3 Things this Podcast Provides Me (spoiler alert: it isn't money)

A huge thank-you to the Georgia Straight for ranking the "Voted Least Likely" Podcast as the 3rd best podcast in the BOV 2023 Awards! I am so honoured to have this show recognized. Thank-you to everyone who voted, together we can make others feel less alone on their journey.

My podcast isn’t making me any money: let’s talk about it.

I take the podcast as seriously as my jewellery brand Leah Yard Designs, even though it doesn't support me financially.

It's easy to look at the big podcasters and assume you can start a show and be making millions a month in a short amount of time... but it doesn't happen like that. A lot of the big podcaster's you love, have been doing it for years, or they had influence before starting.

First off– I want to say, if you are thinking about starting a podcast, DO IT. It's been the most fulfilling thing I have done in my business. I started it out of frustration after being rejected and snubbed by another brand, and I wanted to share what I had been going through as a business owner.

I felt alone. Deeply and utterly alone.

And I needed a place, that was 100% mine, that I could show up and voice the difficulties of being a misfit in the fashion industry.

And so thats how it started.

To be honest, money didnt even cross my mind. I never considered doing it to make money.

And if you don’t make money on it, it can be hard to keep up on.

But I've recently had a few opportunities come up that were directly related to being a podcast host, and this made me realize how much this show actually DOES provide me.

So let's talk about it.
