"Stressed but Blessed"

This week on PAFO, the conversation starts loose and stays that way. The group gets into meds, allergies, barbecue, bad haircuts, and KG recovering from a brutal stomach bug before the episode turns toward heavier stuff. Chris talks about a hard week in the recovery community, the reality of loss, and why making space for families dealing with addiction and mental health actually matters.From there, it swerves the way PAFO always does: KG explains how an AI-generated Cardinals song he wrote ended up getting played at Ballpark Village, Jeff talks about the new PAFO website now being out in the world, and the crew gets into studio upgrade ideas, HomeGoods planning, dating-app nonsense, “no, LOL,” church music, DTF St. Louis, and whatever else they can get their hands on. It’s funny, scattered, personal, and very true to how this group actually talks.Big thanks to our sponsors:McKelvey Insurance GroupIf insurance has ever felt confusing or overwhelming, McKelvey Insurance Group keeps it simple.
