I'm Natalie Lou and you're listening to the baggage reclaim sessions.

Hello hello. How are you doing?

Recently How are you doing? Recently I made a decision about the podcast that really reminded me about the importance of trying to make our choices from a place of desire instead of obligation.

Let me explain. The baggage reclaim sessions has so far been a weekly

podcast where I then take a big break during the summer and of course a break

around Christmas time and when the kids were on holiday at Easter.

And over the last few months I have started to think about moving from being a weekly

podcast to being a dove into being a weekly podcast and hadn't at the time considered that there could be another way to do it.

I think as well at the time doing weekly podcasts was the way and actually that's probably a

clue that I needed to pay attention to am I doing something because it seems to be the established way of doing it or because

that's actually how I want to do it. Now to be fair it is how I've wanted to do it but but things change. And I was driving along one day listening to my

friend Tiffany Han talking on her podcast, and it was the first time I caught up with her

show for a while,

and I realized that she had switched to being a fortnightly podcast.

And I was like, oh, that's interesting.

And then I forgot about it.

But then this fortnightly thing kept popping back into my head.

And I was like, hmm, this is interesting.

And I share this with you because what I've been through there is something that we all go through in life where we get these flashes of insight where we get a sense that we might want to do something and then it gets

shut down for whatever reason. Like maybe we go, oh no I can't do that, oh no, people will expect, blah blah blah.

Or no, like I have to do it that way or, yeah but what if it all goes wrong?

What if people don't like it? What if this? What if that? So we sit and we sit and we sit on it.
