So it's like there is unraveling happening all over the place and I'm standing in the middle of the chaos trying to keep my composure while also accepting the mess that life often seems to be.And LASTLY, in spite of the internal and external chaos, I still feel little glimmers of hope sometimes - hope in what is yet to be. Hope that I have the power to change things I don't like. Hope that I can make a positive impact on the world. Hope that I'm going to do an OK job raising my son.

Explicit HeSaysSheSaysKC Brent Bowen Welcome to The Hump! Podcast ... your show about how to get one over in this thing called life. We're middle-agers more than meandering around the Midwest and beyond. Each episode we share in experiences about how to get one over on this thing called life. We chat with people from all backgrounds, whether they choose to leisurely walk the earth, shoot it from behind a camera or scramble for that next connecting flight. Count on plenty of talk about craft beer (or other beverages of one’s choice), the wonder of perpetual cargo-short living and that next SHINY thing we’re obsessing over .... Explicit
