can be tricky, but anchor takes the guesswork out of podcast distribution and gives you

access to huge platforms like Spotify and Apple. So whether you're ready to start your

own podcast or take an existing podcast to the next level, anchor by Spotify is something

you need to check out. Want to know more? Check out anchor.fm today and tell them Heidi

Hey everybody, this is Heidi St. John. Thanks for tuning in today. Today is Monday, January

18th. This is going to be a rough week, I think, but you know what we're going to do

today. We're going to answer listener questions and you guys have a lot of them stick around.

I think you're going to be encouraged.

So thanks for tuning in today. You guys are sending me questions fast and furious for those

of you who are brand new to the Heidi St. John podcast. This is called Off the Bench for

a reason. My goal here is to get you guys off the bench and onto the battlefield off the

sidelines and onto the front lines of the culture. And I like answering your questions

here. We do it usually one day a week, sometimes more depending on what I've got going on.

But you can reach out to me at Heidi St. John dot com forward slash mail box Monday. And

so if you want to leave a question, that's how you do it. You can also do it by going to

anchor. So that's anchor dot fm forward slash Heidi St. John forward slash message. And

you can leave a voice mail there. All right. Today I'm going to talk about your questions.

But before I do that, I want to say thank you to Laura from Suffolk, Virginia, Heather

from Newark, Ohio and Korah from mechanics,burg, Pennsylvania, who is a returning donor. And

she said, Heidi, I can't thank you enough for what you're doing. You encourage me daily
