2025 has somehow been simultaneously one of the hardest and one of the best years of my life, and I know many of you can relate. But the Tower year is almost over, and next year is a new beginning. In the Year of the Snake we shed our skin, released that which no longer served us, and were stripped down to the foundation, so that in the Year of the Horse, we can charge forward into our future, shaping our new lives into something beautiful.
With that being said, I will be taking the rest of the year to process and prepare, and obviously to spend the holidays with my family and friends. Podcasts will resume on January 12th, as well as a few fun little extras I've been planning. Jams will continue on Mondays, as well as on Christmas and New Year's. I will also be posting my 2025 metal Christmas playlist if you can't tune in to the jam π€
S/O to everyone who made building Beyond the Stage possible, Don't Shoot The Messenger GA, Axero, Trent Chase, and Stevie Miles. Make sure to check out their episodes on Spotify, which I'll link in the comments. Thank you all so much for taking the time to help me, for sharing your stories, and welcoming me to this incredible community.
I know this year has been hard, and at times terrifying, but I am so proud of us for making it through. Music lifts us up and allows us to find hope in even the darkest times. Here's to shedding our skin, and finding ourselves in the process, and to the music that carries us through. I hope you all have a fantastic holiday season, no matter how you celebrate, and I'll see you all next year! πΎπ₯π
