September was chaotic, fun, and full of nonstop socializing, which basically means my battery is fried and I think I’ve officially aged out of extensive partying. (No worries, I’ll still make appearances… I’ll just complain about needing a nap after.)

But this week isn’t just about catching up — it’s my one-year podcast anniversary and my finale. Over the past year, this little project taught me how to get comfortable being vulnerable, to find strength in my emotions, and to rebuild confidence I thought I’d lost. Turns out, putting your messiest, most personal thoughts out into the world is a great way to stop caring about other people’s opinions.

While this isn’t exactly how I imagined things wrapping up, I’m proud I made it a full year after being scared to even start. I’m endlessly grateful to everyone who’s listened, laughed, and figured things out with me. So, hopefully this isn’t a goodbye forever and more like a “to be continued.”
