What’s up with Basil

May means it’s my birthday

This episode has me rambling about birthdays of the past and my upcoming birthday, but overall the general theme is May means it’s my birthday.

Forgiveness

This episode I talk about a lot of people who have hurt me in my past that I have forgiven. I also talk about how I hope that my listeners can find forgiveness for the people who have hurt them. I talk about how complex forgiving someone can be, and I trauma dump about a couple different times in my life that forgiveness has been hard.

Self doubt

Self doubt got the best of me last week and I wasn’t able to upload either of the two episodes that I recorded. I was recording Thursday night and the podcast came out Friday and I just did not feel good about the episodes that week. I feel a little bit better about my episode today, and I appreciate any listeners who wait for each episode.

Gratitude

Tw for the outro if you’re eating! My brain didn’t filter in time. Anyway, this episode I express gratitude and go off track many times. In the end I attempt to reel it in even mimicking the action for some reason.

Do I like my family?

It’s complicated, but I do love my family. This episode is a bit intense, and involves a lot of self reflection. As always I end the podcast hoping you find some nugget of wisdom. I also reflect on what I want for the podcast.
