2022: A Year in Review

Another year comes to an end. I think in my seven years of podcasting the year 2022 is my favorite.

An incredible array of guests, often difficult subjects, vulnerability, heartfelt stories, sweet and warm moments, laughter and tears, virtual hugs and a solid, global and diverse community of listeners.

I will be forever changed by the many wonderful conversations.

Final episode of the year is out.

Besides announcing the Top 10 Most Downloaded Episodes, I also played some sweet and thoughtful voicemails from listeners, reflected on the year 2022 (I answered 22 powerful questions), shared the lowlights and highlights of my year, favorite things, and my intention for the new year.

I ended by urging the listener to give themselves the most valuable gift in 2023.
