Reflecting on a year of "Just Saying With Chelsea," the journey has been a whirlwind of lessons. The exhilaration of connecting with listeners, sharing stories, and diving into conversations has been unparalleled fun. Yet, in the same breath, it's been an expedition of challenges that tested my resilience. These trials, while demanding, have been my greatest teachers, showing me the depths of my own capabilities and urging me to evolve.

Amidst the podcasting hustle, something remarkable occurred – I found a spiritual connection. This platform, this medium of expression, led me to explore my faith in God, unveiling a new dimension of purpose and meaning. It's a testament to the unexpected avenues of growth this venture has unveiled.

Another highlight has been the people I've met, guests who've broadened my horizons and introduced me to perspectives I might never have encountered. Through these connections, I've gained insights about the world and myself, further fueling my own personal development.

And then there's the practical wisdom: never hit that record button when you're thirsty, hungry, angry, or tired. It's a simple rule that's saved me from more than a few unnecessary retakes.

In sum, this year of podcasting has been transformative – a journey that beautifully weaves together joy, challenge, spirituality, connection, and self-discovery. With each episode, I've come to embrace the hurdles as opportunities, inviting growth and deepening my relationship with both my audience and Jesus!

So, as we wrap up this episode and this season, I want to express my gratitude – to my guests, to my listeners, and to the divine presence of God that has guided me on this extraordinary journey. Thank you for being a part of this journey, and remember, in every word spoken, in every connection made, there's an opportunity to find God.

Stay curious, stay open, and as always, keep just saying.
