That's a wrap for Season 1 of the WebCami Podcast. What season 2 holds is still up in the air—whether it brings change or continues as is, time will tell. Thank you to everyone whose blog posts I've enjoyed sharing; your insights have been invaluable, and I'll keep reading.

I regret not getting to feature many other talented voices in the WordPress community. The wealth of knowledge out there is incredible, and it's been an honor to highlight content that supports both new and seasoned web designers.

For now, my focus shifts to the HabitsWP.com newsletter, a project that I find rewarding and enriching. It's a practice of sharing good habits for web designers and actively engaging in and recommitting to them myself.

I'm also continuing to moderate WebCami Cafe, a Facebook group for web designers. It's a small but mighty community where support and connections thrive.

My hope with the podcast has always been to offer support and ideas to those starting or running their web design businesses. The content is designed to be evergreen and easy to listen to, whether while taking a leisurely walk or hitting the gym.

Thanks to all who've tuned in. I'll return in a few months after I take this break.

I want to give a special nod to my friend Bob Dunn for introducing me to the world of podcasting at WordCamp Portland 2017. I'm happy I'll see Bob for a Northwest reunion in September at WordCamp US.

Thank you, everyone, for supporting and participating in this adventure.
