I wanted to find a special way to celebrate being single on Valentine’s Day, so I thought a podcast episode would be a great way to share some joy. Rather than having one guest, I thought it was important to hear a variety of perspectives, including women and men.
You probably saw my call for singles to record messages through the blog or social media. I thought everyone would be game to do it, but it was crickets for a few days. Then a couple of women from my podcast group jumped right in and sent me some wonderful recordings.
Things got quiet again. I tried to think of all of the reasons people didn’t want to do it. I thought about the first time I recorded my voice and how awkward I felt. I hated the sound of my voice. Maybe some people were going through those same experiences. I also wondered if they were having a difficult time coming up with answers to the questions. I decided to do a Facebook Live to give some examples of how I might answer the questions, after some coaxing from my life coach. He also shared my Facebook Live on his social media, which helped me get two more people.
Then I continued to beg friends and others in my podcasting mastermind group and was able to get some additional responses to the questions, and it was finally coming together.
As I listened to each person share their answers, I learned something new from each of them. I hope you will enjoy the compilation and feel inspired after listening.
Thank you to my brave guests, who brought their vulnerability to the episode and to those who helped me recruit guests. I appreciate your continued support. You can learn more about my guests in the show notes under the podcast.
