The year 2024 feels like an absolute whirlwind. Where did the time go?

Today’s episode was inspired by one of my podcast producers, Alison, who told me she loves episodes this time of year that take you behind the scenes, which feels good to me; I want to catch you up on what’s been going on.

As you may know, I’ve been struggling with health issues this year, so much of what you’ve been listening to was pre-recorded. But finally, in early November, I got diagnosed with a trio of chronic illnesses: Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, and Dysautonomia.

I had hoped to get more done in 2024, but getting closure on some long-standing issues has been a very good thing. And, even though I didn’t have capacity to work on the podcast very much, it has grown, with listeners from 138 countries and almost 4,000 cities. 

There’s much in store for 2025, but I need your help. Please take my two-minute survey. Do you like solo episodes? Interviews? Grouped topics? Let me know so I can provide the content you crave. I hope the end of your year is filled with ease. See you in 2025.

In this episode you’ll hear about:

• What this last year has looked like: being ill and finally getting diagnoses; moving; wonderful friendship moments
• My goals 2025: health stability, more investment in my community, and more connection to listeners via social media/internet
• Things to get out into the world in 2025: Freebies! Printed guides! Audio guides! And also, the book I keep talking about!
• Stats about the podcast (which has grown without any traditional marketing techniques!) and what I’d like to focus on in the coming year
