On the second day in April 2023, I got out my microphone, about to record a new episode for the podcast . I tried, but after my fourth attempt at trying to get words out of my mouth, I stopped. There was an unexplainable friction, and no, it wasn't a creative block; it just didn't feel right. After another week of trying, I announced that I would be taking an indefinite break from the podcast. My plan was to go on a quest for 'reconnection.' It didn't go as I had expected. 297 days later, and I have an answer. Let's talk about it.
