## Resource

I've restarted this episode three times. I've made coffee I didn't drink. I've listened to approximately four true crime podcasts this week and I know more about cases in rural Ohio than I do about my own content plan. And I'm guessing you have a version of this too. Not about a podcast. About the move. The research you've been doing. The applications you've been sending. The thing you've been working toward that hasn't quite shown up back yet. This week I'm talking about the in-between. The hardest part that nobody names. The place where you've committed in your heart but the rest of your life hasn't caught up yet. Where the motivation has quietly left the building and you're going through the motions on a good day and not even that on a bad one. I don't have a tidy solution today. I'm still in it. But I've got something brewing that I think is going to help. Stay tuned. Also: send me your true crime podcast recommendations immediately. I'm almost out of episodes and it's urgent
