We're Back! Our Trip, Resetting Life, Staying Productive & Hopeful, Having Fun Despite it All

As some of you know, life got super real when my mom was diagnosed with cancer, and I didn't always know how to deal with it well. As a consequence, I dabbled with unhealthy coping mechanisms, and this channel took a back seat to all of my worries and angst over life, with depression, anxiety, and uncertainty giving me life paralysis and apathy over the things I care about most, including this here show. While Rebecca grew ever increasingly fed up and overwhelmed with her demanding customer service job.

As some of you know, mom's been in and out of the hospital, and we've had to take her to the ER multiple times. Just today we were told that the cancer has progressed to the point it's causing physical symptoms like low energy, loss of appetite, and more. It's easy in a crazy world, and especially with personal problems stacking up, to let everything suck away your fun and joy. But if we can pull out of it, so can anybody, including you!

This video (or audio) is all about the trip that helped us regain control and perspective, helping us to reset our resolve and strength in making sure that life always remains joyful and fun, despite having a full plate of problems and imperfections. Never let the perfect be the enemy of the good, meaning; life's messy! The world can feel overwhelming and downright dark, turbulent, and nuts! But, when we get adequate rest, and continually have a plan of attack for a better, more robust life, we can forge ahead, even surprising ourselves in achieving a life that feels more emotionally meaningful and gratifying.

Just a few short months ago I was dealing with my demons, but I (mostly) conquered them. No more insomnia, very little anxiety and depression, and no more drinking to deal with the insurmountable grief and anxiety; I feel pretty darn good! I just wanted to share that wisdom with you, my "out there" friends, so you too can find the life, the mindset, and the balance in life that may not be exactly what you wanted, but that's closer to living a decent life of substance and meaning. I've learned to truly be selfless and egoless, I went through so much change and hardship that I went through a kind of "ego death," and now have an even more profound desire to help people, to feel good and feel good enough, and to have the tools to better themselves and deal with all the craziness this life throws at you.

Sorry for all the absence and delays, but this channel is about to explode with new spontaneous and refreshingly honest and fun content! PLease help us help people by simply subscribing to The Snarky Empath YouTube channel, or become a patron on Patreon. I messed up, and lost my audience and joy due to darkness. I aim to earn your friendship and viewership back!
