0:00.0	You're going to go. Hi everyone welcome back to about on paper podcast I'm Becca Freeman and I'm Olivia Mentor and it is one of our last two
0:25.9	episodes of the year and as we have done I think most recent years we are here to talk about the best of the year all of our
0:37.6	best excluding the books which is next week because that needs a full episode.
0:42.1	I feel like this is the precursor for the
0:45.5	goals episode for 2024 which I'm also thinking about because we're recording it in a
0:49.2	few weeks so I just love this I love these little moments of reflection. I know we get to talk about the good stuff and then we get to figure out what we want to do with our next year.

2:00.0	Oh, I literally cannot imagine it. So it makes me happy just to see you do it so I can't imagine what it feels like to be in your shoes but yeah fingers crossed one day.
2:10.0	Well what's your high? My high is just that I have had a really great last couple of weeks.
2:16.6	I don't know, I had a meeting right before Thanksgiving
2:18.8	about sort of the next steps for such about influence for my book coming out in June. So hopefully like
