17+
years in the podcast industry
I began podcasting in May 2008, using a Sony Playstion Mic for my first podcast episode. Yes, it’s true! 17 years later (and a mic upgrade), I am still at it!
30+
podcast series produced
And thousands of episodes! Some of my earlier productions include health and non-profit podcasts. As well as, business and marketing. Today, personal development, women’s empowerment, parenting, and creativity are my passions. So if that’s you, let’s make magic together, in a Glinda the Good Witch way.
40k+
hours editing podcasts
The 10,000-Hour Rule claims the best way to develop expert skills is to have at least 10,000 hours of experience using the skill. When I calculated the numbers, I was astonished to learn I surpassed that (yes, I still get imposter syndrome at times).
