It is with a heavy heart and some sadness that we must announce the conclusion of our wonderful journey together on The Living Inspired Podcast. Since the start of 2023, we've shared remarkable moments, heartfelt stories, and profound insights that have been life changing for us.
However, as life continues to evolve, our busy schedules as wives, moms and commitments have led us to the difficult decision to stop producing new episodes of the Living Inspired Podcast. While this chapter may be coming to a close, the impact and memories we've created will forever remain with us.
In these last five episodes, we aim to honor the essence of what made this podcast so special: celebrating the triumphs of others, raising awareness about diverse topics, and inspiring each other to make a positive difference in the world.
Our final topics will include highlighting Kristen Peterson, the driving force behind the Celandine Life Preparatory Academy, exploring the challenges of Verbal Dyspraxia awareness with Mikey's Wish, gleaning from Jackie Yearby of ABG Works/Angels Bridging Gaps, celebrating the unconditional love of a Kate Swenson, mother, author, and blogger of Finding Cooper’s Voice, and chatting with podcasting coach, Sam, from Sam & Gina, Autism Rocks and Rolls Corporation.
We want to express our sincerest gratitude for your support, engaging discussions, and heartwarming feedback throughout this incredible journey. Your loyalty has been the driving force that kept us motivated during every step of this adventure.
Special thanks go out to our friends and family, especially our husbands who have supported us on this journey.  Thanks to you both for allowing the time and space for us to embark on this venture. Though the Living Inspired Podcast may be coming to a close, we are hopeful that our paths will cross again in the future. Until then, let's carry the lessons, connections, and inspiration we've gained from each other and continue living our lives to the fullest.
With profound gratitude and love,
Cameron Munoz and Chanel Johnson
