The Journal Entry

Oct 20, 202400:09:57Tap to summarize

I wrote this episode in the middle of treatments, back in April 2023. At the time I wasn’t sure what this project would look like, but I knew I wanted to share my story in a way that was as real and honest as possible so others wouldn’t feel alone in their journeys. It’s been a tough one to reread and edit for the podcast, and I’ve chosen to keep it very raw.Music: Never Alone by Infraction
