  • Summary

  • Sometimes, I stand at the intersection of history and personal narrative, feeling the weight of our collective past as it whispers to the present. In this episode, we're diving into the heart of post-war Austria, exploring the silent stories and untold legacies left in the wake of the nation's history with Nazism.

    As my partner is elsewhere, I stay behind in Vienna, balancing my roles as a partner, protector, and an individual wrestling with societal biases. This isn't just any episode; it's a revelation of the dichotomy between public confession and private sorrow, highlighted by our approaching tenth anniversary together.


    In This Episode:

    • The silent narratives of Austria's past and its relationship with Nazism.
    • An open conversation about the subtle racism and microaggressions experienced outside the familiarity of Vienna.
    • The delicate ethics of master-slave relationships, advocating for emotional health within these complex dynamics.
    • Reflections on coping with social anxiety and finding strength in community havens like The Crucible.


    So, make yourself comfortable; this episode is a journey. Whether you're working through your own struggles or seeking a moment of connection, we're in this together. Let's dive in.
