I started a Podcast. No, wait. I started TWO Podcasts!

I’m practising letting go of perfectionism and just creating and publishing things.

Just before Christmas I started my own podcast and got a sore throat nearly straight away. I knew it was fear of putting myself out there and being visible (or audible – ha!).

But that’s why I want to do it even more. I want to conquer this fear and just keep going.

After three episodes I took a break to focus on other things but I kept the idea in the back of my mind. And I started recording myself when I went on my morning walks, to practise talking freely into a microphone.

And then two days ago my 8 year old son gave me a wonderful idea.

For the last few month my son has been listening to sleep meditations before going to sleep. We’ve been going through all the episodes over the course of last year, some of them more than twice. It’s a lovely Podcast called “Bleib entspannt” (it’s in German).

I was trying to find a few English sleep podcasts for kids but he didn’t want them. He only wants to listen to German meditations at the moment.

Now that we ran out of podcast episodes I had the idea of creating my own sleep meditation podcast in German, my native language.

So before he went to sleep last night I promised him to create the first episode today. Once he was asleep I sat down in front of the fire and started writing frantically.

The next morning I recorded my story and added some music and sound effects.

I love how it turned out.

I already recorded the next episode and Ronan gave me an idea for the third one.

If you understand German or want to listen to a soothing voice babbling in a foreign language (lol) come over and have a listen.
