Life has been full and before I knew it, a month had passed without a new podcast episode. In this short, honest update, I’m sharing where I’ve been, why this pause wasn’t intentional, and what this season has been teaching me about grace, growth, and honoring the work behind the scenes.

I also briefly touch on recording the audiobook for Embracing Your Different Ability® and tease a fun, deeper episode next week with a sneak peek and some behind-the-scenes bloopers.

If you’ve ever felt like time just slipped away while you were building something meaningful, this episode is for you.
