• episode 56: 1000 days of sobriety
    2022/09/05
    I've been thinking about this episode for a while, and since it's coming up soon, I decided some reflection is good after a few years.   Today is my thousandth day of sobriety. Does that mean that I wrote and recorded this episode in advance? Yes. Yes, it does.

  • episode 55: balancing wants & needs to avoid burnout
    2022/07/29
    well, here we are. nearly 5 months on the road, and this season, it feels different.   last year, i was blissfully unaware of how much money i was spending without replenishing for around the first 4 months. then the last 2 months became so stressful that i couldn't wait to get home.   this season, i left about 2 months earlier, and by month 3, i was already feeling that paycheck-to-paycheck dread that had me moving money out of my investments and racking up credit card debt to try to get out of.

    2021/09/26
    so it's been a while since i've been motivated to put something together for you all.    i've spent most of my free time trying to build my business and teaching myself something new almost every day.   it's caused a bit of burnout from time to time, so i have to remember to put the work away and give myself a break.

  • episode 52: running on fumes (and other car analogies)
    2021/04/20

    so i'm not gonna lie, craig - i'm past the point of empty right now. 

    i'm exhausted mentally. 

    every day, 7 days a week from before sun up to past sunset, i am at my computer working.

    there are so many gears going at once, and i have to constantly switch them up that i feel like i'm not being efficient with my time.

    even right now, as i record this, and probably even while i'm listening to it back in editing, i'll be thinking, "there are other things that i need to be doing right now."

    but the truth is, i'm realizing that this little project that you're listening to has always been more about putting my intentions out into the world and using that to hold myself accountable.

  • episode 51: i laid myself off
    2021/02/05

    happy february everybody. i did the thing i said i was gonna do. i fired myself.

    i'll be honest, this is the only time i've ever left a job without having "another job" lined up.  not to say i don't have big plans, but this is the only time i've ever planned to not get a traditional job again.

    but blue, have you lost your damn mind? is this some kind of mid life crisis where you desperately cling to delusions of no responsibilities no working make hippie amanda something something?

    yes! and no! i don't know yet!
