This book changed my life. I am learning and want to share this messy…

I have this weird thing I don't understand well. I feel guilty for being sick. My health took a dive the last 2 months. I pushed myself hard to keep working on my business and podcast.

I told my doctor everything...I am getting help. I am…

Some years ago my wrists started hurting when I typed on my computer. I ignored the pain like any other Macho man. That was stupid and after a few years of not taking this serious, the pain was horrible and 24/7.

Its ok to mess up Thank you AJ and Christian at the Borderline Idealist podcast…
