Happy Sixth Birthday

Happy Sixth Birthday

Over the past six years of hosting *Other People’s Shoes*, I’ve learned so much about persistence, community, and the power of storytelling. Reaching over 300 episodes has been a journey of growth, both personally and professionally. I’ve been inspired by the incredible people who have supported me—from family and friends to mentors and listeners who believe in this vision. This experience has reinforced the importance of steady progress, much like the tortoise in the fable. The stories shared on this podcast have touched my heart and fueled my determination to keep moving forward. Join me in celebrating this milestone, and stay tuned for an exciting surprise announcement at the end! Join me as I try on six years of podcasting.

Welcome to a very special episode of Other People’s Shoes!
