Can you imagine chasing your podcast dreams only to face setbacks and misaligned partnerships at every turn? That's exactly what happened on my path to launching The Napkin In Between Podcast. After four attempts to find the perfect co-host, ranging from a model in New York who couldn't sidestep her busy schedule to a friend in Atlanta with contrasting podcast visions, I finally embraced the solo route. Join me as I share my journey of trials and triumphs, and how each experience nudged me closer to the realization that my voice deserved to stand alone. Through candid reflections and humorous anecdotes, you'll learn why this solo endeavor feels like the right choice.
Navigating the podcasting world isn't just about finding the right equipment—though the sticker shock was real—but also about aligning creative visions and commitments. In this episode, I recount the rollercoaster ride of potential partnerships, the allure of viral topics like dating and astrology, and how those experiences ultimately led me to take the leap into solo hosting. With a growing TikTok presence and invaluable advice from friends, my determination to pursue this dream has only intensified. Tune in for a heartfelt exploration of embracing creative control and making my podcasting dreams a reality, despite the obstacles along the way.
