Podcast Your Story Now: Your Story Matters

Everyone has a story and every story deserves to be told, heard, and honored. Your host, Julie Marty-Pearson, shares her story of chronic illness and the lessons learned through pain and resilience.
When my own health journey compelled me to seek answers to the strange dental issues that haunted my twenties, I never expected the lessons it would teach me about resilience and self-advocacy. Now I'm bringing story of autoimmune diseases, specifically Fibromyalgia and Sjogren's Syndrome, to this podcast in hopes of connecting with others who navigate similar paths.
Join me as I lay out the unspoken challenges and discuss the real costs—emotional, physical, and financial—of living with these diagnoses. I am creating a space where honesty shines, stigmas are dismantled, and the voices of experience resonate with hope and understanding. No matter your journey, the story of how you got to where you are today matters.

Everyone has a story and every story deserves to be told, heard, and honored. Your host, Julie Marty-Pearson, interviews her friend and fellow podcaster, Rebecca Johnson, about her journey in podcasting.
When Rebecca and I first crossed paths in person at PodFest earlier this year, it wasn't just a meeting of minds—it was a heart-felt connection, bound by the shared passion of podcasting. This conversation is a testament to that very bond. We discuss how community and networking are the lifeblood of any podcaster's journey. With stories of widowhood and the healing power of humor, we talk about the intimate paths of personal transformation and the strength that comes from a collective voice in podcasting. Our conversation moves through the complexities of beginning a podcast, the therapeutic embrace of sharing our stories, and the joy of witnessing our podcasts evolve alongside us. It's a story of starting simple yet dreaming big, a balance every podcaster strives for. Rebecca brings her unique insights into podcasting for women, underscoring the importance of authentic storytelling in a world that too often muffles female voices.
During our chat, I also share how Rebecca's podcast recently impacted me deeply and gave me the push to tell my story, part of which is told in the previous episode of this podcast. Just as we discuss from our own experiences in podcasting and how your story is just waiting to be amplified by the podcasting community. Are you ready to Podcast Your Story Now?
