Episode 7: RBG, a Call to Action, and Therapy?

This one was originally just about being gentle with myself mentally and physically, talking about a moderately productive day off I had, missing Mom, the loneliness of bad health and the loneliness of the pandemic combining with the isolation grief desires, and how everything is really getting to me. And then Ruth Bader Ginsburg passed last night, and this episode became about all of these things AND what her passing has me feeling, and how I feel about things in the US of A.  I also reference Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her Instagram speech last night. I talk in depth about it, and I also encourage you to give her your undivided attention for 41 minutes and 12 seconds. You can find it on her Instagram @AOC, or you can use this link: https://www.instagram.com/tv/CFTXq9BHi2r/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link I talk about heavy topics and I swear a lot, consider this (and the Explicit tag!) your warning.  Oh and one last note: in several spots in this episode, I apologize for this one being longer than normal episodes. After I did some editing, it's pretty much the same length as the others. I didn't edit out any major talking points; I just say "um," "yeah," "uh," and "but" a lot and I seriously pause sooo much between words and sentences, so truly, all I got rid of was dead air and long pauses.
