This photo is from June 2018. I podcast…. to hopefully feel like I did in this photo. I think I sent it to my Mom or a close friend.
I was excited. I was eager. I was goofy in a good way. More than six years later, I want to keep feeling like I did that day… Thanks for your help in my quest to feel like this! I am rooting for you and your quest too!

to feel something!!! 🥹🥲
Folks might not know but David Nebinski was one of my podcast workshop coaches way way back in the day: 2019. When I got a mic of my own I headed out to be a podcaster somewhat in his image. Almost 5 years later I can say I'm still curious about all the many ways "Why I Podcast" reveals this choice to me.
With gratitude for being a swell teacher, David! I'm here because you're there.
