A Special Announcement:
This will be the last regular episode of the Tiny House Lifestyle Podcast. After more than 300 episodes, I'm evolving my focus to help businesses grow through email marketing and podcasting, taking the skills and expertise I've developed here to serve others in new ways. While I may return with occasional episodes, the costs and time required for regular production no longer align with my current direction. I want to thank all of you who've been a part of this journey. Your support and encouragement have meant the world to me.
