    Hi Kate & Mike-
    This is Jen from Seattle…I was born and raised in Maine though and absolutely love listening to your Podcast on the days I make my slog of a commute to my nonprofit job. You both are super inspiring and I got so much inspiration from this episode, specifically the motivation to unsubscribe. I set my phone timer for 45 minutes and went on a unsubscribe bender, which felt A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! I appreciate the mix of content on your show as it’s always so rich with the practical and the energetic pieces of life. Thank you for all that you offer.
    -Jen
