1. Hey friend!

   This week, I'm coming to you from a cozy Airbnb in La Crosse, Wisconsin, with my friend and social media manager, Karen Wolf. We're planning some exciting future content and I'm diving into a question many seasoned podcasters face: Is it time to end my podcast?

   If you've been feeling overwhelmed or unsure about your podcast's direction, this episode is for you. We'll chat about whether it's time to wrap things up, take a break, or pivot in a new direction. From dealing with burnout to ignoring those "vanity metrics" like downloads, we're keeping it real and offering encouragement. Podcasting should be joyful, not draining—so if you're feeling stuck, let's reassess and refocus.
