The following podcast is a dear media production.

Hello, welcome to, welcome back to Trinacare. If you're new here, my name is Ashley. I'm so happy to have you.

We are down to our last two episodes of the year, which is insane. And I kind of went back and forth on what I wanted to end the year with.

I originally was going to do like planning for 2025 or something about vision boards.

But I already did that last year.

And it's like, if people really want that, they can go back to the episode.

And also when I was thinking about that, I was just feeling really

uninspired. I feel like sometimes as creators, we get kind of stuck feeling like we have to perform

and do what we think people want us to do. And sometimes I feel like I have to educate and

give you the best advice and give you all of these tips. But like my podcast was built on just me

talking openly about what I was going through, what I was thinking, just my life. And it's not

like anyone's asking for me to educate you. I'm just saying like sometimes I feel that way.

And I am more drawn to just talking about my life and what's going on in my head and what I'm struggling

with. And luckily through that process, I can give you advice and give you my take on things.

But when I was planning for these episodes, I was like, okay, what can I do to like educate my

audience and give them the best tips for 2025 and I kind of went into

teacher mode and that just isn't fun for me like I don't want to be a teacher like I didn't sign up for

that and no one's asking for that that's just like me being in my head thinking that it has to be perfect

and it's like huge think piece and it doesn't have to be that way.

So I was like, okay, scratch that.

What do we actually want to do?

What can I do that's authentic that I actually want to talk about?
