TMEPODCAST

Lately, I’ve been thinking about how much I’ve wanted to call in a mentor for my podcast. Up until now, I’ve just been figuring it out as I go, and honestly, I’m proud of that. I’ve stayed consistent, learned how to edit, bought all my equipment, and even created my own branding from scratch. I designed my graphics on Canva, picked out my colors (a soft purple and a creamy yellow), and started to really own my creative direction.

I’m proud of my episodes. But the truth is, I want more. I still haven’t gotten completely comfortable talking into my phone, but I know I’ll get there.

For a while now, I’ve had this quiet thought in the back of my mind: I want a mentor. Someone who’s walked this path before. Someone who could say, “Hey, I’ve been there too, and here’s what helped me.”

A few weeks ago, a girl from The Montana Method came into one of the classes. I followed her on Instagram and noticed she had a podcast in her bio. I clicked, listened, and instantly loved it. I reached out and asked if she’d want to come on my show, and she said yes.

We scheduled a time to talk about the industry, and she’s not only joining me on the podcast, but also sharing how she monetized her show and turned it into income. I’m so excited to learn from her. I want to soak up everything she has to offer because I really want to make podcasting my thing.

She told me something that stuck with me. As you keep creating, your niche will reveal itself. She said it’s good that I started now because you’re never fully ready. That advice hit home.

I even shared some of my bigger dreams with her, like wanting to be on Dear Media one day. I know I don’t have a big following yet, but none of that feels out of reach.

Something inside me is shifting. My heart feels calm, my mind feels open, and for the first time in a long time, I feel secure in who I am.

Tonight, while out for sushi with friends, I realized how present I felt. I wasn’t anxious or stuck in my head. I was just there, enjoying the moment. And I think this podcast has a lot to do with that.

Because this podcast isn’t just something I’m building, it’s something that’s building me.

Something tells me that something big is coming. I don’t know what it is yet, but I can feel it. Some of my goals are crystal clear, others are still taking shape. But I’m focused on one thing: moving forward.

Forward is my theme word.

For so long, I felt small and like I was just trying to fit in. But that’s not who I am. I don’t want to blend in anymore. I want to stand out, to create something meaningful, to connect deeply, and to grow into the version of myself I know I’m meant to be.

I’ve always wanted to do something big with my life. Listening to The Skinny Confidential and hearing how others built from the ground up reminds me that I can do it too. And I will.

I’m finally growing into myself, and it feels really, really good.
