“You can do anything, but you can’t do everything.”

I was reminded of this quote towards the end of last year and made the incredibly difficult decision to end this podcast.

Last year was a challenging year for me with lots of collisions between my personal life and entrepreneur life happening behind the scenes. This podcast was an important source of inspiration for me during that time and I honestly don’t know how I would have gotten through the year without it.

However, I’ve realized I need to lean into the flexible aspect of my own entrepreneur career and that unfortunately requires taking some things off my plate, including this podcast.

In this final episode I share more about the challenging year I faced in 2023, including secondary infertility and loss, and share some of the lessons I learned along the way thanks to this show.

I’m so grateful to all of my guests who have come on the show in the past year. As well as my listeners for tuning in and supporting the show. If you’re just listening to this podcast for the first time, I encourage you to go back and listen to previous episodes. There are a ton of great gems in each conversation.

Also, a huge thank you to my podcast editor Ineke Camille of Zourit Solutions. I credit her for helping me enter into the world of podcasting and for preserving my mental health along the way. This show wouldn’t have been possible without her!

I’ll continue to take on coaching clients as well so if you’re interested in working together please reach out via my website at http://melissaparks.com
