In this episode, I talk about my unintended hiatus from the podcast, what I've been doing the last six months and what to expect from the podcast going forward. My intention is to be back to weekly episodes with great health and wellness information and I hope you'll continue to be along for the ride. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gW0_VsL-g8U Automated transcript, may contain errors Cheryl McColgan (00:01.038)Hello everyone, it's Cheryl McColgan, the founder of Heal Nourish Grow and I am welcoming you back today to the Heal Nourish Grow podcast. I have been on a bit of an unintended hiatus and before we just jump back into kind of business as usual here on the podcast, I thought I would just do a quick episode just to kind of reintroduce you to the concept. Tell you. where I've been, what I've been doing, why I didn't announce a break because number one, I didn't know I was going to take one. But just to sort of tell you how things will be going from here on out and let you know what has changed in the Heal Nourish Grow world. So anyway, I actually recorded an episode about maybe five or six weeks ago. I'd have to look back. And is this kind of intended to jump back in, but then I really wanted to get, you know, kind of everything lined up again, get some more guests lined up for you, which I have a couple coming up that I think you'll really enjoy. But on to what happened. So basically I, last summer we made a very sudden decision to sell our house in Cincinnati. It sold very, very quickly. And then we went on what I like to call the Vega Bond Tour. And if you'd like to learn more about that or read more about that, there's several pieces of our adventure over on the website at healnourishgrow.com under the travel section. But basically, since both of our kids are away at school, we decided, okay, let's take advantage of this housing market, sell this big house that we don't need anymore, and we can both work remotely. So we basically just went on the road for a few months and spent… month at a time in a few different places. We started out by getting our kids back to school and then we drove across country and our first stop was staying in Big Sky Montana for a month in a little fishing cabin on the Gallatin River and then we were in Sedona for a month in October and really we intended to do this through about March or April of this year, 2023. and then be back in Cincinnati. Or we thought, well, maybe along the way, we'll look at some real estate and see if there's somewhere else we wanna be, but we pretty much fully intended to be back in Cincinnati. Well, there were other plans in mind for us, apparently, because we ended up really falling in love with a house that we found in the Salt Lake, Utah area. We love to snowboard, and that's one of the things that we were enjoying about the idea of being able to travel. Um, you know, for a month at a time is to stay in some different places that were snowboarding locations. Cause normally we only get to snowboard once or twice a winter, maybe three times. But we have to travel to do that because as you know, Cincinnati is not exactly the hotbed of ski and snowboards area. So, um, so that's something that we enjoy and we figure while we can still do it. Uh, why not be actually close to it and be able to do it anytime. And we just happened to do it in the season where. In Utah, this was the most snow they've ever had like ever in history in this, in the mountains now down in the city, there was a lot of snow too, but mostly it's in the mountains and so, uh, you know, not everybody had to deal with that amount of snow all the time, but it's like 900 inches in the mountains for the year. So it was a pretty epic snowboard year. So if we ever were going to move, this was a good time to make that decision. And so what happened with the podcast was I was, I had done really well of. pre-booking a whole bunch of episodes and I was actually took
