WELCOME TO SEASON 2. Enjoy the very special musical ensemble at the beginning of this episode. Just for you, Olejuru busts a rhyme and Paula keeps the beat as they share the essence of this month's series in a very... creative way.

To introduce this new podcast season and their new seasons of life, Paula and Olejuru take time to check in with each other. They talk about getting used to new routines, admitting that, in the midst of change and busyness, the work “grind” can actually be quite lonely. Why is it possible that we are surrounded by people and support and yet still feel isolated? How do we define and find balance in the midst of a life that feels too full? Is self-care selfish?

If these thoughts or questions are familiar to you, you're in the right place. This episode will definitely worth your time.

Rise and Grind Let’s Talk About It Podders. It's season 2 and we’re in for a whole new adventure!
