Hello. I have some exciting news to share with you that's been in the works for some time. For those of you who've been with me on this journey, you know I've often talked about taking action rather than waiting for that perfect moment. Well, I am taking my own advice and I'm thrilled to announce the launch of my YouTube channel. Oh, hello midlife. This channel brings together so many aspects of our midlife experience. So there you'll find your favorite mindful life changes podcast episodes ready to stream. That's just the beginning. The channel will also feature videos where I talk candidly about the transitions and challenges we face in the season of life, like being in the sandwich generation, which is actually the first episode that I launched That feeling of being pulled in multiple directions as we care for our kids and our aging parents. You'll also find on this channel a special playlist of beautifully animated affirmation videos from some of your favorite episodes. These animations transform the affirmations. We practice together into a visual experience designed to deepen your practice and bring a sense of peace to your day. I've always had this vision of turning these affirmation episodes into animated videos, and the day has finally arrived, and I cannot wait for you to watch them. And lastly, what I'm excited about is this opportunity to do a vlog about my personal experience living. With my mom part-time at age 46, while also caring for my dad and an assisted living home.
