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 forward slash podcasters to get started.

Hey everybody, this is Heidi St. John. Welcome to the Busy Mom Podcast. I know how you guys

are feeling because school has started, and you're wondering what in the world you got

yourself into. I really appreciate the email I got from Janna last week telling me how

she'd been home, she's going for 15 minutes, and she decided it wasn't for her, and she quit.

So I appreciate that. I also appreciated the follow-up letter that she felt like maybe

just a couple days off was better than quitting entirely. So that's what she did. So I know

a lot of you are just kind of singing the back to school blues. Some of you are having

really easy time at it. Some of you got your kids in school and you're heading up the

PTA and running the carpool. So I just want to give a shout out to all the busy moms who

are listening to this. I think you're going to be really encouraged by today's podcast.

I have a friend on with me today. You guys know that I do this about once every other week

or so. Try to bring somebody on who I know is going to just encourage you and bless your

socks off. And that is true of today's podcast as well. My friend, Kristen Welch is here.
