    Can a chronic complainer ever be content?

    Can a chronic complainer ever be content?

    There's a fine line between real suffering versus just getting stuck in a cycle of feeling sorry for yourself. The chronic complainer's suffering is real, but is it self-inflicted? Do they really want to change? And do some people benefit from expressing their pain and suffering?  There's no victim-blaming here. I'm just exploring a subject many of us might run into.

    The quirks that might make others judge us

    A "germaphobe" shares their challenge at a work function with food being the catalyst for an embarrassing moment that ended up in tears. When you have behaviors and nuances that others might judge you for, do you hide them from the world? Should you? That's a great topic to talk about.

Life changing & under-appreciated

Dear Paul,

Thank you so much for the amount of dedication you put into making this podcast and keeping it alive still. I found you not long ago when I was a freshman in university. Despite my young age, i have encountered many traumatizing events in my life that prompted me to find out the reasons and meanings behind my suffering. You have helped me gain insightful knowledge into my own mind and that of the people around me. You helped me understand how to better navigate life as a young adult. I’m forever grateful for your work and my discovery of this podcast. You have taught me more important lessons than my parents ever did. You deserve to be recognized more than you are now. Thanks again and keep doing the good work.
