Welcome to the 10 Things to Tell You podcast. I'm Laura Tremaine. I always have at least 10 things to tell you,

and you have 10 things to tell. This is a show where we believe

that sharing yourself will make you less lonely. Ten years ago this month, one of my oldest and

dearest friends Meg Tietz started a podcast called Sorta Awesome. Meg was and is a pioneer in so many online

spaces, including in podcasting, and when she asked me to be a co-host on Sorta Awesome, I had no

idea that it was a project that would change my life in so many ways, right up to and beyond this very moment,

a decade later, as I am still on the microphone with you.

I stepped away from being a regular co-host on Sort of Awesome in 2017, and after many

wonderful years and episodes and memories and culture-changing conversations,

Meg brought Sort of Awesome to a close in 2023.

But one of the things I always loved about that show and that I hope that I have brought

to 10 Things to Tell You is the ability to be introspective without navel gazing, to evolve and grow without the

betrayal of self, and to share stories and thought processes as a way for the listener to dig

deeper in their own inner lives. This is the collective energy that changes

the world. And so as Meg Teets and I talk about the way we've each changed in the last 10 years

in our home life and in our careers and in our spirituality, I hope that you too

think about the changes in these areas in your own life, the changes that you have made,

the changes that were made for you, and the changes that you couldn't even see or feel

until something was different.

This is my favorite type of exercise.

It is my favorite type of conversation and episode.

This is the very core of 10 Things to Tell You.
