Send me a message via text or voicemail!

🎙️  Episode Summary:

This week’s bonus episode is a behind-the-scenes look at how I started Hidden Chapters. From the equipment I use to the platforms that keep everything running, I walk you through my real setup and what works for me.

But this episode is not just about microphones and software.

It’s about connection.

I share how honest conversations have created unexpected reconnections with former students, old friends, and new guests. I talk about the ripple effect of storytelling and how one shared story can quietly inspire someone else to speak up.

If you’re curious about starting a podcast or you simply want a behind the mic look at how stories create connection, this episode is for you.

💡 In this episode you’ll hear about:

This podcast is not just me talking. It’s a conversation.
