I Think We Should Talk Presents: The Comeback Kid...Almost
Hi! 👋Welcome to the I Think We Should Talk Podcast where we talk about how life in your 20's makes absolutely no sense! HA! ... But really though, I'm bringing you guys another long awaited episode where we talk about what it means to make a comeback-- mentally, physically, spiritually, etc. At this point I feel like the sum of this podcast is about how to pick yourself back up after falling, but also how to pick yourself back up after periods of doubting yourself, figuring shit out, and just overall trying to be better and feel better.I hope you guys like this episode! Call me, beep me-- if you wanna reach me! ;) Come say hi!

I Think We Should Talk Presents... What the F$*k?
So yeah. A lot's happened. I'm not okay. I'm not happy about a lot of things. I'm sad. I'm angry. I'm confused. I am all the emotions-- all at once. Frustrated doesn't even begin to cover it. And oh yeah, I'm back by the way, cause I can't take sitting back anymore not saying anything. Not voicing my opinion. If I can help it, I have to help take a stand and bring about some conversation, and a voice of reason into all this because the world is a wild, scary, crazy place. That said, I know things aren't all bad all the time, and I genuinely was going through it when I recorded this episode. Be advised though... definitely NSFW. I hope you're angry enough like me to help enact change.
