018 // The Rise Year in Review and a Definite Direction for the Coming Podcast Year

Yesterday marked the one year anniversary of the debut of this podcast.  Wow.  One year. What a whirlwind year it has been!

I’ve been whirling behind the scenes anyway as my consistency with creating episodes for this podcast has been seriously lacking.  My attention has been focused on creating content for my other podcast, Published Before College.

I’ve also taken four intense courses to learn podcasting, blogging, productivity, and Notion, tech tool that’s helping me get my life and business organized.  I’ve made entrepreneurial friends that I’m now in a mastermind with, have been a featured guest on several other podcasts, and changed day job.  I’m still working for the same insurance company, but now I’m getting paid to write fascinating things like underwriting guides.  It’s not my burning passion, but it’s a step in the right writing direction. 

Along the way, I’ve toyed with the idea of disbanding this podcast altogether.  Life sure would be easier if my focus was on one podcast.  But anytime I think of letting this one go, I’m filled with a nagging sense that my work here is unfinished, and I have a responsibility to see this through.

Tune in to find out why I'm moving forward with two podcasts and how this podcast is being designed to help any author stuck in mediocrity rise toward her writing dreams.
