2015 turned out to be a great year… to break down. Being laid off for the first time was traumatizing and resulted in depression.

I turned to writing and podcasting, an old friend, for help. me, it’s not so much the actual podcast that’s the key, but the act of creating, talking, and learning that’s been the trick. Although many have explained how important it is to have an outlet for creativity and learning as we age because of how beneficial it can be for mental health.
