Should I start a podcast?
I'm discussing my favorite podcasts and something I've wanted to do for years.
First, a backstory. Years and years ago, when I ran my old site, we recorded a first episode of a podcast. The guest wasnāt the most engaging and we had so many other things on our plate that it never went live.
Years later, I really wanted to start a podcast but again, through my old site. There was a ton of back and forth and ultimately, I was the one who was excited about it, but wasnāt given the green light to host. Long story, so it didnāt happen. But then it did, and when it did, I had already left.
Over the last year or so, I have gotten really into podcasts. My favorites are Smartless, How I Built This, Dear Chelsea, We Can Do Hard Things, and Good Inside (that last one is in the parenting space).
I realize that there isnāt a shortage of podcasts out there but I canāt shake the idea of going back to the original roots of why I wanted to start my old site. Sitting down one-on-one and diving into the real stuff (vs. small talk) is what I love. So Iād love to sit down and share the real, hard, inspiriting things that women go through. And yes, itās important to hear from people who have found success, and Iād want to talk to those people, but everyone has a story and I think thereās something in that.
I also have so much to say about my life and healing, and conversations with other people who have gone through difficult experiences are always so inspiring to me. I donāt know how to explain it and know people wonāt always want to share all their secrets with me, but people I would never expect open up to me in a
My decision to ultimately move forward will stem from me wanting to do this (or not), but I would really appreciate any thoughts or feedback.
Are you a podcast person? Would you want to listen?
Should I start a podcast?
I rarely listen to podcasts but it sounds like youāre really passionate about it so you should give it a go!
Yes, please! Iām pretty sure I would listen to anything you put out there, simply because I love how you communicate on your blog and on socials and I feel like a podcast would just be another fun medium to share your gift. I hope you will decide for it! š
