In this first episode of 2020 we talk about sharing your story, and why the journey you’re on can be the same thing that can impact one life, or millions. Many times we allow the fear of not being ready to override what you’ve been called on to share.

Your story can be wrapped around your artwork, service, product or idea, and I’ll give out three tips to keep perfection paralysis from overtaking you and your dreams.

She’s a voice actor, freelance designer and illustrator, comic book publisher and host of the U-Mind Podcast. We share her journey and how she created her comic book Lost Bread and her two podcast properties the U-Mind Podcast and Creeping Wave Radio.

Both are unique in their own right as she created sometimes fictional guests for her U-Mind Podcast, the other is a horror-themed podcast where she and others play fictional characters in a supernatural world. A comic book for your ears. They currently began season 3 right in time for Halloween.

I gathered some incredible insights from her as she builds her own media company, with the hopes of one day having one of her properties get picked up from a bigger company.
