Summary

In this week's episode of Monocycle, Leandra tackles vulnerability as she works through it herself.

Anyway, on a completely unrelated note, this week I really wanted to talk about something

0:50.1

that I've been going through for the past month, but overall I've been going through it for the past year and a half.

And that is IVF.

And then that turned into a whole lot of different doctor visits.
