Podcast #1--Whew!

powered by ODEO

Okay, I have to say I really do NOT like my voice. I have had issues with hearing my voice on tape for a long time. So it was really difficult to record this podcast and then listen to it. I recorded it 3 times and decided I was done. I could be here all night recording trying to make my voice sound like something it's not. I suppose the reason for me doing this is larger than my insecurities I have with my voice so forward!

This is an introduction to my plans for this podcast and blog. I truly hope this will not only be a documentation of me regaining my independence and learning not to run from my fear but a source of strength, information and inspiration to others dealing with this disorder. I hope I will be an example of one who made friends with the "monster" (anxiety) and as a result emerged victorious. I hope I will help others not be ashamed because they are struggling with anxiety, panic and/or agoraphobia/phobias.

I will do my best to make this as informative, interesting and fun as possible. Please do share any advice and suggestions you may have. And if you would like to be on the show or have me read and discuss your story/experiences let me know. These first few podcasts will be pretty basic but in the future I plan on kicking it up a few notches (background music, guests etc).

Thanks again for reading and listening. Remember May is national mental health month.

Be well and be blessed! :)
