100 episodes! What a milestone. In the beginning, I really wasn't sure what would happen. I knew that I wanted to try podcasting but I had no idea what to expect. However, once I knew that it would be something I would enjoy and that it would be a great way to connect with you, I committed, and here we are two years later!  In this episode, I talk about the whole experience from the start to the present moment. I share my learning curves, my process, and any tips for you - if you are thinking about doing this too. Thanks for joining me on this journey, and here's to another year of the Fearless Practice podcast!  In this Episode: Why I started this podcast  Creating the podcast  The pros and cons   Lessons I have learned  Why I started this podcast  There were many reasons why I was considering doing this podcast:  Would it help my consulting business?  Would I enjoy recording every single week? Finding other like-minded therapists to connect and talk with  Creating the podcast  Once I experimented a little, I knew that I was ready to give it a try! So I:  Took a course in podcasting  Decided on the intro music  Found a sound editor  Hired a designer for the podcast cards  Hired a copywriter to write show notes  In many ways, running this podcast is like a second job. In order for me to publish the podcast episodes that you listen to each Wednesday, the process looks a little like this:  Brainstorming the idea for each episode  Finding counsellors to interview Organizing points for each topic per episode  Recording the podcast either as a solo show or in an interview  Sending the the sound editor the audio  Listening to the podcast myself to make my own edits  Sending the audio to the copywriter for the the show notes to be written Editing the show notes myself Sending quotes and titles to my designer for the cards for the episode  Having the social media manager create posts for the podcast  Sending the final products to my editor to schedule it for publishing  The pros and cons  When I started this podcast I thought it would take maybe an hour or two a week, but as you can see, it's a much longer process!  Despite the long hours and financial investment, I'm so glad that I also get the chance to meet so many great Canadian therapists! And I'm grateful to those who have invested in my work and purchased from my store.  Lessons I have learned  Some of the things I now know about podcasting are that:  It really helps to have a great team around you  You will need to put in effort and energy to make it great  It's going to be an investment so make sure you have money saved up or coming in so that you can make it work  You can create community through a podcast, and it's a wonderful way to connect with other therapists in your area!  On the note of community, I want to know how I can help you so that I can keep creating content that serves your needs.
