I also love that podcast and have found it very comforting. Personally I don't find it hard to admit my failures briefly as I go along, but I find it hard to share writing about things I haven't fully (or at least mostly) processed. I prefer to feel like I'm on the other side before it's out for 'public consumption' and the inevitable onslaught of opinions it brings. I love how pragmatic you've been about your own 'failures' and am sure you'll be turning a profit soon!
Hi Emma , lovely to connect. That’s so great to hear you feel some level of comfort talking about failures while you’re in the thick of it. I find on here people find comfort in real stories as they are happening but I can imagine other platforms are not as kind. And thank you. Fingers crossed :-)
I've mostly been on instagram until now and it's been kind enough to me (well the algortithm hates me but 'my people' are the best!), I gave up on Facebook in 2020 (too many 'friends' showing their true colours) and Twitter terrifies me! This is the only space, aside form my own website, where I feel comfortable sharing at my usual (pretty much no filter) level of vulnerability!
