Is it really over?! Yes… kind of... maybe not really. In this episode Lisa shares her initial vision for the Pat Poems, how it became this series, and her vision for Giving Words all together. That isn’t without some tangents, some storytelling and of course, a poem!

Join us as we discuss the project, the challenges of creativity, what it means to get started, learning and some lessons I’ve learned along the way from podcasting basics to the power of impacting others lives through sharing your own. In our final episode, here are 5 key takeaways:

Just start. Do the thing and plan to do it messily.
Failure is an amazing teacher.
Connect with those you love. Often.
There’s power in sharing your story.
Everything is just right.

It has been a beautiful journey these last four months and I thank you for listening and being here.

Stay connected! Stay tuned and like the show so you can join us at the end of this summer with Giving Words next limited series!
