Not enough time in the day

A podcast I enjoy with a catchy name…

Among the large library of podcast is one called Over Tired. Christina Warren and Brett Terpstra talk tech, mental health, music, movies and TV on a weekly basis.

Sadly, I do not watch watch much TV or many movies on any regular frequency, I love the discussions they have. Seems every episode I come away with another TV show I want to start watching. But, that will take away time from listening to all the podcasts I enjoy. I can relate to the tech and mental health conversations. I have worked in software development for over 20 years and currently work in infrastructure support for my companies cyber security applications. Many of the podcasts in my library are technology and software development related.

Even though I can only related to a few of the mental health topics they discuss, as I take meds for anxiety. I do learn and collect takeaways from them. It both helps me take better care of my mental health and be more considerate of others. Listening to others discuss what they struggle with and how they manage and learn from theirs, helps me as well.

Christina and Brett work in careers in the software development field, more-so as developer advocates than what I have done in the past. When they talk about various tools, languages and frameworks, I find myself researching them online and in some case installing the tool to see if it fits into my routine.

In recent episodes, they have started having guests to the show. Mixing up the conversations a little while staying in line with the core topics I love listening to the podcast for.

If you enjoy or can relate to any of the above, I strongly recommend checking the podcast out.
