No solutions. Just honesty, perspective and a reminder that feeling stretched doesn’t mean you’re failing.If you’ve ever thought, “I can’t keep going like this,” this one’s for you.This podcast was recorded on the lands of the Wangal people, of the Eora Nation. I pay my respects to Elders past and present.EPISODE CREDITS:Host: Rachel CorbettEditing Assistance: LINKS & OTHER IMPORTANT STUFF:Click here to submit a question to the showWant to start your own podcast?
