It's our last episode of 2023! We reflect on our intentions for the year – abundance and tend – after remembering what they actually were. We share our "bests" of 2023 and what made us laugh, cry, curse, and think. Thank you so much for listening along this year and being part of the conversation. We are wishing you a peaceful end to 2023 and lots of good in 2024!
