April 15, 2021 The last episode of Season 1
In this episode I reflect on what Season 1 of the podcast has given me and the gifts that each guest left me with. I also think back to why I started the podcast and what I had hoped to achieve, how I have grown and developed through doing it and how each of you out there have provided me with a small shining beacon of hope and connection in a time of dark and troubled seas. I also share with you my favourite story and I hope it provides you with solace and succour.
I want to take this opportunity to thank you all for being with me and I also want to ask you to be part of shaping Season Two by sharing guests who you think I should interview. Please leave messages via my website and also any comments about what the podcast has given you. Also please remember to link to our Instagram Page here. You may also be interested in reading my new blog all about 'Holding the Paradox' or indeed interested in my YouTube Channel.
I will be with you again the first week of June - until then stay curious, trusting and hopeful.
