I'm back. It's 2024. I'm so excited to be here for my beloved state of the podcast episode. I hope you enjoy.

You're listening to Work and Play with Nancy Ray, episode 221.

Much of our lives can be divided into two categories, work and play.

Simply put, that's where our life and our legacy take place.

This is a podcast all about learning to work and play well,

which leads to a healthy soul and a fulfilling life.

Listen in.

I'm so excited.

The start of a new year, the first podcast episode of the year, it just feels good.

I'm getting back into the swing of things with getting these podcasts going and school with four little kiddos, two in school,

has been me doing all kinds of work behind the scenes on this podcast. Podcasting

is simple. I mean, you show up, you talk into a microphone. Seems pretty simple, right? And it is,

but the whole back end of the podcast itself and

streamlining it. And I've been doing it one way for four years. And I'm rethinking how I'm

doing things. And I'm asking, what is it supposed to look like right now in my life? So that's what

this episode is today. I'm going to talk about tech stuff. I'm going to talk about money stuff. I'm going to talk about my heart, heart stuff. I'm going to talk about tech stuff. I'm going to talk about money stuff.
