Hello my friends on this episode of the Swallier Pride podcast we have Ashley

Michaelis and I will get to her bio in just a second but first I wanted to

thank you all for tuning into this podcast. We have just about hit 4 million downloads, which is totally totally crazy. It really hasn't even sunk in yet, but this is also our last episode for 2022.

So I'm hoping to do a big giveaway. We'll probably do a big giveaway over on Instagram in the New Year's, But I just wanted to first and foremost,

say thank you.

Thank you all of you who tune in each week,

who write in your suggestions for people to come on,

for people who volunteer to come on. This is purely driven all by you and I cannot thank you guys enough.

This was just a silly little idea that I started a few years back and I'm so grateful that it's so beneficial to all of you and that you find so much value out of it and that it's just helped so many patients and that's really the sole impetus that keeps me doing this.

So thank you, thank you again.

And as I said, this is our last episode for 2022.

We usually take the last few weeks of the year off to let our team enjoy some downtime with their holiday.

So I hope you'll take the time to catch up on some previous episodes if you haven't.

So excited for some episodes that we've got coming out of January in February. We've got an amazing lineup that we've just got scheduled, so I'm really excited. I hope all of you have a peaceful restful safe healthy happy holiday season whatever

holiday you celebrate and I can't wait to catch up with all of you in January so

thank you again I cannot thank you all enough for your support.

And I'll chat with you in the new year. So,

Ashley Michaelis began her undergraduate degree in voice performance in music education at case Western Reserve University and the Cleveland Institute of Music.

language pathology. She decided that she wanted to help others rehabilitate their own

voices and switched majors. She then completed her graduate degree at the

University of Wyoming.
