Hello, and welcome back to the More Money Podcast. I'm your host, Jessica Morehouse, and this is a short and sweet special bonus episode because today's a very special day. Not just because, you know, as this airs, it's December 31st, 2024, New Year's Eve. Happy New Year's. But also, this is the day that my book comes out. Everything But Money, The Hidden Barriers Between You and Financial Freedom is finally available to purchase wherever you want, in-store, online. It's ready for you to grab a copy and read. Now, if you've been listening to this podcast for the past few weeks, few months, few years, you know I've been talking about this for the past couple of years, quite honestly, because it has taken me two years from start to

finish from me pitching this book proposal to my publisher to actually seeing a book with my name on it on bookshelves, two years. And it's been a big labor of love. It's one of the proudest things I think I have in my life. I'm so proud of what, you know, this, I can't believe I wrote a book. Like, that's pretty much what I'm saying. I don't know how I did it. I don't know if I can do it again. I mean, you know, if I get the opportunity, I'm not going to say no, but it's just, it's kind of a wild, weird pinch me moment. I'm like, oh my gosh, we wrote a book, but this would not have, you know, happened if I did not have the support of you amazing podcast listeners. So I really want to thank you, and especially everyone who is so excited that they pre-ordered the book months in advance.

Thank you so much. And if you were one of those amazing people who pre-ordered my book, that also means that today you get access to all of those exclusive extras that I promised you. So if you pre-order the book, you get access to this whole portal with there's some worksheets, some videos, some audio, things that will help you go through some of the exercises in the book, things that will make sense when you read the book. So as you read the book, check into that portal and it'll kind of guide you what chapter you're on and what kind of activity to do. Now, a few other kind of updates. So I think I've mentioned on this show, I was thinking of doing a book tour. I am absolutely doing events in Toronto and Vancouver, and I'm going to be doing some other cities in Canada too, because I am actually recording this bonus episode like a

month in advance of airing it. I do not have all of the affirmed details of every single city or bookstore that I'm going to be going to. So the best thing to do to kind of stay in the loop is either follow me on Instagram at Jessica I. Morehouse or subscribe to my newsletter. You just go to JessicaMorehouse.com slash subscribe and you can get on my email list and you'll be the first to know. But it is looking like I'm going to make a stop in Ottawa and Calgary for sure. And you know, there's some other cities that I'm hopeful. We just have to kind of arrange it. So again, follow me on Instagram at Jessica I. Morehouse and I will put like a pinned post once I have all those dates and locations secured. Now, if you did pre-order the book or you are planning

on buying the book once you finish it, one thing that I would be so, so, so grateful for is if you did pre-order the book or you are planning on buying the book, once you finish it, one thing that I would be so, so, so grateful for is if you left it a review, whether that's on Goodreads or Amazon or Indigo or your local bookstore, whatever. And just so you know, every local small bookstore, I've been doing a lot of research, they have websites where you can put reviews. So this would really be helpful because not only is it helpful to help other potential book buyers get a sense of what this book is about, if it's a good fit for them, but also it helps the algorithms to push my book into those rankings so more people can find out about it. So if you leave me a review, that would be amazing.

And if you want to go even a little above and beyond, if you take a photo or do a video or whatever, take me on social media. You can find all of my social links at jessicamorehouse.com very easily. It's in the footer of my website. But I know most people just use Instagram or I'm just that person that uses Instagram. But if you take me in any other platform, I will do my best to find you and say thank you and reshare it. But again, this is a great way just to let other people know that the book is out. Hey, it might be something that you want to check out for yourself. Okay, so the last thing that I just want to share is some info about next season. Season 20 of the More Money Podcast is going to be a bit of a different season. And we're starting it on January 8th. And it's going to be a special

episode where I read an excerpt from my book. And I'm going to be doing that for the following couple weeks in January. So all month of January, I'm going to be sharing some excerpts from the book, just a few pages, nothing crazy, but just a great idea to get a sense of what the book is, but also what the audiobook is all about, because I did read the audiobook. And then for the rest of the season, and this is also going to be, there's a few episodes in January as well, it's going to be kind of a re-listen episode. So I went through my entire catalog of 430 plus episodes and took a look at some of my personal favorites, took a look at some of the most downloaded episodes, and just kind

of created a whole season based off of what were some of the best and most popular episodes of the More Money Podcast over the past almost 10 years. And so I'm really excited to kind of do that because I know a lot of people haven't listened to every single episode. Fair enough. There's a lot of episodes. So I wanted to kind of curate and show you, you know, hey, if you haven't listened to this episode, give it a re-listen. Let's celebrate almost a decade of the More Money podcast together. With that said, there will still be next season a few new brand new fresh interviews sprinkled in. So it's not just going to be old episodes, because there's so many great

people that keep on, you know, having some interesting stories or books come out that I want to interview. So those will be sprinkled in. But just so you know, next season is going to start on January 8. And it's going to run until about June 4th. And that June 4th, I think, is exactly my 10-year anniversary of the podcast, which is pretty exciting. So that's really the update. Thank you so much for listening, supporting the podcast, supporting me in this book journey, pre-ordering the book or purchasing your book today or in the next couple weeks. And yeah, I just I hope you have a really special New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. And I'm really excited for what's to come in this new year. So with that, I will see you back here in 2025.
