    Today I mention Acceptance and Commitment therapy again. The quote I was thinking of was from the ineffable Audre Lorde: “Guilt is not a response to anger; it is a response to one's own actions or lack of action. If it leads to change then it can be useful, since it is then no longer guilt but the beginning of knowledge."

    A new beginning. Realised how mumbly I am. Today's song is this year by the mountain goats, you can only hear it in the episode if you're using the anchor app because of reasons. The apps I mention are Trello, Habitica and Todoist. Thank you for listening! Edit: This episode is pretty terrible as I scripted myself and recorded straight onto my phone, my deepest apologies,  Maybe start with episode 2!
