In this special anniversary episode, Peyton and Mel reflect on the changes, tribulations, endings, and embodiment they've experienced since starting the Phases of the Fool podcast last November.

It’s raw, real, and full of the Fool’s magic- celebrating the chaos, courage, and continuous becoming that defines every phase of our path.
