This is Me. All In.
Last November, I experienced a devastating friend breakup—a story I wasn't sure I'd ever share here. After finding solace in my favorite podcast, It's Going to Be OK, I opened up to their team.
I thought the story would stay there until I shared it with a Mayhem listener and she encouraged me to let the rest of you in on it.
Then, two other listeners stumbled upon it by happenstance since I’ve recommended the podcast to all of you, a few times. They recognized me in the story and shared how meaningful they found it.
They, too, thought it belonged here.
I knew though, that I couldn't share that episode if I didn't also share my own Mayhem story with you and that's what I am doing here with all of you today.
So here I am, sharing my Mayhem story and also:
'Already Enough and… A Bit Much.', It's Going to Be OK Podcast on Apple
'Already Enough and A Bit Much on Spotify
This episode features a poem titled 'A Bit Much' by Lyndsay Rush—a piece that grabbed my heart, helped me feel seen, and ultimately helped me accept myself a little bit more.
This is Me. All In.
