00:00:14,916 --> 00:00:31,516
Speaker 1: Pushkin, Hey, Slight Changers. We're on break for the holiday

2
00:00:31,556 --> 00:00:34,556
Speaker 1: this week, but we return next Monday with our season finale.

3
00:00:35,436 --> 00:00:37,996
Speaker 1: I wanted to take this moment to express my gratitude

4
00:00:37,996 --> 00:00:40,516
Speaker 1: to you for listening to A Slight Change of Plans.

5
00:00:41,436 --> 00:00:44,436
Speaker 1: Making the show has truly been the greatest gift of

6
00:00:44,476 --> 00:00:47,636
Speaker 1: my adult life, and that's largely because it's allowed me

7
00:00:47,676 --> 00:00:50,596
Speaker 1: to connect with so many of you. You've given me

8
00:00:50,636 --> 00:00:53,516
Speaker 1: a strong sense of community during a time when it's

9
00:00:53,516 --> 00:00:57,276
Speaker 1: been challenging to connect with others. Over the past year

10
00:00:57,316 --> 00:00:59,476
Speaker 1: and a half, I've been energized by the way you've

11
00:00:59,476 --> 00:01:03,436
Speaker 1: deeply engaged with the show. I've loved hearing your reflections

12
00:01:03,476 --> 00:01:06,516
Speaker 1: on different episodes, whether it's a guest who allowed you

13
00:01:06,556 --> 00:01:08,876
Speaker 1: to see something in a new light, or when you've

14
00:01:08,916 --> 00:01:13,036
Speaker 1: changed my mind about something I've gotten wrong. Most of all,

15
00:01:13,476 --> 00:01:15,996
Speaker 1: I'm touched by those of you who've trusted me with

16
00:01:16,076 --> 00:01:19,556
Speaker 1: your own stories of change. I hold each of them close.

17
00:01:20,716 --> 00:01:23,796
Speaker 1: I don't take for granted that even one person takes

18
00:01:23,836 --> 00:01:25,996
Speaker 1: time out of their busy lives to listen to A

19
00:01:26,036 --> 00:01:29,236
Speaker 1: Slight Change of Plans. You inspire me to keep giving

20
00:01:29,236 --> 00:01:32,556
Speaker 1: this show my all. As we continue to explore together

21
00:01:33,116 --> 00:01:36,996
Speaker 1: how the big changes in our lives change us. Last week,

22
00:01:37,036 --> 00:01:39,716
Speaker 1: a listener the show, Lauren, reached out to me to

23
00:01:39,756 --> 00:01:42,476
Speaker 1: say that this podcast is like a warm blanket to her.

24
00:01:43,316 --> 00:01:46,276
Speaker 1: You all make me feel similarly cozy with your love

25
00:01:46,276 --> 00:01:50,516
Speaker 1: and support, so thank you. As always, I'd love to

26
00:01:50,556 --> 00:01:53,636
Speaker 1: continue hearing from you and learning from you. It's a

27
00:01:53,716 --> 00:01:55,916
Speaker 1: rare and special thing to be able to say that

28
00:01:55,996 --> 00:02:00,156
Speaker 1: Instagram is my happy place, but thanks to you, it's true.
