Gather 'round the fireplace and let the holiday spirit flow as I'm joined by my favorite guest, my delightful daughter Aria, for a Christmas podcast that's bursting with cheer. As Aria recounts her spike from novice to seasoned player, we're whisked away on a journey of athletic determination, highlighted by her shining moments at a Chicago tournament and the camaraderie of her school team. This episode isn't just about serves and volleys, though; it's a heartfelt father-daughter dialogue where we tackle listener questions, revealing the personal milestones and chuckles that have defined our year.
Aria's leap from the dance floor to the volleyball court has been nothing short of a pirouette into new beginnings, and we're peeling back the curtain on the transformation. We're chatting about everything from her evolving fashion sense to the lighthearted banter about a world without boyfriends – yet. The spotlight shines on Aria's favorite dishes, but it's the insightful discussion on the liberating role of the libero in volleyball that serves up an important reminder: in sports, as in life, height isn't the measure of one's potential.
As we wrap up this special segment, we're taking a whimsical detour through wishes of teleportation, musings on beloved school subjects, and memories of family vacations that have etched themselves into our hearts. The podcast may be coming to a close, but the laughter and lessons linger on. Join us in this celebration of the past year's journey, and as we raise our glasses to the future, Aria and I send you off with the warmest of holiday greetings and the promise of more stories and smiles in 2024.
