We've Been On An Unexpected Break
March 20, 2025
Dear Listeners,
I wanted to share why there haven't been a number of podcast episodes recently. Unfortunately, I had an unexpected medial event in January and my health and recovery have been my focus as I find a new rhythm.
I am excited there will be new episodes published soon and I hope they will be worth the wait.
If you have an questions or comments, email us podcast@navigatingsolo.com.
Your Host, Ailene
