Summary

I’m terrified of zombies. I’m extra mad that they’ve become trendy lately and I have to see their dead asses all over the place like it’s funny or something. Well, let me tell you: it’s not.

And then my life fell apart and for the first time ever in my life I said, “Fuck. This. Shit”. My life falling apart created an entry point for me to start something. All my fears were brought to the surface like one big giant zombie attack. Some of my worst fears had actually come true. And it was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. Because I was still standing (barely, but I was). Read the rest HERE Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
