27: Solo Episode -- Reflections on the 2018 Season

I'm not going to lie - I took a break from interviewing this November to avoid burning out. I didn't want to resent having to interview people (when I truly LOVE connecting with them), and I didn't want to just ask the same questions on repeat without a positive energy coming through. So that meant relying on the episodes I had banked, and also means you get a solo episode from me today!

A good friend of mine operates by a "So What? Who Cares?" approach to her research and work, and I've quickly adopted that to sharpen the impact and relevance of my own work. This solo episode centres some of the main lessons and thoughts I've had about AnthroDish using the So What/Who Cares approach. It occurred to me this past month that I don't really share my own thoughts or reflections on the show the way that other podcast hosts do. Part of that is intentional, as I like to let these interviews speak to the ideas and issues I'm passionate about - but I thought it would be fun to put together some key takeaways I've personally had to wrap up the 2018 season, and share some of the changes I'm considering for the 2019 season.

With that being said, AnthroDish will be going on a two week HIATUS after this episode - I speak a lot about slowing down and connecting with the land and food we eat, but I've found myself rushing around a lot more lately, and want to remember to practice this myself. We'll be back on air January 8th, 2019 for the new season, and starting off with a super exciting interview with one of the co-hosts from The Dirt Podcast! So let me know your thoughts about the 2018 season on social media - what did you love/like/dislike, what themes do you really wish we explored, or what guests do you think would be great additions to the show? I so value the connections I've made since starting this show, and I want to honour what YOU as listeners want to hear from this show as much as I can for 2019.

Until then - I hope you enjoy this solo episode and time with your families for the holiday season. I know it can get stressful and busy (coming from a mum who's daughter was born on Christmas Day), but always remember that you can slow down, say no to parties or events that don't really feed your soul in any meaningful way, and focus your time on the people you really want to celebrate life with, whoever that community may be!
