#130 is a 30-minute solo episode.

A quick life update followed by some questions that I asked ChatGPT to come up with to help me reflect on where I am and get some clarity on my next steps.

If it provides just a little comfort and support to someone who's in a similar position, then I'll be glad a took the time to record it and feel a little better about my slightly self-indulgent, cringe-worthy ramblings.

Enjoy!
