Ashley Alderson records a short podcast update (Jan 6, 2021) announcing a brief season break and previewing plans for a new season of the Boutique Chat Podcast. She reflects briefly on the difficulty of 2020, encourages listeners to set goals and join her "Best Year Yet" challenge, asks listeners to message her on Instagram (ajalderson) with topic/guest suggestions, and previews upcoming initiatives for boutique owners (mobile app, new wholesale marketplace, and training/marketing opportunities). She thanks guests, listeners, and Hub members and promises the new season will return soon.

Hey, you did it. You did it. You survived 2020. I'm not sure if it was a dumpster fire or a year that was on fire, or maybe it was a year where you realized why you're here in the first place. Regardless, you guys, January is my favorite month of the year, and I hope you're taking some time right now to refresh and to set some new goals and to really clarify your vision for the new year ahead. And even better yet, maybe you're already participating with me inside of the Best Year yet challenge as we map out how to conquer 2021 together. For regardless, I just wanted to pop in your ear today to let you know I'm taking a little break. We're just on a season break for a short period of time while we refocus and start the new year off fresh. And we're mapping out all of our major plans for 2021 on this podcast. So will you do me a favor? I would love to know if you would take a minute today and pop over to my Instagram ajalderson and just shoot me a message about what you'd love to hear more of on this podcast. Is it more guest interviews? Is it more solo interviews? Is it a certain type of guest? Or is there a question that been dying to ask and to have answered? I've already got some episodes recorded and I've got more to come that I cannot wait to share with you as we launch a brand new season together. But my goal is just to be as present and as transparent with you each and every week as I possibly can and to bring you guests who are willing to do the same. If you had a podcast this year that you loved, a guest that you loved, please also do me this favorite. Tell them, reach out to them, message them on Instagram. Because this podcast isn't possible without some really amazing boutique owners who are willing to get authentic and transparent and and sometimes tell more than they thought they ever would to make this show happen. So it's not possible without them and I'm so grateful for them and I hope you are too. Please let them know and tell them. Thank you. You guys. We have some humongous plans for 2021 that we're working on right now and I can't wait to tell you more about. So if you are excited, so stick around. Whether it's these things that we've got coming for mobile apps that are going to come to your phone to bring you all the education you need, new wholesale shopping opportunities through our new marketplace or a number of other training opportunities that are going to teach you some pretty cool new marketing strategies. Guys, we've got lots of things in the works, so I just want to come back and say thank you. Thanks for making this podcast what it is. Thank you for listening and sticking by each and every week and supporting the guests that we bring here, and thank you for being Hub members. So many of you are. It's going to be an amazing year, and I cannot wait to do this year with you. So hang tight. I'll be back in your ear before you know it, and we're going to launch a new season of this podcast together. I appreciate you and I wish you all the best in 2021.
