In this solo episode, I'm sitting down with you to share some big news. My family and I are moving back to Chicago after a year and three months of living in México. I talk about how this season has taught me to move through uncertainty, and I share two mindset shifts that are helping me through the change. I also share the lesson my three- and five-year-old boys taught me about resilience. And after five years, seven seasons, and 25,000 downloads, I'm officially saying goodbye to the podcast, for now. Gracias for being part of this journey!
