OUR FINAL EPISODE!

As the sun sets on one chapter of our podcast, we welcome the dawn of another with open arms and reflective hearts. Today's episode is a tapestry of farewells and fresh starts, a celebration of Jace's and Kristelle's journey together and the anticipation of what lies ahead. We're raising a toast to the memories and milestones that have shaped our narrative, and as we turn the page, we invite you to join us in asking "how will I know I lived a good and successful life?"

It's an intimate look at the emotional fibers that bind us and the imprints we hope to leave behind. Jace and Kristelle don't shy away from the weighty topics of mortality and the echoes we wish to resonate through time; instead, we face them head-on with a blend of humor and sincerity that feels like a chat among friends.

We shed light on the nuanced textures of relationships and the power of shared experiences. As we close this session, we extend an invitation to you, our listeners, to ponder the narrative of your own life's journey. Join us as we share these personal reflections and welcome your participation in the ongoing conversation of Stories, Success & Stuff.
