Episode notes
100 episodes… WOW! Thank you for listening and continuing to follow along. If you are loving the pod, be sure to leave us a review—we love to hear from you guys!
If you haven't listened to last week's episode, be sure to catch up on episode 99 where we dive into Sue's post-show protocols being 30 weeks post-show.
Today, we are talking specifically about what has helped post-show and how Sue is transitioning from continually having a show on the horizon to not having a show planned for the future. Listen in as Sue discusses how she is focusing on her mental health, recognizing what she wants from life, how she identifies herself as not just a competitor, and more.
As always, it is our goal not only to supply you, the listener, with valuable insights on the topics or questions but also to plant some seeds for further research and thought. Without further ado, let's get into today's episode.
