🦃 Last Week: Full Hearts, Full Plates, and Unforgettable Friendsgiving 🥧
Last week wasn’t just about food; it was the reset my heart and soul desperately needed. Thanksgiving was wonderful, but Friendsgiving was the true highlight. Surrounded by amazing friends, we enjoyed incredible meals, shared endless laughter, and had conversations that felt like a warm hug for the soul.
On Friday, we joined friends for a delicious brunch, and I laughed harder than I have in over a month. 💖 Even better, my wife and friends both noticed a positive difference in me. While depression is still part of my life, I’m celebrating small victories—like no panic attacks last week. 🙌
A massive shoutout to Dirty Skittles, my co-host, my rock, and the one who just gets me. Without her, this podcast wouldn’t exist. Her friendship keeps me grounded and inspired every day.
And here’s some BIG NEWS: Our podcast, which is less than two years old, is just 50,000 downloads away from hitting 1 million! 🤩 Based on your incredible engagement, we’re on track to reach this milestone in about 2 ½ weeks.

Here’s to more laughter, connection, and shared milestones ahead! ❤️
