Near & Dear Audio Journal: February by Joe Rodriguez

The Theory of Visitors by Sam Lansky published on Medium. You can pick up his memoir The Gilded Razor on Amazon or wherever books are sold. I was inspired to do this partly because of the New York Times’s Modern Love podcast which I love, along with how much I really enjoy Sam’s writing and this piece really struck me emotionally in a way that had me thinking all day of how I interact with people, how I date, and I wanted to do something different with it. You can find Sam on Twitter @samlansky and you can find me all over the internet @jrodriguez713.

In this brief episode in celebration of Mothers Day, I talk with a young mother and send a love note to my own mother.

On this episode I talk about the different kinds of loves in our lives as well as how love and heartbreak change who we are.

In the last episode of the "Love Myself" mini series, I explore the last vital ingredients in the steps to hate myself a little less. I talk with a college friend about mental health, try to voluntarily exercise, and figure out a self care regimen that works for me.

On this episode, I tackle the big emotion of bravery. I try to figure out what works for me and split it up into three parts all while being incredibly emotional. Continue the conversation with me on Twitter or Instagram: @jrodriguez713 and tell me about how you overcome your own fears.
