What Holds Me Back From Starting?

from Same, friend! · host Jen Vrooman

I'd love to hear from you! This podcast has been a dream for years! If you're anything like me, what holds me back from my first try of anything is ME. I'm my biggest obstacle. I talk myself out of courage with self-shame: "I don't have the right recording equipment, I don't know how to edit, I don't understand technology, I have a broken laptop, does my microphone even work, and who will want to listen anyway?"  A wise friend once told me to start with what I have. So, here I am. I can't wait another day, because I'll think of another reason not to. Come and listen to Same, Friend! A podcast that talks about all of life: the good, the bad, and the ugly. Each time, I hope you feel more human and less alone.
