The Road Less Traveled

Episode 72 - PF Changs

I've mentioned on multiple episodes that I work at a restaurant... Well, the secret is out apparently. I wanted to do this episode over a year ago when all these changes started trickling down from corporate but I was also trying to balance and maitain my anonymity with respect to the place that employs me. Please note that I overall have nothing against PF Changs/The Company as you will hopefully understand if you listen to the entire episode. The real problem was the previous CEO and whoever's brilliant idea it was to appoint him (I.E. the shareholders). They took a brand name that is recognized the world over and tried to squeeze every last penny from it with no regard to the people that actually run the restaurants. It's a shame. As always, thank you for listening and being respectful. -db

Episode 71 - Understanding

On this weeks episode I talk about Olympians, DUI's, the hero complex, and a need for patience and understanding that just doesn't seem to be there these days. As always, thank you for listening and being respectful. -db

Episode 70 - Music

This week's episode is dedicated to Music! (Yes, with a capital M.) It's funny, I think I only mention a couple random bands since the episode's conversation is mostly about how significant music was to me in jail/prison, its influence on me creatively and emotionally, etc. etc. so when I mention that I was having "a music day" I was listening to 70's/80's hits. The energy in songs from those decades is catchy. Music is like a snapshot of an era. Anyway, enjoy the episode and thanks as always for listening! -db

Episode 69 - Enneagram

I recorded this episode on Wednesday and then got sidetracked and forgot to upload it. I know, I'm operating at an average 4 or 5 for personality type 3's. Understand what I'm talking about? Don't feel bad if you don't, I barely do. This week's episode is dedicated to the Enneagram, otherwise known as the Riso Hudson personality test. There's way more to it than I had time to talk about in the episode, but at the end of the day it does help to know yourself better. As always, thank you for listening and being respectful. -db

Episode 68 - Mother's Day

Sorry that I've been absent the last couple weeks, been going through a touch of depression. Turns out Mother's Day isn't my favorite. Not an excuse though, just shedding light on my current state. Hanging in there though, so until next time, thank you for listening and being respectful. -db

Episode 67 - Granted

On this week's episode I talk about my experience going into Parole and Probation for the last time. Spoiler alert: I'm getting my honorable discharge granted.

Episode 66 - Soap Box (Special Hour Episode)

Tune in or tune out, this episode of The Road Less Traveled is an hour long of free form comedic discussion. After episode 65 I was feeling like I needed to recenter myself and get in my sarcastic form of therapy. Welcome to an hour of hopefully funny jokes mixed with life stories and venting. As always, thank you for listening and being respectful. -db

Episode 65 - Anxiety

Greetings! Anxious about the world? Scared of things you have no control over? Welcome to today's episode! I'm about three months away from my parole ending and rather than seeing the light at the end of the tunnel I'm starting to get more stressed, more anxious, and more fearful of what that looks like. On today's episode I try to analyze myself and why I think these stressors and fears are manifesting and how I'm trying to cope with the struggle inside. As always, thank you for listening and being respectful. -db
