Why do I Podcast?  Well, you opened it up so sit back and hear my purpose.

When I was 16 and unsure of my teenage self, I took both a Speech and Debate Class and I excelled in both.  It was an awakening to me that I had a quality that I had never identified with and that was COMMUNICATION.

Two years later in 1968 (I have evolved), when I started college, I chose Communications as my degree path and somehow got into all my 300 and 400 level classes and aced them while struggling in the required science, math, and history. My parents were not happy when after my second year I announced I had earned my associate’s degree. In 1970 they felt as if I wasted two years of tuition because there truly were not women in Broadcasting which was my DREAM.

Fast forward in life to 2008 when my youngest son was graduating high school, and I was an Advisor at a For-Profit College.  I saw my son advancing beyond my dreams as well as the students I was advising.  I realized at that time how good I was at my job and how much better I would be if I completed my degree in Communications and advance beyond.  Working full time, being mom and wife and volunteering in various organizations, in 2012, I graduated with honors and within 6 months lost my job at the college.  Feeling lost and abandon by the system, I took my degree to the next level and established myself as a blogger, podcaster, and now a coach.

This is my purpose in life to share my story and those of others to help at least one person who is listening to take the steps to find and achieve their purpose on ‘their’ terms.  Although we are all unique, we have similar needs, wants, and dreams and if we listen and allow ourselves to be mindful, we can take the steps to achievement.

I podcast because it is my purpose to learn and share and evolve into the best version of myself.
