Have you ever found yourself stuck in some drama?Well, I have been in a loop getting in and out of it over the last couple weeks. So in this episode I dive deep into understanding drama, its origins, and its impact on our emotional well-being and longevity. I share how I got hooked on the TV series like 'Nobody Wants This,' examining how drama engages us and affects our mental state. As always you hear some updates from my journey as a German expat living in Los Angeles this time dealing with homesickness and putting down roots. I also discuss how communities and relationships can either support or hinder us when processing drama, and I encourage you to evaluate your self-identification and avoid building 'suffering allies'.
