69: Celebrate your voice: How to start a podcast

Thyme in the Studio: Art & Wellness

To celebrate Inauguration day I'm sharing a great way you can share your voice with the world this year. Start a Podcast! I’ve been asked numerous times this week, how I started and while there are gobs of episodes out there with the same idea, I felt called to share my story and you may relate. I am not tech-savvy. I am prone to distraction and can be a bit of a commitment-phobe but I have stuck it out for 69 episodes and going on 3 years. I’ve had to take some breaks, I’ve changed the format and continued to evolve and learn, and have done this on a budget. I’m slowly growing my community and this podcast is starting to make a profit. So I want to tell you what you need and don’t need to start a podcast and how to dig into your purpose more. I want to help you avoid some mistakes I have made along the way and save you time and money.

I’m also creating a handy dandy checklist and that is available at www.Thymeinthestudio.com

And maybe you don’t want to start a podcast, there are still great writing prompts and ideas for evolving your creative endeavors.

Please share this episode with a friend who you think would be a great podcaster but maybe they are stopping themselves before they get started because of a lack of self-confidence or worried they won’t know what to say after episode 3.

I’m including some flower essences that have helped me keep going on this journey and some tough talk about expectations in the next episode.

Thanks to Corrina Repp for letting me share her songs, Release me in the beginning of the episode and “Need You/Don’t Need You for the outro.

Feel free to drop me a line if you have any questions or want some advice and I might include your question in a future episode!

And an extra big shout out to my beloved patrons- Jennifer, Jeremy, Jb, Emery, Mary and Katie, Vicky, and Herbal Marie. I know some of my supporters don’t have much disposable income and every penny counts to them and so it is extra meaningful that they make the sacrifice to support this work. I believe in supporting people and projects I believe in and so while I don’t spend money on too much of anything besides groceries, I do donate to a few people whose work I love. I want more money in the hands of people doing good work in this world. And I appreciate you trusting me with your time and pennies.
