Today is a wild 100th episode. Here’s what’s inside: I’m moving. My story on being ostracized. Launching a new program. First ever trivia. Randomly meeting another one of my fav artists. The heart behind Leadership and Yoga. A free trip to Hawaii because of my retreat episode. 3.7M views of Big Leaf and fan art. I sing my farm song for you. Screaming in the desert. My podcast mic collected dust in the box for a year before I opened it. And last but not least, being slapped on the stomach by a teacher at a retreat.

Today’s episode is entertaining, inspiring, and touching if you ask me. Thank YOU for being here. Much love.
