Our Farewells to Rebecca

In retrospect, my previous tribute to Rebecca may not have struck the chord of raw truth that it intended to. Authenticity matters, especially in the realm of friendships and collaborations that, despite our best efforts, sometimes run their course. I want to take a moment to acknowledge Rebecca's invaluable contributions to the "These Fukken Feelings Podcast". Her presence added a unique dimension to the show, and I believe the experience was mutually beneficial, offering a chance for growth and perhaps a measure of healing.

However, the reality of any creative endeavor is that it comes with its share of struggles, often hidden away from the audience's view. Creative differences and personal disagreements were recurrent themes behind the scenes, and these ultimately led to my decision that it was time for us to part ways.

I want to make it clear that this is not about speaking ill of Rebecca. She is unquestionably talented and brought a lot to the table. But the truth is, clashes were frequent, and sometimes the harmony we sought was elusive. It's one of the hard truths about collaborative work – not all partnerships last forever, and that's okay.

Even so, it's crucial to honor the positive impact Rebecca had on the show. We didn't always agree, but the exchange of ideas and perspectives was a valuable part of our journey. As she moves forward, I genuinely wish Rebecca the utmost success. There's a part of me that's excited at the thought of her channeling her talents into a new venture, perhaps even her own podcast.

Life has a way of bringing people together for a season, for reasons we don't always understand at the time. Rebecca's time on the show was meaningful, and now, as we both move on, I hope she finds new avenues to explore her passion and drive.

The intention behind the original tribute was to leave out the tension, to focus solely on the positive. But Rebecca values honesty over a polished narrative, and so do I. This is the earnest truth: we shared a journey, we've learned, we've grown, and now we turn the page. To Rebecca, wherever life takes you next, I wish you nothing but the very best.
