Hey there, my wise friends, and welcome to Episode 30 of The Collective Wisdom Podcast. I thought as we rounded up season three, I would take the time to look back and reflect and show my gratitude as it's an opportunity for me to thank those 29 incredible humans who have joined me as guests and have been so generous and trusted me with their beautiful stories. As with any creative project, it takes being vulnerable, and facing up to your own fears.

And understanding that you're never not going to feel that fear.

But the only thing that will help you get through it, is to take some action and make a start.

The recognition however, should really go to those wonderful guests who have shown the real courage here and trusted me with their stories and often told them as if there were just two of us in the room, when in fact there are many people whose hearts have been opened and spirits have been lifted by those stories. How do I know?

Well, because people have told me, I have just been so bowled over when people have reached out. So it's been a humbling experience to get up close and personal to the edge of my comfort zone and burst through to the other side.

And what I want to share with you today is just some of my favourite moments. I can't include all of them. I'm hoping some will be little clips that maybe perhaps didn't make it into the finished episode. Sometimes those conversations we have just before we hit record, or just after are absolutely priceless.

With grateful thanks to all my incredible, kind, smart, generous guests. This podcast wouldn’t be possible without you. Thank-you
