.
