For context, this episode was recorded on November 20, 2022.
Maddy’s Note: “For the past three seasons of my podcast, the season finale has always had some sort of way of me reflecting back on things. This episode is no different, except that it’s part of my mini series. Reflecting back and looking to the future are pretty common things, but something that I think needs to be done more deeply. I talk in this episode about my Strength Finders, and one of them for me is “connectedness”. I’m a strong believer that all things connect and there is no such thing as coincidences. That’s why the chance to reflect on the past and think about how that could impact my future is an important thing for me to do, and the cool thing for me is that I get to do that on a public platform and take people along for the ride. I hope that future me is thankful for recording my thoughts in this way and that I can use it in a way to benefit others and myself.”
