Hey, welcome back to Monocycle, a podcast by Man Repeller hosted by me, Leandro Medine.

This episode is brought to you by no one because we don't have any sponsors yet.

If you'd like to partner with us on MonoCycle, please do that.

Anyway, this week I'd like to touch upon a little bit of what we spoke about last week

because I feel like it would be vaguely sociopathic for me to not acknowledge the fact that I cried

at the end of last week's episode. But I should have you know that I'm feeling a lot better.

And for better or worse, I think that that has to do a ton with the hormones that I'm taking.

Also, I've been trying really, really hard and pushing myself really hard to look real good every day. So maybe that's

part of the reason why I feel kind of better today. But the thing about feeling better is that

when one thing picks up, and so in this instance, my mood starts to feel a bit better, what happens is other areas of your life start to feel like they're falling apart.

So here's the thing. I'm feeling a lot better following last week's episode of Monocycle when I spoke a bit candidly about what's going on in my life in regard specifically to IVF. And things seem to be on track and going really well. And my estrogen levels are still playing this evil trick on me,

but according to my doctor, my ovaries are looking real large. She asked if I'm experiencing it through my pants and I was like, thank you for acknowledging the fact that none of my pants

are zipping up on me. I found that really, really thoughtful. But the thing I realized as a result of feeling better about my

emotional mood is that when one thing seems to be going well, invariably what happens is

something on the other end of your life starts to feel like it's falling apart. So just last

week at the end of the week, one of my favorite employees who I adore as a person,

but also as an employee because she's so loyal and smart and strong, told me that she was leaving

because of an opportunity at a much bigger company.

And I'm really proud of her, and it feels really cool that she's going to another company

and has sort of graduated from Man Repeller after two and a half years of

working together. But in addition to all that we already have going on at Man Repeller, that is

hiring multiple new employees, moving into a new office, figuring out who we are, what we are,
