Hello and welcome to episode 200 of the Mindful Kind podcast. This feels so surreal when I was

recording the very first episode four years ago. Never did I imagine that I'd still be creating a new episode every

grateful for Deck's work not just on the new introduction but for all his support with every single

episode. Because the editing process for each episode can be

a little time consuming, DEC took over that role to save me time so I could work on other

projects and it's a huge help for me every week. Not to mention the beautiful designs he creates
