In this episode, I begin sharing a project I've been working on for the past few months. Hear my thoughts about the social decade and how my inner visual artist has been playing with it.

Today I'll be talking about my journey with my body, how that was impacted by living in San Francisco and where I am today.

Big trigger warning: I'll talking about weight, body image, eating, and all of that.

This episode was inspired by Jennette McCurdy -- "I'm Glad My Mom Died"

Have you ever struggled to feel like you belong? Most everyone does, but it's worth examining the moments we get, and most of us do have these moments when you feel like you've arrived.

When does a decade arrive?
