The Tea: I Broke Up With My Own Production Team

I wasn't going to post an episode this week.But then I let go of my production company (the team I hired to help me figure out what I was doing), and I figured you deserved to know why.For a year and a half, I've been outsourcing the one thing I started this show to do: tell my own story, my own way. Somewhere between "your hooks need to be stronger" and "should you bring on guests," I lost my own voice. So this week, for the first time ever, I'm doing Small Talk with Sheila completely by myself. No team. No polish. No intro music. Just me, some lights I set up an hour before filming, and a lot of nerves.By the end of this episode, you're going to know exactly why I let go of my own production team, and what I'm choosing instead.✨ We talk:- Why I hired three production companies in a year and a half, and let them all go- The breakup metaphor that finally explained what "losing my voice" actually felt like- "Choosing Sheila," the six-month experiment I can't stop thinking about- The one note every person has given me, and what it actually requires💌 Let's keep the conversation going:Have you ever lost your own voice trying to get everything "right"? I want to hear it. Drop it in the comments. Guests or no guests? Should I actually do Choosing Sheila?
