  • Summary

  • Hi Everyone.  Welcome back to Heart Stormings. 

    This week's gonna be a little bit different, because I don't have an interview to share with you.   Unfortunately, I've had technical difficulties. I had the stresses of work, stresses of dealing with a senior parent, stresses of dealing with, unfortunately, a pet that's not doing so well, so I'm making sure that she's happy and comfortable and quite frankly, I'm exhausted. 

    The downside of running a podcast and doing it all yourself from A to Z, including the edits after the fact, it's time consuming.  It's a lot of work.  It's a lot of fun, but it's also a lot of work.   It's a second job.   But, the upside of running your own podcast is, I don't answer to anyone but myself.  Which is a good thing. 

    I don't know why I put so much pressure on myself to commit to a once a week.  It doesn't have to be once a week, but I decided it's gonna be once a week and I've been beating myself up 'cause I couldn't get the latest episode out in time.    But you know what, it's okay.   Life happens. 

    I'm going to set a standard for myself.  I'm not gonna put so much pressure on myself. I'm going to take a bit of a break and the next podcast won't come out until September.

    The world won't come to an end, I'm sure, 

    I wanna thank everyone who has supported the podcast so far, everyone who shared, liked reposted, posted, everyone who's gone on the hosting platforms and rated the five stars.....Thank you very much 

    and I especially wanna thank the generous women who have shared their stories on the podcast!   It's already making a difference.   I'm already receiving messages from other women who've heard your stories and can so relate to what you're saying, and you've given them ideas and how they can either go out and do the same thing for themselves or give themselves a break and say, you know what? I'm not alone in this.  Other people are going through the same thing, and I need to be kinder to myself. 

    That was the whole goal of this podcast, and I'm so grateful that more than the one person that I wanted to make a difference in their lives....more than one, has had a difference made.  And so I'm so grateful and I'm so happy. 

    But, I don't wanna burn out.   I wanna give myself time, I wanna make sure I still enjoy this process and there's so many amazing women who have graciously and generously signed up to share their stories that are coming up. There's a whole bunch more to come, 

    But I'm gonna take the long weekend.  I hope you guys take the long weekend and take a break and have a great rest of your summer.
