Almost didn’t get this solo episode recorded. Been a rough week. But think I might get some relief after seeing a doctor here in Gdańsk. In this ep, I talk about a recent sauna experience—who I met there and why the interaction impacted me. One of them was a 19-year old from Ukraine. So I asked if she had any friends who’d been killed in the war. And what she told me is something I’ll always remember. War is hell.
