You're listening to The Lively Show, episode 23.

Welcome to the Lively Show.

I'm your host Jess Lively,

and this blogcast is designed to uplift, inspire,

and add a little extra intention to your everyday. Welcome to the show guys. This week, actually it was a little bit last week, we actually have hit our five month mark for the lively show.

We are just swimming along guys, we're over 100,000 downloads in now and it is growing

quickly so for all those people who have come on especially in the last week I've

seen a huge influx of new listeners. Thank you for being here and welcome to the show.

Feel free to go back into those archives and a lot of people are doing some marathons and that is awesome.

So before we get started today I wanted to share two fun

announcements before getting to the show. So number one is Jess lively.com and

the lively show.com just got some new photos or a little bit of a new look.

Before I leaving for Austin in a few weeks I wanted to get some photos down with my favorite photographer here, Daniel Peter of Daniel Peter.com.

He's a great photographer I've worked with for years.

So I wanted to get some pictures in of what I look like now before I go to a land where I'm sure I'll meet

photographers but don't know any right now so it's really nice to have another

photo for a long time it's just kind of been the lively show photo plastered

everywhere so if you want to go take those out, feel free. And number two is in this

whole going away process, readers have been reaching out and listeners asking me to have two things. One, a going

away party here in Chicago and two a little

meet up in Austin when I arrive. So I am planning to do so. I don't know the plans

for Austin yet. I got to get there first and then I'll figure it out I think it will be happening at the salty sow for anyone who is in Austin or excited to come and then in Chicago I'm looking at the dates of either the 21st of July or possibly the 28th.
