SHOWNOTES:

In this special milestone episode, I’m celebrating something that still feels surreal: 100 episodes of the Value of Wrinkles podcast. Join me as I take you behind the scenes of this four-year journey from recording under a blanket during COVID, to late night sessions past midnight, to navigating tech changes, long pauses, and everything in between.

You’ll hear honest reflections, funny confessions (yes - recording in a hot car counts), and the deeper purpose behind every episode I create: helping you love your older loved ones better while learning to love yourself through aging too.

 

Highlights:

00:00 - Celebrating 100 Episodes

04:57 - The Journey of Podcasting

10:46 - Behind the Scenes of Podcasting
