79: Trying Isn’t Embarrassing. Why You Should Go After What You Want, Regardless of What Others Think.
09/04/23 • 22 min
2 Listeners
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.
