    My Comeback Episode - Perfectionism, Confidence from Content Creation, and Where This Podcast Is Going

    I'm back! In this episode, I chat about why I've been MIA for nearly a year, the ways content creation helps increase confidence, and where things are going with this podcast (and the purpose behind it now). Perfectionism has been something that really prevented me from releasing the podcast episodes I've been trying to record for the past year. And listening back to this one I'm releasing right now, I think there's definitely room for improvement (in just improving my humor and way I talk about things in general to make it more entertaining). But we've all got to start somewhere, and I think that's also one of the biggest reasons why I'm back to create more podcast episodes: I want to use this as an opportunity for self development. Both to get better at verbal communication, but also build up my confidence again, and get the chance to interview some amazing people (hoping to interview some inspiring professionals and public figures). Plus I talk a bit about how Emma Chamberlain has influenced my direction for this podcast. I'm not 100% sure how often I'll be able to publish new episodes and content, just looking at my existing schedule with school, recruiting, and running my design studio (which is still going strong!). But I'm going to do my very best, and hopefully at least be able to release a new episode every couple of months. Or perhaps I'll batch record several and release them over time. We'll see how things go. Thanks for sticking around - I'm excited to share this journey of self discovery and self improvement with you and the podcast guests I bring on! *Apologies for the mic issues (it's been a while since I recorded something haha. Plus...I didn't buy a professional mic and have just been recording from my phone, so that's also partially the reason why - I'm probably going to buy an actual microphone if this podcast picks up).
