Today's episode tells the story of who I am and how I got started in my podcast journey. For many of us, looking back to our childhood can help answer many questions about who we are and what we love. Recently I recalled memories of my 5 year old self when I would record my own "radio shows" as I called them with my 90s cassette tape recorder. Those old tapes housed hours of footage of life as a young child, how to deal with bullies and many other topics a kid would talk about. Fast forward to today, and I've rediscovered who I am through podcasting.

When it comes to following your dreams, we often feel like we need to choose a path that is practical, logical and safe. That may work well for many people, there are definitely accepting for those meant to break the stereotype. Ask yourself, what is the true meaning of these so called guidelines? Words like, safe, practical and logical can mean one thing to one person and something completely different to the next.

Instead of focusing on fitting in a box, we should instead be focusing on discovering our own unique gifts and abilities. Sometimes those gifts don't like like the quote, standard, and that, my friends, is a beautiful thing. Kate Baldock is here to share how she broke through the mould of standard. Two years ago Kate took a leap of faith to follow her calling when she left her job in corporate to pursue her budding career in art. Fast forward to today, Kate continues to create art, grow her business and serve in her community.

Her an her husband, Josh, live in Fargo with their two cats Stella & Ollie. Josh is her best friend and she also could not do what I do without his love and support!
