a conversation about starting a podcast and embracing the "cringe"

from Little Miss · host Ryley Gale

On this episode of Little Miss, I’m joined by Hannah and Nicole from the Holding It Together podcast for a real conversation about starting from scratch as small podcasters — and learning to embrace the “cringe” that comes with putting yourself online.We talk about recording before anyone’s listening, posting to tiny audiences, and pushing past the voice in your head that says, “This is embarrassing.” But we also get into the deeper side of creating — how we decide what to share, what to keep private, and how to be vulnerable on episodes without oversharing or losing ourselves.From setting boundaries around personal stories to figuring out why we’ve kept going years after hitting publish for the first time, this episode is for anyone building something from the ground up.If you’ve ever felt awkward, exposed, or unsure while creating — you’re not alone. Sometimes the “cringe” is just the beginning.how to find Holding it Together:Instagram: @holdingitpodTikTok: @holdingitpod
