Hey guys, it's Gil here. I was just editing today's episode of Shameor and I thought that it would be a good

idea to offer our main feed listeners. A little teaser of this episode because honestly,

I was really struck by the vulnerability and candid nature of this conversation between

Miss Shanzara and I learned a lot from it.

This episode dropped on the Shamemore feed today, so it's live right now.

If you want to listen to the full thing and our amazing back catalog of Shamemore bonus episodes,

they're all at free, by the way. You can subscribe to

Shamore on Spotify or Apple and I'll pop links in the show notes for you. Enjoy your teaser.

I remember in 2022 sitting around my mum's dining table with my family. And I remember saying we

were all going around saying, what's your favorite year of your

life so far? What's your favorite age? I think was the way we positioned it. And I made a comment at the

table being like, but every year is my favorite year. Yeah. I remember you saying it. And

2022 was the year you got married. And I remember you saying that around that time. Yeah. And I was like,

isn't it just how life works that every year you have a year and you look back and you go, that was the best one yet? And then quite

depressingly, I think I've realized ever since I said that, no, the last few years of my life have

not been as good as that year. Yeah. And so it was like I just hadn't encountered maybe real

struggle up until that point. And then I did encounter real

struggles in various ways. And now I'm like, oh, things were so simple in 2022. Yeah, it's that classic

case of you get older. And this will sound so foolish to anyone older than us listening. But I think

at a similar time for us, you realize the world treats you like an adult because you are one and you are no longer immune from pain that maybe you were protected from growing up.

And stuff starts to hit you and starts to hit your friends.

And it's quite sobering.
