79: Trying Isn’t Embarrassing. Why You Should Go After What You Want, Regardless of What Others Think.

Trying Not to Care
If you’re worried about what others think, listen to this episode.
After seeing a video of two women (who run a podcast) making fun of aspiring creators for posting online, I decided it was time for me to talk about the topic myself. I started this podcast with nothing. I just quit my job, I didn’t have a huge online presence, and I had no idea how or if Trying Not to Care would work. I looked at other podcasters who already had a huge following and loyal listeners. In doing that, I almost allowed the comparison of my show to theirs, to stop me from pursuing my spot in the podcast community.
In today’s episode, I talk about not allowing what others are doing/thinking to steer you away from doing what you want, why it’s not embarrassing to put yourself out there and how to fake it until you make it. Everyone is a "faux-fluencer" before they become an influencer. You have to start somewhere.

80: Your Only Competition Is Yourself

In today's episode, I talk about my experience with comparing my time in the podcast space to others. As I've compared my journey to others, I've noticed that the only time I find myself doubting my abilities is when I'm putting them up against others. In this episode, I talk about comparison and its negative effects on you, Bevy Smith's "Take a Note, Give a Note" and how the only real competition you have is yourself.
