Episode 25: Hasn't This Gone on Long Enough?

By the time you check this one out, Paul will have put his foot down and said: “this has gone on long enough!” What has he let go too long? Well, dear podcast listeners, don’t fear! It’s not the podcast! And believe it or not - we're not just talking about the pandemic! No, in this episode, we discuss Paul’s decision to say “enough is enough” and get...well…a haircut. It might seem trivial, but a haircut can signify a lot more than good grooming habits. A pause in regular haircut practice became a way many of us began marking the passage of time during the pandemic. As the spread of the virus continues and the hope of a vaccine seems far off, we start to ask: “what does it look like to keep on living in the midst of this?” We shy away from longing for “a new normal” and instead think together about the signs that we’re gearing up for fall, even those it is likely to be the least typical fall semester we’ve had. This episode takes us on a journey where we think about ways we mark time, ways we use our appearance to help us ready ourselves for events in life, moments we think we can start fresh, and seemingly mundane things that bring us a great sense of satisfaction. Listen in and let us know - what in your life have you let go on long enough? Are you ready to put your foot down and say enough is enough?
