Episode notes

Allie Ward's dad passed away in July from a cancer called multiple myeloma. "I think that the time I got to spend with him was really, really healing," she says. She shares some of her tips for staying on the cusp of sanity this year.

It’s a weird rambling bonus episode for the lonely week between the holidays and New Years! I thought I’d serve up a mellow hang full of secrets, a retrospective of the things that kept me relatively sane this past year, life hacks, science-backed ways to improve your mood, and a jaunty Q&A from Patrons. It’s not a normal episode, but just a little hello and check-in from your internet dad. Happy 2023, kiddos. Be good to yourself.
