For two years, I worked at a gas station in Tempe, Arizona.It was my first real job.

I was 28.

This episode is about that strange chapter: the customers, the chaos, the shame, the friendships, the late nights, the weird little rituals, and how a place people usually look down on became one of the most meaningful places in my life.

Somehow, before I became a meditation teacher and later studies to serve as a clinical psychologist, I was learning about people under fluorescent lights.
