I’m in the guest chair this week talking about how podcasting helped me figure out what I want to be when I grow up.
Growing up, people often told me I was a good writer and I was fascinated by how people got jobs on TV, so when I learned about the profession of broadcast journalism, I thought the combo of writing and TV was the perfect fit. I pursued a Communications degree in undergrad and had a number of internships for major companies, but I graduated not knowing what I wanted to do with my life.
The quest to determine how best to combine my interests and skills would continue for most of my life.
In the summer of 2015 when I first learned about podcasts things started to take shape. I started contemplating launching my own, and in June 2016 I did just that! I could have never imagined I would be here with Side Hustle Pro a little over three years later. In this episode, I explain how podcasting has allowed me to see how I can use my voice and my experiences to impact others for the better.

0:09.0 | But think about it. Landing among the stars is still pretty damn cool. Who cares if you hit the |
0:15.4 | moon? You can keep reaching for that next year, but you're that much closer to it right |
0:20.0 | now. |
0:22.0 | You're listening to Side Hustle Pro, the podcast that teaches you to build and grow your Side Hustle |

0:32.0 | And I'm your host, Nikala Matthew Zakome. So let's get started. |
0:37.8 | Hey hey guys welcome welcome back to the show what a year it's been already as I am recording this. I'm |
0:46.3 | gearing up for Thanksgiving and Christmas and I'm looking forward to the |
0:49.8 | holiday season, but I'm also feeling very reflective today and so I thought I would just |
0:54.9 | take a chance to do a solo episode and share some of my thoughts. It's Monday |
0:59.8 | November 11th as I'm recording this and just last week I wrote on |
1:04.6 | Instagram if you're not following me there by the way make sure you head over to |
1:08.8 | at site hustle pro and go ahead and follow along because I share a lot of my journey here that doesn't make it to the |
1:14.7 | podcast all the time. So I posted on Instagram that loving myself looks like slowing down and getting quiet enough to hear my thoughts and |
1:26.2 | feelings and unpack them so that is what I've been focusing on this season and |
1:31.8 | usually this time of year can make me feel a little bit frantic, sometimes blue, sometimes |
1:37.9 | sad, let me know if you relate, there's just this big rush to just wrap up the year in a neat tidy little bow and it just always feels like there's so little time. |
1:49.0 | So there's this big rush to make sure you get everything that you wanted to get done done before the year is over. |
1:55.8 | And I don't know about you, but I feel like we tend to beat ourselves up when we realize we didn't |
2:02.4 | accomplish a few things, rather than taking a time to celebrate what we did accomplish. |
