The world lost a beautiful soul on February 14, 2024, Lee Silverstein.
Lee, May you Rest in Paradise. I love you. We love you. Your legacy will live on within my heart & soul and within the PodFest community forever.

Have you ever stumbled across an experience that irrevocably changed the trajectory of your life?

 
I certainly have, and I'm thrilled to share with you the tale of my transformative PodFest 2024 adventure. Winning a Buzzsprout scholarship was just the beginning of a profound journey for me.

I wrap this episode up with lots of gratitude, this episode is a shout-out to the individuals who've touched my journey—like Paula, who leapt from a virtual friend to a real-life bestie. And let's not forget the mentorship of Lee Silverstein, whose encouragement became a cornerstone of my experience.

Special shout-out to Chris Krimitsos for his creation and evolution of PodFest and what we know as "PodFam".

In this episode I also answer who “The Breathing Goddess” is and how I came up with that identity for myself. It was brought to my attention I’ve never directly addressed this.
