Solo Ep - Wow 200 episodes! Reflections, wins, insecurities & hopes.

We’ve reached 200 episodes (I can’t believe it!) and we’re reflecting in this solo ep, where I delve into:

🎙 Starting the podcast with 0 audience or followers and building it to what it is today

🎙 What drives me after 200 episodes

🎙 Why celebrating the small moments is critical to our motivation – shout out to my coach Kris (@insideoutwithkris) for her insights here

🎙 My greatest insecurities to date and the re-frame

And so much more ...

Shout-out to everyone who has tuned in to episodes, followed us on Instagram, watched us on Youtube. To every guest, sponsor and contributor. Parenthood would not be where it is today without every single one of you.

To our audience, I feel so honoured to play a small part in your lives. It’s a privilege I don’t take for granted.
