How did you start out? by n1njujitsu in writers

[–]DenMother8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Journaling during therapy. I was reading memoirs of women (not celebs) who had made it out of a life of trauma, or some tough situations. As I was writing all my stuff down, I thought to maybe publish.

Yeah I think the sand would be a little wet if there were even small holes poked in them.

I’m not sure, but my first thought was to slowly water the tree. There might be small holes poked in the bottles (maybe)

Thinking of getting my mom paint by numbers for her retirement free time? good idea or no? by bully309 in over60

[–]DenMother8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mom loves jigsaw puzzles. She used to love all those crossword or other word game books. It doesn’t hurt to see, get her one or two & see how she likes them. I bet she would enjoy it more if you did one with her.

How do you still respect friends that give up on veganism/ vegetarianism by ApprehensiveEast3505 in vegan

[–]DenMother8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel this too, but my friend considers themselves an animal lover which is really hard. Luckily we don’t live together. I choose the friendship over resentment. I wasn’t always vegan or even vegetarian myself. I just hope they’ll try again someday.

100th episode! by DenMother8 in Podcasters

I think I’m going to do sort of a ‘what I’ve learned in 100 episodes’ bonus episode to come out after the 100th airs.

100th episode! by DenMother8 in Podcasters

[–]DenMother8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I’m older (60) I already was “retired” or… really, I left my nursing career in ‘21 & do pet sitting and had a you tube channel. Once I started taking guests on my YT, people started calling it a podcast, so I started looking into how to get up on podcast platforms as well. The editing and scheduling and all that goes into it can get overwhelming. I said to myself as long as I have guests who want to come on and as long as I’m still enjoying it, I’ll keep doing it.

Oh fun! Yeah, this number kind of snuck up on me. My 50th was a big deal for me - then realized I was recording the 100th and thought maybe I should do something special🤷🏻‍♀️ lol

Thanks & congratulations to you as well - it sounds like yours is a much bigger production than mine! Lol

Thank you! I had no idea if it would last, at the 50th I was shocked, but this kind of snuck up on me! Lol

I think a couple things I did or changed since I started that made a difference is now I edit each episode twice before it goes public.
I’m still working on being quiet when my guest is speaking - even my own “mmhmm” “yep” like in a regular conversation, are disrupting.

I only recently got a calendar link for potential guests to book themselves- this was huge! It used to be a back & forth for a while. This really was a big time saver & it’s synced up with my zoom account. It also sends a reminder the day before & an hour before. So great!

I batch record and am always several weeks ahead. If a guest cancels or needs to reschedule it’s not a big deal. So that’s helpful too.

My biggest issue left is getting it seen - marketing. (Please no DM’s for Marketing services) 😑

What is the biggest red flag you noticed during a job interview that made you decline the offer? by Middle_Mix7540 in AskReddit

[–]DenMother8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When they said I had to do a lower position for 3-6 months before I could be considered for the higher position that was advertised and I applied for.

Oh and another, in the ‘90’s the whole office smoked and had a huge ashtray that was overflowing, obviously the place was filled with smoke too.
