Happy December!
For many, it’s time to wrap up the year before some festivities and down time. It’s also a great opportunity to reflect on the year’s events calling out some highlights.

What does this mean for 2024? ⏭️
Well, the obvious one is to get the app released for some user testing.
Brian and I are busy beavering away on the features and UX over the festive period (we're even meeting for a long overdue coffee whilst I'm visiting Iceland on a family holiday).
📤 If you want to jump the queue, reply to this email so I can prioritise you.
I'll also be recommencing the Snapshots content on Youtube along with some of the spin-off formats. Podcast audio is not really taking off yet so I'm not going to invest too much time in that.
I also want to make sure this newsletter is being used to it's full potential so expect some different formats to experiment with user feedback and audience participation.
With all that, I'd like to finish off by saying THANK YOU for being part of this journey with me. Have a wonderful end-of-year break and speak in 2024 when PETALS will be starting a new year on the front foot.
Festive hugs, 🫂
