This episode is a jetlagged love letter to travel, comedy, nightlife, and grief. I break down my recent trip to Spain and Lisbon, where I realized—maybe I’m not built for travel?

This episode is a TWO FOR ONE. Part one, I recorded a few days after my show once I had time to catch my breath and reflect on the night and the months of planning. I've grown and matured significantly in the last couple of months, which is due to several factors, but planning this show put me in the best mental place I've been in in a very long time.
