[00:00:00] Welcome to the Wheel With It podcast with your host Devon. At Wheel With It, no matter who you are or where you come from, there's a place for you. On this show, we have real conversations with fascinating people. Let's get into the episode.
[00:00:16] Hey guys! Welcome to another episode of Wheel With It. I thought I would do a little episode today solo just to keep the feet active. It's only going to be like a few minutes because talking solo on a podcast is not my forte because I like conversations but
[00:00:38] I just wanted to give you a little life update as to what I've been up to. One, I just finished an internship at a shipyard and yeah that was a great experience.
[00:00:50] Great people. I missed the people but now I have a skill that I can work it if I want to do and ever get this preferred job. Let's go with that I can work it. It looks good.
[00:01:04] Secondly, part of the reason that we've taken a break from the pod is that I just started like my anxiety got in a little bit again so I've been going to therapy to work through that.
[00:01:20] I'm convinced I'm going to need therapy for the rest of my life because I'm out of there for two months because I'm so anxious. That may be a little bit of an exaggeration but that's not it. It's annoying but I'm working through some stuff in therapy again
[00:01:37] so hopefully this will be, I'm hoping that I don't need it consistently for the rest of my life but if I do then is that the worst thing in the world? Hopefully after we work through
[00:01:52] all the stuff that I'm working through in therapy now then oh I need to do that for myself anymore. But basically what I just needed like I'm into half-brake like I didn't have too much to do
[00:02:06] anything I just needed them to half-brake because my brain was getting overwhelmed and that happens to me sometimes yeah but I'm ready to get back into it now so I'm rich Secondly I'm considering going to bad school to become a
[00:02:26] therapist to get my social working license, clinical professional work license and become a therapy because therapy has had such an impact on my life. I would definitely take the right production opportunity if it opened up but
[00:02:42] I have to be able to pay for my own stuff and eat somehow. The conundrum is going to take the good and cheap. Neo basically or at least be able to make some of my stuff or do we just keep grinding this out
[00:02:56] until we get there because I can tell that we're almost there so it's fine but yeah this is so that's the conundrum I'm going through right now and I have to like get all the financial aid
[00:03:09] set up and stuff because I do not want my parents to have to pay for two degrees. They paid for my bachelor's I don't want them to have to pay for all my master's too
[00:03:18] so that's creepy if I did that I would probably start in like January maybe August but probably January I recently discovered this guy named Kurt Thompson he's absolutely brilliant we're going to have him on the podcast hopefully I will link his website in the description so you
[00:03:38] guys can go check it out this award-renowned psychiatrist and he has a lot of mental health stuff that'll help anybody he studies interpersonal neurobiology which is basically a big fancy word for what happens to our brain when we're with people and what happens to our brain
[00:03:57] when we're not with people and again he's absolutely brilliant I will link his stuff in the in the show now his website again he is a Christian but he's informational or anybody so
[00:04:11] you definitely don't have to be a Christian to entree him and he's super funny on his podcast being known podcast but all that'll be on his website which I'll link in the show now as
[00:04:21] I said that's about it I don't have any questions really so that's about it I just wanted to do and carry you guys to take care of your brain take care of your mental health get outside all
[00:04:34] that stuff we won't back soon I don't know exactly when but we will be back with interviews yeah that's about it I've been sending out interview requests left and right by everybody's
[00:04:46] on vacation now I would guess so none of them have been getting back to me but we will be back with interviews I promise and yeah I might do another one of these just to get into what's been
[00:04:59] going on at my therapy when I'm ready for it but I'm not ready for that today I just wanted to keep the feet active you guys can know that I haven't disappeared yeah I think that's
