Hi all and welcome back to the podcast! In this weeks episode I dive into a topic that has come up a few times: is independence a strength or a weakness? In the past, I wore my independence like a badge, but only recently have I realised that being super strong and independent isn't necessarily always a positive thing. And there is definitely a cost to it... Also, I'm sad to announce that I will be taking a break from the podcast. I've always said that I wold continue making episodes as long as it brings me joy and inspired others, and recently I have felt less-inspired to create episode. After moving out of home and closer to extended family, I've consciously chosen to rest and take a break each day, and I felt that the podcast limited by ability to do that. So, for the time being GLC will cease to release weekly episodes, but I'm sure it'll be back soon!! For now though, you can follow @goodluck_charliepod for more encouragement and inspiration whilst the podcast is in hibernation ;).
