Welcome to the BRAVO series where I am celebrating the brave and courageous podcasters that I have had the privilege to support on their journeys.
And I want to start off with celebrating my own production! Wohooo! My flagship production #impact Podcast has been on air for 6 incredible years.
So and here’s the newsletter I sent out recently to celebrate this milestone.
My dear #impact listeners,
When I pressed publish on the first episode of #impact 6 years ago, I was sitting in a Hong Kong Cafe, with my friend Celia pretty much lovingly screaming in my ear that I should finally publish.
It was an exciting day. And I have so fond memories of this podcast's beginnings, stumbling from one recording to the next.
I met so many wonderful people on this journey. My beautiful guests trusted me - and later also our co-hosts - by sharing their stories.
Although the starting point of our conversations is always the impact they make in their professional lives it often is the moments where they share their personal moments of impact that made the most impression on our listeners.
Because, in the end, it is because of who we are, because of the experiences we made, that we show up the way we do for our professions as well. There’s not one without the other. And my recent experience with the illness and recovery of our daughter showed me that as well.
This episode was recorded back in February, just before our daughter got sick, and meant to be on aired for a long time. Listening back to this episode now, I can hear a lightness in my voice that I am still searching to win back.
And it made me wonder, how light (or heavy) does your voice feel today?
We all carry experiences in us that need healing. And somehow I feels as if it was all meant to be, that for this special anniversary recording I had invited breathwork facilitator extraordinaire, Aigul Safiullina, to teach us how to channel our breath in times of distress. So we can show up more fully for making that impact we want to make - in our professional as well as personal lives.
Of course there was also so much laughing and funny misunderstandings, as can be expected when my brilliant Tyrolian co-host Belinda Esterhammer jumps in to turn the tables on me to find out how my reintegration in my hometown Vienna is going after 13 years abroad in China and how #impact podcast is doing here in Europe.
Punschkrapfen to be precise.
We had our lovely community tune in from across the continents.
And we honoured that #impact has been up and running for 6 incredible years.
Listen in for celebration, reflection and as always, for…
And then I got some lovely replies from my community, thank you so much for all the love and birthday wishes.
In this episode I play you the voice note that hit me BIG TIME and the 2 big learnings from it (one actually inspired THIS VERY BRAVO Series!!)
Come back for more when we get celebrating all the amazing podcasters that are bravely putting their voices out their and will hopefully inspire you to do that too!
