This is the Fall 2025 Edition of my audio newsletter. In this episode, I update you on my business, both of my podcasts, my family, and what I’ve been listening to, reading, watching, and playing between August 22-December 3, 2025. This is my last Fall update because I’m switching from a weekly format to a monthly format in February 2026.
Host background (December 2025)
Kim Newlove is an Ohio-licensed pharmacist. She graduated from The University of Toledo College of Pharmacy with her BS Pharm in 2001. She has experience in hospital, retail, compounding, and behavioral health. Kim is not in clinical practice anymore. Instead, she uses my voice to write, narrate, and podcast—drawing on her experience to help others share their own voices through spoken and written content.
