WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD I CREATE A PODCAST

Sit back and laugh at, think about or disregard everything you hear in this podcast. Let's roll.

The truth is, I’ve wanted to do a podcast for a long time. I teeter between feeling I know a lot, to feeling I know absolutely nothing. Sound familiar? Ah, that wonderful imposters syndrome we all succumb to.

Do I think I know a lot? Not particularly. Do I think I know just enough that’s worth sharing? Do I think everyone does? Absolutely.

And I suppose if we're looking for a podcast from a perfect person, we'll be directed to absolutely nowhere, since to my knowledge, Jesus doesn't have a platform on iTunes. I’ve had a drive to create a space where I could create, converse and throw out my brilliant (and not so brilliant) thoughts into the void. I’m a passionate person, and as many might relate, my passions are across the board, and one thing doesn’t seem to relate to the other. It wasn’t until my cousin, my mentor for this podcast endeavor I’m undertaking, and the host of About Progress distilled it all for me. I like serious stuff. Sure. But I’m not a huge fan of listening to something that makes me feel emotionally heavier.

I’m not particularly cutesy, I’m not certified in anything other than making the best milkshakes in the world, and it all came down to just wanting to discuss the serious stuff, not so seriously. Thank you, Monica for bringing my true feelings and thoughts to life.

This podcast is not for everyone. I say dumb things all the time. I might accidentally sound preachy and also misinformed and ignorant. What can I say? I’m a growing human, and my brain doesn’t seem to work as fast as my mouth. I’m working on it, and I’m afraid that at this rate, I’ll be working on it until the day I die.

But ultimately, I have conversations in my heart that I haven’t had. Interests I haven’t developed. People I need to meet, compassion I need to discover and a whole host of other things that probably don’t make much sense. This is a place for it all. Will it help anyone? Sure will. But it might just be me.

So sit back and laugh at, think about or disregard everything you hear in this podcast. A place where we discuss motherhood, mental health, marriage, side gigs and who knows what else.

My hope is you’ll feel emotionally lighter at the end of each episode. Because there’s enough seriousness out there. Let’s just relax, pour some Dr. Pepper and have a good time.
