As your host, Arden Coutts, I'm taking a moment to reflect and possibly bid goodbye to the Fun with Friends podcast. After four years of podcasting, I find myself at a crossroads, weighing the joy of the past and the struggle of the present. It's been an incredible journey that started as a means to pull myself out of mental turmoil, eventually leading to starting my own business, meeting amazing people, and fostering a community of listeners. Yet lately, the inspiration has waned, and the once exciting activity feels more like a chore.

This isn't the end, though, as I invite you to join me on my new journey of writing and book publishing, which has recently been my primary focus. I'll keep you updated through my social media @ArdenCoutts, where you'll find everything from the mundane adulting struggles to the exciting news about my upcoming book, now available for pre-order. While I'm stepping away from the podcast, I'm not ruling out a return in the future with a fresh format, possibly including a co-host and fewer interviews. It's not a goodbye but a sweet see you later, as I share some final reflections, experiences, and even a few podcast recommendations. Let's go on this ride together, and as always, let's have some fun!
