“So often people don't feel great this time of year. They do let a lot of their habits go and feel guilty and ashamed and like they're not worth it and they've failed. “Whereas instead you can sort of feel empowered and confident in your food decisions and also not deprived, like an element of restriction. Trying to maintain certain habits will probably always be required because other...

“It’s true that there are going to be certain places in certain spaces where you're even more alive and more aligned with the people around you. The things you're talking about, the things you're prioritising, the things that are important to you are going to be different in a community that you're really aligned in versus it's a community where you're finding alignment, bu...

“I had a good friend who was a podcaster, and he always encouraged me to start a show, but of course it took many, many, many years until I was ready, but there were little seeds planted along the way. “It's still an experiment, and it always was an experiment, and I feel very in touch with my creativity. And so, rather than having a plan where this is the way it is, it's much more of a cr...

“I always knew that I wanted to work in highlighting women's stories and increasing representation of women within non-traditional roles.

“Social media was getting very hard to attract people to see your content. I felt there was a time where it was just really a waste of my time and podcasting seemed like a better fit and to be able to get to a specific audience that I wanted to speak to. I decided to create the podcast so that people could listen to it when they wanted, how they wanted, and go from there, and it's been a game chan...

“We're a niche market, but the opportunity to connect with other people, was a really big draw. It certainly increased our support level, but also was just such a boon to us personally, and to a lot of other folks, to have this community of weirdos who wanted to joke around and do all kinds of wild things. “I'm so grateful to Patreon for making it easy, not only to offset the costs of maki...

“I think the most important thing that I needed to hear over and over and over, because I would hear it in the course that I took, but I needed to keep hearing it, is I am absolutely, you are absolutely qualified, like the world needs what you have. And even if there is another podcast on whatever it is that you want to talk about, no one can do it like you.” Our featured podcast host in this epis...

“One of my teachers when I was in high school, and this has always stuck with me, but she said, my job is to make sure that when you leave this classroom, you know more than when you walked in. “And I used that as a guide for my own teaching. And I use that as a guide for podcasting. When the listener is done with the episode, do they know more than when they started and enjoy the experience along...

“You are free to change from the person you were five minutes ago, your podcast is free to change. “Just get started. Just start moving in the direction that feels good to you right now. And then check in with yourself when it's not feeling good anymore and say, what am I interested in right now? What feels like it might want to shift, what could be more fun for me?” Our featured podcast host in t...

“I like to say competence builds confidence. So at first you don't have any confidence so you feel like an imposter because you’re new, you're a beginner, but the more reps you do, the more you feel strongly about it and the less bothered you are about it cutting out or whatever, you know, whatever thing might happen as it does. And the more you just kind of get on with it and let it go. “...

“You do not have to be the best podcaster. You don't have to be the most talented podcaster. You can actually develop those skills over time and do not compare yourself to others. Even if you're not the best podcaster, you can still be in the top two and a half percent globally, which is where I'm at. I got within six months and I'm not the best podcaster out there, but you can do...

“The moments that stand out for me are the moments where the guest and I are in such a flow that it feels like something magical being created in that conversation and that space that we hold for one another and those ideologies that get presented and the questions that come through and the answers, it's the magic in those moments that really is the gift for me from the podcast and through the...

“I have such an imposter syndrome about that, like I'm feeling like an imposter because I make a few mistakes from time to time. I have an accent. I'm taking action anyway.

“When I was trying to make myself do more episodes, when I was trying to think what the other people wanted, it started to not be fun. And then I thought, well, if this is not fun, then I don't want to do it. That's the energy you're putting into it. If I'm putting stressed-out energy into my podcast, then other people are going to feel that as well.” Our featured podcast host in t...
