My first interview in my first podcast 😬

Recently, I was asked to do an impromptu podcast.

Initially, my perfectionism and imposter syndrome said, “Ummm….can I please have a week to prepare for the podcast?” 🤔

Kathryn Erikson, a fellow writer from Substack, and I were meeting for the first time on zoom to chat and get to know each other as a result of supporting each other’s work on Substack via the comments section in our newsletters.

During our conversation, Kathryn, asked me to do a podcast right then and there. After some hesitation and reluctance, I decided to go ahead and say “Yes!”

I pushed through my perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and fear of being seen and did something new and out of my comfort zone, which the old version of me would never have done.

I am so happy I did because I had a blast talking with Kathryn about topics I love talking about such as being in the present moment, our authentic selves, and abundance!

If you want to listen to me pushing through my fears, here is a link to the podcast: https://kathryneriksen.substack.com/p/who-are-you-being#details

By the way, on this podcast is the first time I’ve revealed my name on Substack as I write as the Lotus Empress. As a result, I pushed through another fear of putting my real name out there!

So, for those of us wondering if we can move through the fear of being seen, the answer is an absolute YES!! You can do it too!! Just start and take the leap! ❤️
