It’s a hard day. But it’s a good day. Today’s episode of The Chris Loves Julia Podcast with Preston Pugmire will be the last of the series. Despite the million+ downloads, multiple sponsors per episode and the success stamp that most people would put on the podcast, including me, last week, I had a major breakthrough that left me in tears. And then led me to have a really, really difficult conversation with the team to end the podcast. We recorded our final episode less than 24 hours later, and the feelings were (and still are) very raw. That is to say, okay, I cry more and explain what led me to this unexpected decision.
Listen to this and other episodes on: iTunes, GooglePlay, Stitcher, TuneIn.
The theme of the episode is fear, because it had everything to do with fear. But we also touch on the scary thing that happened at our cabin, a bold decision that made our bathroom plans “click,” and share some of our favorite moments from the podcast, too.
We took this photo our last day in the studio:
This one was taken almost 2 years ago–our first day recording.
I know this will come as a shock to many of you, and I’m sure you will share in our sadness about it. But I hope by listening to this episode, you understand why the time is right.
We are so excited for what’s to come.

Just listened to the last episode and I was a little sad that it didn’t include a last time “Can’t Get You Outta My Mind”!! That part of the show with Julia’s singing was my favorite. I laughed every time the clip was played and sang along to it at work! Love you guys, can’t wait to see whats in store next! Hugs!!!!!
I have loved listening to your Podcast. Angela is going to miss you!
I’m sad that the podcast is ending, but thank goodness for repeat listening!
Julia, I found your explanation for ending the podcast inspiring on so many levels. Looking forward to seeing what you have in store. Cheers to the future of CLJ!
Oh man I am super sad about this news! I wish there could have been more of a fade out, like a final month or two… but I understand needing to move on to other things. I’m with several of these other commenters though, do y’all have any other Home podcasts you’d recommend? I listen to YHL already as well. I love blogs of course, but I think I learn best by listening which is why I enjoyed your podcast so much.
Your show got me hooked on podcasts in the first place. I’m so sad!! I feel like it’s the end of an era, but I’m looking forward to what you have up your sleeve. :)
