Good evening, everybody. Welcome to the show. We got a great show plan for you. I say that every night, because I believe that every night. We work hard to bring these topics and themes to y'all, but before we get into anything, how's everyone doing? We're moving into a different season. How's everyone feeling about that? We talked on another show about seasonal affective disorder, so let's just take a

quick minute and check in on that before we drop into the meat of tonight's show, which I'm

super stoked about because it's a concept and a theme that, excuse me, I feel very, very,

I take very seriously because it's one of those cultural forms of misinformation that i think

does a lot of damage and it's this whole idea of self-esteem what is it how do we work on it you have to

love yourself before you can love other you know other people we're going to kind of break all that down

but back to um seasonal effective disorder if your mood starts to drop or change it might be because of the

oncoming season if you want to check out the past show that we did on it go to we

are channel q.com we are channel q.com scroll down there for love line and uh it kind of talks

about ways to prevent acknowledge and you know really kind of self-care get through.

But just the acknowledgement that that might be part of what's going on.

Look, again, there's a lot going on in the world.

So God bless that.

Politically, heart hurts on watching what's going on with some of these debates.

Oh, wild stuff.

Also watching, yeah, I don't even want to get into it, but if you're watching the news, there's a lot happening.

And again, we're still in a pandemic.

I don't even want to get into that one either.

So we're taking care of ourselves, but the, you know, darker, cooler weather for a lot of people,

is going to lead to some lower levels of energy, some mood shifts and changes.

You know, we're not as able to access the outdoors.

It's snowing in some places and it's cold.
