Hey guys, it's summertime. It's the perfect time to create your own podcast. Spotify has

a platform that lets you make one really easily, and you can distribute it everywhere and

even earn money all in one place for free. It's called Spotify for podcasters, and here's

how it works. Spotify for podcasters lets you record and edit podcasts right from your

phone or computer, and so no matter what your setup is like, you can start creating today,

and then Spotify will distribute your podcast everywhere that podcasts are available.

And best of all, it's free with no catch. So if you've got a message to get out and

some time to begin, I highly recommend you give it a try. Download the Spotify for podcasters

app or go to Spotify.com for its such podcasters to get started.

mom. You know, I have seven children. Many of you have heard me speak before, and I was

just telling my husband the other day that I feel like I live in a state of perpetually

disappointing someone. Do you ever feel that way? If I'm not, you know, I'm not, I don't

have enough time or emotional energy for an older child who needs to talk to me. They

think that I was, I'm not being strict enough with the younger kids. The younger kids think
