Happy Birthday to ME! Earth Day 2021 officially marks the third year of The Enlighten Me Podcast. Woohoo! Man, these 3 years have flown by. More than anything, I’m so proud of all the episodes that I’ve put out (even the earlier, cringe-worthy ones!) and all the guests who have lent their time and their expertise to educate us all. In honor of all that time, effort, and energy spent over the past 3 years, I am bringing you a fun and celebratory episode with a dear friend and faithful podcast supporter - welcome Kathryn!

Kathryn is one of my very best friends and has been a huge support in making this podcast happen (especially when it comes to the technical side of things). She’s also a super fun person and I knew she’d be great at helping me to celebrate this milestone. Today on the show, we’re doing a little bit of role reversal. Kathryn is asking me the questions and we’re going more in depth on how the podcast got started, what you can expect to hear in the coming year, and a bit more about me, your host!

I’m so excited to celebrate this third birthday with the people who help to make this show happen. To all those of you who subscribe, leave ratings and reviews, use my affiliate links, encourage me and inspire my content - THANK YOU! I wouldn’t be doing this if it weren’t for you! Now listen in if you want to hear about the sunscreen-turned-foundation I’m loving this summer and why I think dessert hummus is the best invention of all-time… Here’s to another year of learning together and having fun doing it! Cheers!
