Episode Details

The year is almost over and as we head into the holiday season I wanted to reminisce with some of my favorite snippets from the last year! Unlike in previous ‘best of’ shows, I’ve actually included some new snippets from my private podcast, to give you a little taste of the bonus content that I create for my patrons! The links in the show notes will take you to the full episodes, including all the relevant ‘further information’ links associated with them.

Happy holidays, everyone!!
