She now hosts The Collide Kids Podcast (which just surpassed the 100 episode milestone) where she gets to interview all sorts of fun and interesting people with all sorts of fun and interesting occupations all for the sake of helping kids explore their God-given talents and how they can use them to make an impact in the world.

You want to start a podcast but you struggle with confidence behind a mic or in front of a camera. You're not sure anyone will take you seriously. You're worried about how you'll get through an entire episode without a mistake. You're not alone...

Those are common fears among new content creators and podcasters. To be honest, many of us veterans still struggle them. But the good news is that there are some things you can do to build your confidence as you go and in this episode I'll share four that have helped me become a more confident creator. 

You can hear more of my story in this episode of I Am This Age with Molly Sider who was a recent guest on this show (episode 17).

Molly Sider hosts I Am This Age, a podcast full of stories and interviews with individuals who, sometime after 40 years old, chose to pursue the things they've always wanted. She is also a storyteller, a life coach and the founder of a podcast production company called Jellyfish Industries.

In today's conversation she shares how her podcasting journey began when she recorded her first episode in 2019 and was suddenly struck by fear and anxiety which prevented her from releasing it for another year and a half. But once she did, she says she was blown away by the response. I think you will be as well.

I was honored to be a guest on Molly's podcast as well. If you are interested in hearing my story of changing directions at 43 years old, you can catch that episode here.
