100 Episodes Later: Dropping the Mic & Leaning Into What Feels Right

100 episodes. Five years. Countless conversations about the power of music. During this personal and honest milestone episode, I reflect on my journey with Living on the B Side—the moments that moved me (to tears even!), the struggles I faced, and the lessons I have learned along the way.I open up about the journey between passion and promotion, why turning this podcast into a business hasn’t felt right and hasn’t taken off so far, and the exhaustion of trying to fit into the traditional podcasting mould. After much reflection, I have made a big decision: this will be my last solo episode. From here on, I will focus on 1 on 1 conversation only, which I realised is me choosing joy over pressure, connection over numbers, and the freedom to create on my own terms.If you’ve ever wrestled with the balance between following your passion and the expectations that come with it, this episode is for you. Let’s embrace the B-Side of life—where the real magic happens. 💙=====================Subscribe and listen to the Living on the B Side Podcast HERE:=====================👉 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@livingonthebside👉 Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/living-on-the-b-side/id1548622108 👉 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7ajiDp7FzS6FbWn3odD2Ri =====================Here are ways to connect with me at Living on the B Side:=====================🎙️ For becoming a possible guest on my podcast, register your interest here: https://forms.gle/XLyXrwzt9jZ5S4Hp6🎙️ For collaborations and other inquiries, please go to: https://livingonthebside.com/contact-us/ 🎙️ Support my podcast to keep the episodes flowing: https://ko-fi.com/livingonthebside=====================Connect with me on social media!=====================Website: ➡️www.livingonthebside.com FB page ➡️ www.facebook.com/livingonthebside IG➡️ www.instagram.com/livingonthebside/ ⏰ Timecodes ⏰ 0:00 Reflecting on 100 Episodes 3:13 Personal Stories and Impact of Music 6:07 Challenges and Struggles in Podcasting 11:03 Future Directions and Focus 18:02 Final Thoughts and Gratitude =====================#LivingontheBSide #powerofmusic #musicpodcast=====================About this podcast:Living on the B Side is a music podcast that showcases the power of music through people sharing their experiences with music and its impact in their lives.
