The Bittersweet Past: Back to Reality

On last week’s archive episode, we talked about fantasy, and the benefits and pitfalls of focusing on and working toward your personal fantasies.

But somehow, no matter how hard we try, reality always seems to intrude upon fantasy. Is that always a bad thing? Our thoughts might surprise you. Listen in to this week’s episode from our archives where we discuss hard reality.

The Bittersweet Life podcast has been on the air for an impressive 11+ years! This August, we are taking a well-deserved rest, and in lieu of new episodes, we are airing episodes from our vast archives every monday! Season 13 (!!!) starts with all-new episodes Monday September 8th. See you then!

Anything you can contribute will be extremely helpful. Thank you.***
