Lockdown has really started to take a toll on me mentally lately. The lack of inspiration by being stuck indoors is a perfect way to destroy motivation. I almost didn't record an episode this week, but instead I decided to record an episode about that exact feeling. It's okay to feel not great. It's okay to feel aimless and lost in life. This episode is a reminder that we're all in this same game together. Thanks for hanging out and listening, I genuinely appreciate the connection.
