Note: We've decided to take a pause on the topic of romantasy, but we may come back to it down the road :)

In this special episode, we are sharing our recent webinar with Daev Finn, an artist, psychotherapist, and Sheryl's loving husband.

After years working as a visual effects artist, Daev realized it was time for a change, and he made the transition to become a psychotherapist. Here, he reflects on the personal demons and dreams that pulled him from and to this path, the influence of art and myth on this work, and the process of unlearning much of what he was taught about what it means to be a man.

You can find out more about Daev's work at his website and contact him by email at daev.finn@icloud.com
