Nothing like a good ol road trip podcast to get the blood flowing (don't tell my mom). I decided to take an hour of my drive to Vancouver to recap the latest couple weeks including my best friend buying his first house, the lukan emes memorial golf tournament and some things I've been struggling with personally.  I have said it over and over how much these solo podcasts help me to understand and articulate what I'm feeling even to myself. This time was no different, I could feel the weight lifting off my shoulders as I got certain things off my chest. Apologies if the audio is rough in the truck or if there is a bit of road noise not to mention being a little distracted and not having topics planned out! But I had a blast recording it and this might have to be a new road trip tradition!
