WEBVTT - A Short Message From Maya!

0:00:14.916 --> 0:00:31.516
<v Speaker 1>Pushkin, Hey, Slight Changers. We're on break for the holiday

0:00:31.556 --> 0:00:34.556
<v Speaker 1>this week, but we return next Monday with our season finale.

0:00:35.436 --> 0:00:37.996
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to take this moment to express my gratitude

0:00:37.996 --> 0:00:40.516
<v Speaker 1>to you for listening to A Slight Change of Plans.

0:00:41.436 --> 0:00:44.436
<v Speaker 1>Making the show has truly been the greatest gift of

0:00:44.476 --> 0:00:47.636
<v Speaker 1>my adult life, and that's largely because it's allowed me

0:00:47.676 --> 0:00:50.596
<v Speaker 1>to connect with so many of you. You've given me

0:00:50.636 --> 0:00:53.516
<v Speaker 1>a strong sense of community during a time when it's

0:00:53.516 --> 0:00:57.276
<v Speaker 1>been challenging to connect with others. Over the past year

0:00:57.316 --> 0:00:59.476
<v Speaker 1>and a half, I've been energized by the way you've

0:00:59.476 --> 0:01:03.436
<v Speaker 1>deeply engaged with the show. I've loved hearing your reflections

0:01:03.476 --> 0:01:06.516
<v Speaker 1>on different episodes, whether it's a guest who allowed you

0:01:06.556 --> 0:01:08.876
<v Speaker 1>to see something in a new light, or when you've

0:01:08.916 --> 0:01:13.036
<v Speaker 1>changed my mind about something I've gotten wrong. Most of all,

0:01:13.476 --> 0:01:15.996
<v Speaker 1>I'm touched by those of you who've trusted me with

0:01:16.076 --> 0:01:19.556
<v Speaker 1>your own stories of change. I hold each of them close.

0:01:20.716 --> 0:01:23.796
<v Speaker 1>I don't take for granted that even one person takes

0:01:23.836 --> 0:01:25.996
<v Speaker 1>time out of their busy lives to listen to A

0:01:26.036 --> 0:01:29.236
<v Speaker 1>Slight Change of Plans. You inspire me to keep giving

0:01:29.236 --> 0:01:32.556
<v Speaker 1>this show my all. As we continue to explore together

0:01:33.116 --> 0:01:36.996
<v Speaker 1>how the big changes in our lives change us. Last week,

0:01:37.036 --> 0:01:39.716
<v Speaker 1>a listener the show, Lauren, reached out to me to

0:01:39.756 --> 0:01:42.476
<v Speaker 1>say that this podcast is like a warm blanket to her.

0:01:43.316 --> 0:01:46.276
<v Speaker 1>You all make me feel similarly cozy with your love

0:01:46.276 --> 0:01:50.516
<v Speaker 1>and support, so thank you. As always, I'd love to

0:01:50.556 --> 0:01:53.636
<v Speaker 1>continue hearing from you and learning from you. It's a

0:01:53.716 --> 0:01:55.916
<v Speaker 1>rare and special thing to be able to say that

0:01:55.996 --> 0:02:00.156
<v Speaker 1>Instagram is my happy place, but thanks to you, it's true.

0:02:00.836 --> 0:02:04.196
<v Speaker 1>You can find me there at doctor Maya Schunker. Have
