I park the truck at one end of town and get ready to record as I walk past the shops to the other end.

Podcast Recap

Mortified that I mixed up Canadian listener, Kendra, with New Englander listener, Maddy, during last episode’s walk in Descanso, I make good on my promise to deliver a sunny walk for winter-bound, Kendra by strolling through the charming shopping district of Montrose, California. Then, struck by my feelings of discomfort over the matter, decide to find a nice, quiet spot to podcast about perfectionism. Instead, you get the ring-side seat to the beginnings of a true binge based in frustration, finished off by how I outsmarted those frackin Robot Aliens this time.

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?’
