Several years ago, I had a conversation with a colleague about starting a podcast.
She believed I had something unique to say—not because the message itself was groundbreaking, but because the messenger, me, brought something distinct to the table. That conversation stuck with me, but at the time, I didn’t have the capacity to act on it.
I needed to focus first on getting my blog into a better state and aligning other activities in my life. Writing has always been my first love—yes, even more than the sound of my voice! Over time, I’ve worked to structure my systems so that everything flows in the current.
Today, I recorded my first podcast. I’m grateful that the idea stayed with me and that I exercised “sticktuitiveness” to make it a reality.
Here’s what I want to encourage you with: You are a unique messenger, too. The experiences, perspectives, and insights you bring to the table are unlike anyone else’s. If there’s something you’ve set aside, remember that the world needs your voice and your story—not someone else’s version of it.
