Checking in for the season and giving some big life updates. Talking about taking a career break, about community, and the everyday that makes up most of your life. And some of the usual BS.  Cheers

#13 - SOLOOO 2 : I quit my job

We are joined by the one and only Valante, a successful music producer AND teacher AND a fan of the podcast since DAY 1 (insane) to talk about how his life, including all the struggles, has molded and inspired his art. We learn a lot about the creative process, life in Sweden, and the joy of existence.

My (Devam's) debut solo episode. Listen at your own discretion. I go through some of the questions y'all asked me like:

- What's it like being single?

- What is the biggest thing I'm working on?

- What is my chipotle order?

- What is the biggest societal change I wish to see in our lifetimes?

AND PLENTY MORE

hope you enjoy my rambling

Breakups || Part 2

Most of us have struggled with our body image at times, especially given how we're constantly bombarded with people to compare ourselves against. When we go to the gym to "fix" that, it often leaves us feeling even worse as we struggle to meet our own demands. In this round of the Pineapple Blunt Rotation, we're delighted to be joined by a guest for the first time: Garrett Garrido, a competitive powerlifter who has much wisdom to share from his own struggles developing a healthy relationship with the gym, his body, and himself.
