This week we’re talking – how a change of season in your life can leave you unsettled & disorientated… as though you’re standing at some sort of, cliched crossroads, perplexed at what direction to take. Maybe it’s a divorce, a move, your baby leaving the nest or suddenly you find yourself out of a job. Perhaps it’s an age milestone birthday making you question your life & the direction it’s taking. How can we embrace these big changes & go confidently & boldly into the new cycle?

This week we’re talking – finishing 2024 strong. Now is not the time to throw in the towel & wait until next year to pursue the goals you’d set for this year. Instead, it’s time to dig deep by persevering & committing to yourself. You might have started the year enthusiastically & then faltered but now is not the time to give up. Hello there & welcome to the Lovoni & Sarah health & wellness podcast.

No matter your goal - whether it be health-related such as regular exercising, losing weight, starting a new business venture, curbing your spending, consistent journaling or whatever it is you’ve been wanting to achieve this year, you can still start and lay some solid foundations for the year to come. So, let’s double down build your confidence and finish the year strong.

We’ll be taking a month-long break from podcasting while we do some traveling, attend to family responsibilities & focus on our businesses.

We’d like to say a heartfelt thank you to those who have listened, watched us & supported us during this season. We appreciate you all so much and we hope you’ll continue to be part of our podcasting community when we return on October 21st.

Until then, look after yourself. And we look forward to sharing with you thought-provoking & inspiring content in the next season.

Before we take a month-long break we’re looking back over season 5 at what were the listeners & our favorite episodes. We felt this season has been quite holistic: getting back to basics, embracing simplicity & practicing mindfulness. Here we recap which episodes had the biggest impact on us. We hope you find something that can resonates with you in one or several of this season's episodes.
