Hi listeners this is Ashley Gad the founder of Coffee and Crumbs and today I'm

recording a podcast all by myself.

I've never done this before and it feels super awkward,

but we're making some changes to the podcast for next year

and this seems like the best place to tell you about it.

Before I get into this official state of the podcast address,

I want you to know how immensely grateful I am for the support you've shown us

over the course of four seasons. This podcast has grown

so much over the past few years and we largely have you to thank for that. You've told

your friends about us, you've shared our post on social media,

and you've also left us generous iTunes reviews, which help other moms find the show.

Basically, you are a big reason our show has grown,

and we are super thankful for that.

Five years ago, I had a really simple dream.

And that simple dream was to create an online place

where mothers could share honest and heartfelt stories

with one another.

Free from advice, free from click bait, free from catty and dramatic comments

sections.

If you're a mom with access to the internet, I know you know what I'm talking

about.

I wanted a pure beautiful place on the internet
