Listen: One Hand discussed on The Jasmine Star Show
"I literally just yelled out my husband from across the house how am I going to start this podcast. His advice came in the form of a question he said what would you say If you walk into a room of your friends so yeah that's where we're starting Hey party people welcome to my podcast okay so listen I want to get a few disclaimers out of the way number one I don't know what I'm doing number two this feels really awkward in number three I'm doing in any way I'm going to get to an introduction of myself in a second but I kind of just want to start with the real stuff immediately because I want to keep this show one hundred I want to be holy myself but this requires a level of transparency to be honest I am not really used to it'd be best to start at the beginning but since I'm totally unprofessional and really complicated let's start in the Middle Lake Right now here today we're in the middle of this podcast an August twentieth two thousand eighteen I sent an email to me newsletter list and it was the first time omitted publicly that I was going to start a podcast okay so real talk on one hand I was really excited to bring people on the journey and on the other amaze seeded hand I dreaded the fact that I was totally accountable to like starting a podcast so before I share a very candid recording that I had with my personal mentor where he gives me an emotional kick in the butt right yes it is actually embarrassing to share but that is coming soon so hang on okay so before I share that recording I'm going to read the newsletter I said so you know how I felt in August which could be how you might be feeling today or perhaps you've experienced this before so this is going to lay the framework I foundation so here we go as a kid I'd write letters to myself and stuff them in a folder like paper filled time capsule has an adult I do the same but I think it's weird so I don't talk about it well I don't talk about it until now for a year I knew I wanted it's my own podcast but I let things get in the way I don't know how to do it I'm so busy would anyone even listened to it does the world need yet another podcast I could keep trusting excuses but they boil down to one really pesky thing fear I hate admitting this but it's true I'm just afraid to put it out in the world in December two thousand eighteen my mentor challenge me to be courageous enough to exchange fear for fun could I give myself the permission to have fun as I explore new challenges and learn a new skill."
