Normal People being Productive
If you are in the U.S. and didn’t get anything done this week on Wednesday, then you are forgiven. Neither did we. We’re going to talk about expectations of ourselves and our stress levels, being kind to yourself, and understanding why you might not feel the reduction in stress you think you might. After that, we have a really fun talk with Terry Gant, owner of 3rd Coast Comics in Chicago.

Hi folks! This week we will be talking about spreading the load around. In one case, this is quite literally what Ursula did by spreading about 120 pounds of seeds on Dogskull Patch.

After that, we catch up with Raygan Earl, who we haven’t spoken to since the very first year. Hope you like it!
