Friends,
I don’t usually do episodes lie this, but the only thing on my mind right now is love and heartache.
I just wanted to talk with a friend.
So here’s me and my dear friend Duncan Trussell, creator of the Netflix animated series, The Midnight Gospel, and the podcast The Duncan Trussell Family Hour, to talk about it all
This is a personal episode, so I’m a little hesitant to share, but here you are.
Thank you for listening with care and gentle hearts.
Love.

This episode was just what I needed. I have been listening since you had on Rabih Alameddine. I am dealing with heartbreak. My relationship of 5 years ended in late January, but I did not start processing the loss until I moved out of my ex’s apartment in April. In my case, I have had to come to terms with the fact that the relationship is truly over, which has been a struggle because it was such a big part of my life and it defined my identity. It began when I was 19 and ended at 24. I have known this person since I was 14. I had become a welcomed part of their family. Now, even our friendship has dissolved, I believe as a casualty of us trying to move on from one another, emotionally. I am working through the kind of grief I tend to feel when someone dies. I have talked to friends and family and sought therapy and the advice I am getting is all self help bullshit like to light candles and listen to my favorite songs. No one seems to understand.
