My guest wanted to write her own story on a bigger scale and share it by way of a memoir.

This journey may help YOU make ...

I don’t know if you know this but I got my start in podcasting with radio drama. It was a story I voiced myself alongside a cast of other characters and amazing actors that brought them to life but more so, it was a story I wrote myself.

Here is one of my favorite episodes that I’d like to feature again as a reminder to be kind to the most important person in your life…YOU! The way we talk to ourselves can determine how we feel about a lot of things. First and foremost, it reveals what we really think about ourselves.

Not only did it feel weird to begin doing it at first but the word...

You are going to make mistakes. You are going to do things that feel less than perfect. You are also going to get better (if you stick with it). There are so many things that are waiting for you to d...
