But what about the part where you’re just… sitting in a garage at 2 a.m., surrounded by half-charged batteries, broken gear, and a growing sense that something inside you might be cracking?\n\nThis episode isn’t about triumph. It’s about that strange, quiet middle, the one nobody posts about, where you’re not broken, not healed… just angry. Angry at the industry. Angry at yourself. Angry at the space between who you are and who you thought you’d be by now.\n\nBut that anger? Maybe it’s not a problem to solve. Maybe it’s fuel.\n\nTopics Include:\nThe weird middle space between burnout and breakthrough\nHow anger can be creative fuel—if you let it\nWhy “healing” and “finding joy” aren’t the point\nThe choice to keep working, even when the work feels pointless\nDepression, resistance, and what it means to show up anyway\nOpening Song:\n\n“Demons” by The National\nUsed under license.
