What we talk about when life gets heavy isn’t theory — it’s the real stuff that happens in kitchens, waiting rooms, and the middle of the night when you’re exhausted, scared, and still trying to show up for the people you Love. This isn’t about frameworks. It’s about identity, Burnout, Caregiving, Grief, music, memory, and the strange, beautiful mess of being a person trying to hold it all together.

Full conversation with Adam is live now — one of the most honest episodes I’ve ever recorded.
