Reflecting on my personal and professional journey, I emphasize the importance of courage, perseverance, and surrender in the face of change and the value of seeking guidance and support. I also shared my love for learning and announced the upcoming release of a visual and audio recording on my Substack.

I recently completed my doctoral program, a significant achievement, yet I feel uncertain about my next steps. Moving back in with my parents has been a mutually beneficial arrangement, allowing me to save money and plan my future while providing care for them.

I also discussed the history and future of our podcast and blog, which we launched in 2016 and the podcast in 2018, respectively, and shared a personal anecdote about the early days of the blog. Our initial launch felt like a new beginning, but over time, it evolved into something different. I highlighted the importance of releasing perfectionism and embracing the ongoing process of life. I shared our experiences with surrendering to the process and being present in the moment rather than worrying about the future. I also noted the value of seeking guidance and support, especially during times of transition.

I emphasized the importance of investing in oneself financially and in terms of personal growth. I realized that paid events and opportunities attract a more committed and engaged audience and encourage others to diversify their experiences and interactions. I stressed the need to contribute one's voice and ideas and to value the investments others have made in us. I urged everyone to assess their situation and make the most of the available resources and relationships. I acknowledged the limitations of relying on a single person or source for all answers and encouraged continuous learning and self-improvement.

I shared my love for learning and encouraged the audience to find their own interests and pursue them for the joy of it. I also announced the upcoming release of a visual and audio recording on my Substack, which is available on various podcast platforms. I emphasized my intention to release content on an intuitive schedule and invited the audience to sign up for the Substack, even if they weren't paid subscribers. I expressed gratitude for the audience's support and encouraged them to share the content.

As always, I thank you for joining me. Keep up with me by subscribing to the Substack (porshawilliamsgates.substack.com) and visiting the website (www.porshanality.com).
