This episode is a bit of a switch up! Instead of having a conversation with someone else, Aliya takes the opportunity to share and dive into her current state of mind after taking a little trip away to restore and reflect on everything going on in life. We start the episode with a poem on change and how to find meaning in our lives, which is touched on throughout the episode. We also discuss the concept of leisure as inspired by Jack Hodges or @dowatfeelsgood. Aliya discusses her reflections on his art exhibition and how rest can be a part of the path to change in yourself. She also goes  through a short life planning session and some tips on how to get back to yourself and your dreams. Please leave us some feedback on how you feel about the style of this episode!
