Episode 599: Growing Pains

In this episode, I talk about literal growing pains: sore arms from the gym, stretching my comfort zone with a accidentally-launched Patreon, and an unexpectedly tender car conversation where my dad finally discovers my journals and books. I also unpack how it feels to crave pride and support in a family that doesn’t really “talk,” and why sharing my work with you feels safer than sharing it at home.
