When we say that a man is responsible for himself, we do not only mean that he is responsible for his own individuality, but that he is responsible for all men.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I happened to write this quote in my book, at the same time I recorded this week’s podcast. While we have responsibility for ourselves above all else, our actions inevitably impact the lives of others. Even those we may never know. This has been weighing heavy on my mind since I encountered sweet Joshua, the boy in the church parking lot I described in this week’s episode.
This week on the podcast
I met a boy named Joshua this week and he changed my life. I think he can change yours too.

Facing Codependence by Pia Melody
I have to admit, until this year I had never fully understood codependence. Actually, I didn’t understand it at all. The word codependence brought about images of needy people who couldn’t mange life without relying on others. (Or teenage girls who couldn’t go to the bathroom without their friends;) After realizing I am codependent, I have dug deeper into its true meaning. This isn’t entertaining but it is highly informative. If you have a struggling relationship, it is a must. Especially if that relationship is with yourself.
Daily Truths
Repairing inhumanity comes from all of us becoming more humane.
Substack App!
I am continually working to reduce my time spent online and on social media. I’m also actively reducing the number of emails I receive. The Substack app is helping greatly! Instead of having to check emails or sort through endless articles to find out what’s really going on in the world (or find people I trust) I use the Substack app to read stuff put out by my favorite writers and journalists. It is the perfect way to receive my articles as well.
Here is who I read:
This app has become the only place I need to visit to get everything I need to know, all in one place. Plus, if we want truth and valuable, uncensored content, we have to support those who are writing it! Each publication has both free and paid subscriptions.
Thank you for reading,
Evie
