    Thank you for this great recommendation @chris leonard ! I immediately followed them! 😊My barista told me today that she studies two majors at the same time and her secret is to tell herself that she does not need to do everything perfectly. And that opened such a world to me. I can't wait to listen to the podcast!

    Woah. I just realized why I feel lost and disappointed towards the end of the weekend sometimes. It's a very "I haven't taken care of myself as best as I could" feeling. Definitely something I need to think about 😅
