I’m ready to record episode 25 by the dry river bed.

Podcast Recap

I give winter-bound, listener, Maddy a taste of sunny California by podcasting as I walk around part of Descanso Gardens. I’m also inspired by the story of Maddy and Sandy and read a poignant comment of Maddy’s from a past episode.

I forgot my phone to take a selfie this episode, so I decided Gracie, my mama-cat, makes a cute stand-in for a rabbit to go with today’s theme.

Podcast Recap

Feeling insecure, despite my current success, I wander around Descanso Gardens and muse about insecurity, secrecy, magical thinking and try to find ways to get myself back on the emotional track. Shout-out to my new online friend, Shirl!

After a frustrating, though adventurous, day trying to find a quiet podcasting spot at Descanso, I drive over to the mountain trail and find a brand new shady spot across a dry riverbed.

Podcast Recap

I have fun kicking robot alien ass a few days post binge by gaining encouragement from Maddy, Shirl, Vanessa, iTunes reviewer, RSeab2007 and by posting pics and photos of my adventures on Instagram and FB. I find a new podcast spot and wonder, ‘Why is it SO hard to hear good things about yourself?’

Podcast Recap

I ponder how the alien robot got through my defense shield the day after a binge. Then I move on from it while taking an emergency stress stroll through the park. Hooray for Ashley, this was her first 5K today!
