Some episodes arrive exactly when they’re supposed to. Others take the scenic route.

This conversation was recorded before “My 13th Reason” and captures a different headspace, a different season, and a different version of where I was mentally at the time. From traveling to Mexico and attending Top Off 2026 to reflecting on life, growth, and everything in between, this episode is a snapshot of moments that existed before later chapters were written.

Looking back, it’s interesting how much context can change the way you hear a conversation.

The episode wasn’t meant to be lost.

But somehow, the title fits.
