Ohhhhh my gosssssssh. I’ve just launched the teaser of my new podcast, What If? to paint a clear picture of what’s to come as I interview people about their lives. It’s intentionally scripted because it’s my story — the one I’ve become expert at regurgitating, but one I possibly need to look at from a new perspective.

My parents were right when they said I should see a therapist. I needed to find a way of managing the pressure (mostly now put on myself) to achieve all that I wanted while being mentally and physically healthy. This podcast is a result of that self care. .

I’m going to give a big sappy thanks to @rachellew for helping me get this off the ground. .
We met the first day of college at 8:30am in French 380(?). You probably introduced yourself in botched French as having a bread & chocolate lover instead of being one. That was the moment I knew this education would be worth every penny.

I never had someone who would make me feel like I was worthy enough or that my dreams weren’t crazy. You’ve stood by me and rooted for me even in times when you were down in the dumps — probably a testament to the fact that we’ve always been in this together. You’ve never questioned whether I can do something, you just help me find a way, and you kindly, but candidly, whip me into shape when needed. And you always dare me to go beyond my comfort zone.

For anyone listening to the episode, you’ll know that I failed economics. I forgot to say, TWICE 😹😹 My tutor was useless, but it was Rachel who spent hours teaching me. It was also Rachel who helped me find one thing on my Econ 102 exam that I could contest to turn my final grade from Fail to Pass. .
That was an iconic moment. And a metaphor for the way everything has played out in my life. There’s always a way.
