Episode notes
Humble First Recordings
- Cathy started recording her podcast when her youngest was a month old and launched in January 2017 after batch recording episodes.
- She began in a closet on a laptop, struggled through multiple takes and lost her voice, then persisted and posted imperfectly.
Voice Lost, Then Permission To Post
- Cathy paused repeatedly during early recordings, faced a fire-truck interruption, and ultimately lost her voice for a period.
- A friend encouraged her to post imperfectly, which unlocked her ability to publish and continue.
Batch Record Before Launch
- Batch record 10–12 episodes before launching so you have time to produce consistently after going live.
- Use that buffer to avoid pressure and record future episodes leisurely while the initial ones publish.
