    Another season down, this time entirely in the pandemic. It was odd not to meet any of my guests in person, but it didn’t stop us from indulging in the simple questions that unveiled their lives. When I asked for previous guests to send their questions, I was surprised to see how curious they were about me, much in the same way I was about them. So, this is my repayment, a way of sharing a bit more about myself, whilst closing out this season and (hopefully) this pandemic.Robin Williams: Live on BroadwayThe Liminal PodcastThe Tao of Pooh--Music:“Crazy Eyes” by Verified Picasso“Contact High” by RKVC“Cocktails” by Underbelly & TY Mayer“The Missing 11th” by DJ Williams“Dyalla” by Benji“Fakelove” by Makaih Beats“Phife for Life” by Otis McDonald“Soul Searching” by Causmic“Sinfonia - Movement 1” by Lucas Cantor“Treat Yourself” by Dyalla“Only You” by beetpro--Icon in Show Art from Flaticon.com

    Kids are tough. At least, that’s what every parent I’ve interacted with has told me. Including my own. So, if a pandemic makes all kids stay home to learn, and in some of those cases, the kids aren’t quiet capable of learning, that must be doubly tough. My guest Danielle Sullivan tells me why homeschooling her kids is a challenge, not just for learning, but because of how personality traits differ in her household.https://neurodiverging.com/--Music: “Crazy Eyes” by Verified Picasso | “Fakelove” by Makaih Beats--Icon in Show Art from Flaticon.com

    Music is a language most of us speak. If we don’t create it, we listen to it, and it generates a specific feeling in us.
