Description

This is the final episode of the 2017.

I don't know about you but I feel like the time is really flying by. It seems like it was just yesterday when I was recording the final episode of the 2016, which is by the way the least downloaded episode of the podcast:) In preparation for this episode I went back and listened to it. It's a really good one. In it I compiled all of my guests wisdom, their answers to "If you had to go back in time, knowing what you know about motherhood/fatherhood, what would you say to yourself as a new mom/dad?"question.

I'm sitting today in December and recording this message I feel like I am always behind 1 or 2 months behind of the calendar year.

Okay, looking back

What did the 2017 bring for me and how it was for the podcast?

Growth

I had many amazing guests. The podcast has grown. I have grown. The number of listeners have grown. And growth is a good thing.

I have changed the cover art for the podcast and I can't be happier. In fact, I have a mug with the logo right now on my table with my tea. Makes me happy everytime I look at it.

I have started working with my sound engineer, the editor who puts this show together and provides an amazing listening experience for you. Great sound is everything.

This year, I have connected with my listeners got to know you better.

We reached a big milestone in the podcasting world-100 episodes.

I have grown in many ways too. This podcast enriches my life in a very impactful way. So thank you for being part of this wonderful community.

What I have learned:

  • Vulnerability connects people.
  • Every human being deep inside wants to be feel loved, connected and when they open up and share vulnerability beautiful things happen.
  • What I have learned about myself. I have learned that I have a genuine interest in people and when you show genuine interest in a person they show up, they share more openly, vulnerably and authentically. I learned that I ask good questions. I listen and I have a genuine interest in any human being.
  • I learned to let go of perfection and accept what is.

People ask me if I have a favorite episode. That's a tough one because they are all special and meaningful. But if i had to choose it would be the 100th episode.

After every episode, I always feel like,"That was the best one".
