ISC Podcast, Ep: 0.5 - Neurological Gumbo Soup.
Hi, All!
It's been a while.
This is a between-topical-episodes-episode. Just a general catch up on where I am at/the state of affairs, but also some discussions around how I will be pivoting the ISC podcast to be a bit more broad content-wise, incorporating a larger range of topics. I also discuss perfectionism as it presents through procrastination, not a means commonly thought of in our culture but one that is pervasive with mental illness.
Thank you.
