    Episode 70: Get Out of the Funk

    Send a text Do you ever feel like you are stuck? In a funk? Maybe a bit distracted or sad or procrastinating or aimless? Perhaps you are bordering on being depressed or you are all the way into it. On our 70th episode, due to Dave feeling in a funk about his writing project (mostly), we chat about methods (some tried and proven, others not so much) to get out of the funk. Are you feeling stuck today? Take a listen. Looking for ideas for later, when eventually, as we all do, you get stuck? Try out episode 70. We're not doctors or therapists, but we have had high and lows and keep trying to figure our way out. We recorded this on Thursday, March 12, 2026.
