Show Notes
In this episode of the podcast I have a chat about how hard it is to silence my brain all the time. I talk about the exhaustion that comes from having your brain on all the time and how it made the near bankruptcy even harder and the constant battle to get back on my feet just painful.
I discuss why this makes it really hard to be a parent as well right now and how I struggle with the idea of being a good parent. There is just always something going on to make it easy to doubt myself on this topic.
Finally, I talk about my ability to lose myself in the old game, Factorio. Especially being able to chuck it on the steam deck and disappear into the mundane that is that world and let my brain focus on something else rather than everything else it usually does at any given second of the day.
