Hello friends! Chchchch-changes. I’m moving again. I’m heading back home. I’ll make some recordings on the road and maybe come up with a new name for this thing. My life is a strange thing and I probably wouldn’t have it any other way. I love the chance I got to come out and meet new people and explore new places. My life is richer for it, and though I have no idea what the future holds for me, I guess that’s actually just status quo so lean in to it and make the moments count. Okay enough with the sentimentality. Rocky was my guest this episode. We had coffee and a chat. We talked about fitness and coming out and body image stuff, oh it’s great.
