One episode for each of the 8 dimensions of well-being, and environmental being the one that ties everything all together. It was a learning experience throughout the process, no doubt, which I’m sure you can hear in the evolution of each episode, so I’m thankful for your patience and for sticking with me til the end. I do plan on continuing for a second season of in perspective, but I do not wish to set unrealistic expectations for myself or my audience. 2024 is a new era for me -- I am starting my full-time consulting career, ramping up my coaching business, and focusing on my relationships more. I will still be on the lookout for new opportunities and potential expert guests to interview, but I will let life do its thing and let the right opportunities come when they’re ready. I will continue to post on my Instagram so that I can keep in touch with this community and keep supporting you in your holistic growth journey, because you deserve to feel supported and appreciated. Thank you for following along in my journey with me, and I wish you all the best in 2024!
