Endings

In our culture, we love to talk about new beginnings. There's a lot of chatter around taking risks, taking a leap, going for it, embracing change. But what we don't talk about, enough, in my opinion, is endings. How we leave something helps define our path going forward. I've never been very good at endings. I'm kind of an Irish-goodbye type of person. I slip out the back door of a crowded party pretty often, which is no big deal. But in life's big moments-the end of a job, the end of a relationship, the end of a connnection to a community, we really need to examine and process the endings. If we don't, we are left in limbo despite our best efforts at blazing a new path. In this final show for the year, I am sharing with you my feelings on this topic. It's just me and the mic, no guests, no hot button questions. I'm really just spitballing my thoughts as we end another year and dip our toes into the future. I'm guilty of not processing my endings well. I'm working on this, I really am.  This will be my last episode of AGELESS for now as I work on recharging my batteries and figuring out where to invest my precious time and energy. After 80 shows as a solo, independent podcaster I need to re-invest in the journey I am on to find passion, purpose, and most of all, clarity going forward. Please continue to follow me and my work! I appreciate every single one of you who has listened to this podcast, all 12,000+ listeners.  Peace, AMANDA LAMB
