The itch to recreate a new self and sit all goals on the table with the timeline of 2019 is strong and a bit stressful.

The 1st Trailer for My Podcast .
Lets start with YAY it got done. There were some awesome advice and blogs that helped me but I have posted a few things I thought were important and I didn’t find warning or advice making the suggestion. Find a tutorial on how to work your recording software. If there is a tutorial that comes with the software. TAKE ADVANTAGE. Some of you may be laughing right now, thinking ” DUH Nikki “.
