To make it short: got burned out and depressed that I had to take a break from everything I am doing just to recalibrate myself (I didn’t burn out from the podcast to be honest I enjoyed writing questions and recording, other elements in life affected me and took a toll on performing for the podcast)

I haven’t posted an episode in 1 month and my productivity dropped from publishing 1 episode every week/2 weeks to the first week of every month (this started from the beginning of the year)

I have guests on the line waiting for me to respond back to record an episode, my guest backlog got heavily delayed and a bit large to process easily

I was thinking of posting an episode where I would explain what is going on and all in full transparency, I don’t have that of a large audience so I can just head back silently and continue as normal or I can be transparent with everyone (the existing audience, guests, and anyone who might be curious about the delay) plus use this episode as a way to explain to the guests why I delayed on them

Should I proceed with recording the episode about my delay or just go back to talking with guests and continue things normally?
