Five years ago, I started The Court: The Podcast with a microphone, a vision, and faith that my voice mattered. I had no roadmap, no audience, and no idea how far this journey would take me.

In this final episode, I reflect on where I was when this podcast began, the lessons I learned along the way, the moments that stretched me, and the purpose that carried me through every season. This is not an ending rooted in loss, but one grounded in gratitude, growth, and trust in what comes next.

Thank you to every guest who trusted me with their story, every listener who pressed play, and every version of myself that showed up when it would have been easier not to. This episode is a farewell, a thank you, and a reminder that nothing built with intention is ever wasted.
