Summary

In this solo episode, I share how I’ve been feeling depressed and lonely lately, why I just haven’t had the energy or motivation to socialize at this stage of my pregnancy, and the ways in which I’ve experienced loneliness in the past. I unpack my recent impulse to share my emotions with strangers, feeling jealous of my husband’s ease with socializing right now, and missing the “old” version of myself. Finally, I share how having my son attend summer camp has been going so far, how I haven’t quite processed that we’re having a second child yet, and what my vision board for business and life looks like right now.

Key Takeaway / Points:

0:00.0	The following podcast is a dear media production.
0:03.0	Hello, my people.
0:04.7	Today's episode is going to be kind of a ramble one, but really, well, there's something
0:09.7	I want to talk about, and then we're just going to kind of see where the fuck this takes us.
0:13.5	And if I am talking quickly, that's because I'm on a bit of a timeline.
0:19.0	Deadline.
0:19.9	Deadline is probably the correct term to pick up my son
0:23.7	from camp. So the thing I want to talk about is I had this realization the other day. And
0:31.5	obviously, you all know this if you've been actively consuming content of mine recently. I've been feeling

1:16.1	But like I have the data on my side that last time I did get to a place where I was the
1:21.5	happiest I've ever been.
1:22.5	And that was post having a child.
1:24.3	And I can get back to that place.
1:26.0	So reminding myself of all of that.
1:33.1	However, if you've been depressed, you know, like, no matter how much you remind yourself of these things and logistically, you're like, everything is fine. It doesn't change the fact
