    Welcome to Episode 53 of the Warrior Words podcast!

    We are a week into the new year - have you abandoned your resolutions yet? I've never been much for resolutions, but I do try to set goals.

    In this episode, I share my approach to looking back and looking forward.

    One of the things I look forward to is sharing 2025 with you - bringing stories of hope and lots of beauty to the podcast world.

    I hope this perspective is helpful.
