After a nine-month hiatus, I'm back behind the podcast microphone for a one-time, special episode that I recorded with my daughter, Olivia. Taylor Swift recently released a brand new album, The Life of a Showgirl, and today we're sharing our juiciest, spiciest thoughts about her new release.

Be warned: this episode is explicit and irreverent. It's all Taylor, all celebration, and you're gonna get all of us, unfiltered and unapologetic. It's definitely not for everyone, but if you're a fan and you're dying to talk to someone about Taylor's latest album, this episode is for you! This one's gonna be fun!!

**This chat may be even better on video, so if you'd like to see us as well as hear us, you can watch this episode on Olivia's youtube channel Liv In Literature, starting on Saturday (10/18/25).

Over the last 300 episodes, I've shared the thoughts that have made the biggest difference in my life, shared experiences and examples from my own life, and encouraged you to apply these thoughts in your own life.

In this final episode, I'm sharing the top 15 things that I hope you have learned by listening to this podcast over the last six years. These are the thoughts that have changed my life and the way I see myself and my life experience—and I hope that they have helped you too.

All good things come to an end, and while this is the final episode of the podcast, I hope that these thoughts and ideas will continue to create awesome results in your life.

***This is the last podcast episode but I am still coaching. If you are interested in coaching, please email me at april@aprilpricecoaching.com and I'll set up a call so we can talk about working together.

I've learned a lot from creating nearly 300 episodes of this podcast, but perhaps the most important is how to show up for myself and pursue the things I want even when my brain wants completely different things.

In this penultimate episode of the podcast, I'm sharing the best lessons that showing up for myself every single week has taught me. I hope they'll help you identify your brain's excuses and fears and give you the courage and tools to overcome them so you can get started and keep going when it feels hard.

If it feels hard to show up for yourself when you "don't have to" or "don't want to," I think this episode will be helpful and inspiring!
