On this episode, I reminisce about my podcast journey and the amazing guests and support we’ve had over nearly 5 years and 100 episodes, along with the global reach of the Milspouse Matters podcast. During this time, I’ve also juggled family life, run multiple podcasts, and kept a full-time job from home.
Looking Back and Looking Ahead
- Discussing the challenges and breaks necessary due to COVID-19, family tragedies, and other life events.
- I’ve received so much amazing help from friends and podcast pros Lana and Tara, and now my daughter Anna who is working on some behind-the-scenes projects.
- I encourage potential podcasters to take the leap, despite the work it takes to keep a podcast running.
- Future plans: Introducing more guests, changing the format, and always focusing on encouraging and supporting military spouses.
- Watch my social media in the coming weeks as I profile the past amazing guests who’ve brought so much expertise, knowledge, and support to other military spouses.
As always, I invite your feedback and topic suggestions, and I would be so grateful if you left a 5-star review on your favorite podcast app to help support the show.
I couldn’t do this without you, dear listeners, and I am forever grateful for YOU.
And remember….you are brave, you are strong, and you’ve got this.
Happy 100 episodes!
