Learning Out Loud: What Podcasting Is Teaching Me

I just wanted to check in and reflect on where I’m at lately — especially when it comes to my podcasting journey. Since upgrading my equipment, things have definitely felt like a learning curve. At first, editing was overwhelming and intimidating. I still consider myself a beginner, but something has shifted. I’m not avoiding it anymore. I don’t feel defeated by the process. Instead, I find myself doing it — learning as I go and gaining confidence along the way. And that, to me, is a big win.

This past week, I recorded two very different interviews that both left a lasting impact on me. One episode explores the coco market and the wellness industry — diving into how these worlds intersect and evolve. The other features my friend Kat, a choreographer who specializes in sensual movement — think pole dancing, chair work, floor routines. But her work goes so much deeper than the movement. Kat empowers women to reconnect with their bodies, feel sexy, embodied, confident — and most importantly, to believe in themselves. She helps strip away the ego and the self-doubt and encourages people to tap into their inner essence. It’s beautiful, powerful work.

Every time I sit down for an interview, I’m reminded how healing this podcast is for me. It truly feels like therapy in a way I never expected. Through these conversations, I’m realizing more and more how, although we’re all different, we’re also so deeply connected. We all have struggles. We all have moments of doubt. And we all have stories that deserve to be heard.

I’ve been pretty open about how tough the last few years have been for me. But what’s changed everything is connection. Vulnerability. Saying things out loud and hearing others do the same. I wish I had started this sooner — maybe it could’ve saved me from some of the inner turmoil I carried for so long. But I also believe every experience brought me to this point. Every hard moment led me here — to this space where I can share, listen, and grow.

What’s amazed me most is realizing that even the most “successful” people I’ve interviewed have their own battles and their own healing journeys. We’re all human. And we’re all here to learn from one another. That lesson becomes more clear with every episode I record.

So I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge this: the growth, the healing, the unexpected joy in something that once scared me. A year from now, I want to look back at this post and remember how far I’ve come. I want to be able to say, “Wow, I remember that feeling… and I’m so glad I kept going.” Because writing it down — sharing it — that’s how we mark the milestones.

Thanks for reading and being part of this journey with me. Truly!
