Rekindle Your Light: Redefining Success and Breaking Cultural Expectations - New Episode
"New" content for you this fine Taco Tuesday
If you’ve been listening to podcasts long enough, you know that sometimes pods will host a “feed swap” where they drop an episode from a friend’s show in lieu of their own. The two podcasts will usually have an overlap in audiences, so it makes sense.
It’s an opportunity to give you, the audience:
a new spin on a similar topic
an introduction to a new show you’ll probably like
a “new” episode where you otherwise wouldn’t be getting one
My dear friend and former guest Ydaiber and I are doing just that. You heard her on the human design episode. Now you get to hear me as a guest on her show, if you weren’t already a subscriber of Rekindle Your Light.
In case you missed it: LVMC is on a hiatus till the end of the year. The Latinas In Podcasting Virtual Summit is in 9 days and producing a conference at the same time as a podcast nearly killed me this summer. So instead of taking a break when I should have, I’m taking it now and immediately after!
