Remember how LL Cool J rapped "Don't call it a comeback?" It was because it wasn't really a comeback...because he was still there - he never actually left. And that's how it's been for me.

*Side Note: If you don't any any clue what I'm talking about, consider "Mama Said Knock You Out" required listening.

The last episode I published was about a year and a half ago...and I haven't been gone - I've just been living life, and let me tell you - LIFE has been LIFE-ING.

The last four years have sucked, and these last two? They reallllly sucked. But something I realized these last few weeks was that this podcast thing? Something I created to help others feel less alone? It's actually made ME feel less alone at a time when I probably needed it most.

This isn't a comeback episode, but it's a bit of an update, a "Thank You," and a "What's to Come" all rolled into one.

So sit back, press "Play," and maybe enjoy some raw cookie dough while you listen.

Did you love this episode? If so, I want to know! Send me a DM @itsactuallykristi on Instagram, or send me an email at Kristi@awakentheextraordinary.com.

If you reallllly loved the episode, please "Like It" or "Heart It" or whatever it is you need to do to show the podcast some love on whatever platform you're listening on. And if you leave a review, please let me know so I can personally thank you! (And I actually will!)

Oh - and one last thing! You can share whatever episode you're enjoying in your Stories too! If you do, be sure to tag @itsactuallykristi and I'll re-share!

OK....I think that's it! Thank you SO much for listening - I really DO appreciate it and I appreciate YOU!
