Speaker 0 (00:00):
Hi, I'm Lacey Wolfe, coordinator for Statewide
Well-Being Initiatives at ERSand host of the ERS Walk Talk
podcast.
As we close out 2024, I ammaking an exciting announcement
about what's to come in the newyear Starting in January.
We are changing our name of thepodcast to the Buena Vida
podcast because we want tosupport you in living a good

(00:21):
life.
The ERS Walk Talk podcast wasborn during the COVID-19
pandemic and officially launchedin April of 2021.
And at that time I found my joyin walking and having
meaningful phone conversationswith researchers and
inspirational people and doctorsand leaders, and in those early
episodes I think we reallycaptured the spirit of

(00:42):
connection.
Unfortunately, our soundquality was not great, so over
time we transitioned to a moretraditional recording format to
improve that quality for all ofyou, and as the podcast evolved,
the name no longer fits.
That's why I'm thrilled toannounce the Buena Vida podcast
named after our brand newwell-being program.
