It's a 2 parter today folks. I was going to release this yesterday and then the news broke about Ruth Bader Ginsburg, so I wanted to add my thoughts on that whole dilemma. In the first part of the episode I break down the SCOTUS question as well as RBG's legacy. In the second half I discuss deaths of despair, mental health, and living with these challenges.  Enjoy!
