Ain't it funny how life changes... Goodbye For Now (00:34:46)
In today's episode I get really vulnerable... (shocker) but for real.
We talk a little bit about what I have been side stepping for quite some time now. The elephant(s) in the room, if you will. And why I have made the hard choice to put the podcast on a temporary hold.
Thank you for being a place that feels safe enough to talk about the really hard parts. I'm grateful for all the support i've received so far. I can't wait to come back swinging for Season 2 in Wonderland.
