Summary

Back in 2024, we dug deep into the life of Maria Theresa and during that time we kept finding one guy who she was at odds with every step of the way. Frederick the Great. We expected him to be a horrible guy when we started this Patreon 2023 episode. But instead we found a really nuanced, gay, dog loving guy...who also totally loved war.

0:00.0	You're listening to an Airwave Media podcast.
0:04.3	Okay, I'm going to be honest.
0:06.3	There was a point just a couple of months ago where I really needed therapy,
0:11.1	like major life stuff hitting from all sides.
0:14.8	I was ready to do the work, but every therapist I called either wasn't taking new clients
0:19.8	or didn't take my insurance.
0:22.0	And I felt so totally stuck.
0:25.1	Oh, yeah, I've been there.
0:27.3	I remember making this spreadsheet of therapists like a whole chart and still couldn't find someone that was affordable and available.
