Episode 200 - What I've Learned From 200 Episodes

This episode is part reflection, part confession, and part celebration. I'm sharing some of the background about what it has taken to keep this podcast going, why I struggled sharing other content online over the years, how criticism has shaped my voice, and how I am finding my way back to creating from a place of honesty rather than fear. I pull back the curtain to share what it's like to do this as a woman, how often we contort ourselves to fit other people's expectations, how exhausting it is even when we know we're doing it, and the uphill battle of trying to hold your ground in spaces that weren't built for your voice. That tension has shaped more of my creativity, my nervous system, and my self-expression than I ever realized. If you're in a season where effort feels invisible, give this a listen.
