Do We Love....Almost a Year of Podcasts

Did you love that for us? (https://www.buzzsprout.com/2559263/fa...) One year of podcasting sounds like a milestone, but it feels more like a living scrapbook: tiny wins, inside-the-week chaos, and the kind of friendship that turns random updates into something you can actually feel. We share what we’re planning for our anniversary, from secret merch and new photos to a live event, plus a listener giveaway we’re making ourselves. It’s equal parts celebration and real talk about how community grows one download, one message, and one laugh at a time. We also get surprisingly practical, starting with winter beekeeping prep in New Hampshire. We talk through wrapping hives with a “bee cozy,” adding top insulation, and making emergency sugar blocks so the bees have backup food when it’s cold. If you’re into backyard beekeeping, seasonal prep, or just love learning how other people care for their little ecosystems, this part is full of details you can actually use. Then the conversation goes deeper: adoption day, chosen family, and the kind of boundaries that protect your peace. From there we unpack a simple list of “things you’ll probably never know” and why it hits so hard, especially when you remember the older kids, the cool girls, and the quiet defenders who shaped you. We trade coping skills for stressful workdays like deep breathing, the five senses technique, and small resets, including a surprisingly soothing habit of watching birds online. We even squeeze in a weird law about coasting downhill in neutral, plus rapid-fire favorites from listeners. If you like honest friendship, comforting chaos, and practical coping tools, subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review. What’s one small thing someone did that changed you more than they’ll ever know? Jersey... the musical fruit... er state
