If you've been waiting for a new episode of TGAWG, this is the one to hear! In October of 2021, I attended She Podcasts Live, a conference for women and  non-binary podcasters. At that event, I ran into a couple of women I knew through work we had done with Elsie Escobar, one of the She Podcast founders. They were sitting around a table outside the pool area and immediately, we just started talking about the podcasting industry and creativity and a variety of other professional and personal topics. 

15 months later, we're still having conversations sparked by that weekend in Scottsdale, Arizona. Jen Edds and Marion Abrams have become friends, confidants, creative sounding boards, truth tellers... They've brought so much to my life. And my favorite part? They're not afraid to hold me accountable.

That is one of the themes for 2023 for me -- personal accountability, something I used to struggle with.  BTW If this is something you struggle with, I am working on creating a small accountability group in the coming weeks. Email me if you want to learn more!
