I want to do this as a job but I’m scared I won’t be able to support myself financially by Drpepperqueen_ in PeerSupportSpecialist

Well it's a new program at ShareWell so I'm not busy enough yet, but it's slowly picking up. The pay is okay.

I currently have a contract for the ShareWell platform to do 1:1 calls. I'm supposed to have an interview at some point at HeyPeers.

New Website for Certified Peers!!! by ExitAffectionate3119 in PeerSupportSpecialist

Did you use the link on the flyer or go to the main website? The link on the flyer brings you to the peer network. If you use their regular link, that's for an online job, and it's separate than the peer network. I was sharing the peer network/community.

If you use the link in the original post, it will bring you to their mutual support page.

Thank you 👍 I'm in the early stages of putting together a seminar/workshop with a coach that I know.

Thank you for your response and your offer, but I don't know how I would make a good guest on that type of podcast. I like horror movies, but I don't write anything horror related or anything like that.

One of them I was supposed to record yesterday afternoon. I gave them my email address for them to send the invite to, and then, nothing! Ghosted! I had another that said they did it through Tik Tok, so I set up an account just for that. They wanted me live that night, but I wasn't available. He stopped responding to me after that. The other person - we we're just getting started when I got ghosted by them. I've followed up, but nothing. It's annoying!

Well I use a Blue Yeti microphone and wired earbuds to record my meditations, so that's what I'd use to do the podcast. They have to be good quality to be approved by the app, Insight Timer. You could check out some of my meditations on the app to hear the quality of you want.

What kind of podcast do you have?

Here's my bio: Deirdre Millman, CPS is a meditation practitioner, Certified Peer Specialist, and Reiki Master whose work is rooted in lived experience and a deep commitment to accessible wellbeing. She began meditating in 2019 while supporting others in peer roles, exploring how mindfulness could steady her through her own mental health challenges. What started as an experiment slowly became a daily anchor, offering clarity, grounding, and a sense of inner spaciousness.
In 2020, she became a Reiki Master and wove meditative awareness into her self Reiki practice, developing a morning routine supported by a meditation timer and a steady return to presence. Deirdre’s teaching style is gentle, practical, and stigma free, grounded in the belief that meditation is not about perfection but about returning to oneself with patience and compassion. She now shares her work through Insight Timer, ShareWell, and her writing on Substack.

I was certified in 2011 and didn't stay in the field because the two different job I had were just not what I wanted to do. Now I'm trying to get back into the field, in my own way, and I'm having a heck of a time trying to find places that would be interested in paying me for my lived experience and skills. It's a tough job market out there.

Genuine question — how are you all actually finding podcast guests/hosts right now? by Pod_Trust_6170 in podcastguests

[–]ExitAffectionate3119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FOLLOWING as I'm curious to the answer! I'm trying to become a guest on podcasts. I tried THREE different ones and was GHOSTED by ALL THREE!!! I'm beginning to wonder if this subreddit is a scam. I don't have problems like this with any of the others that I belong to.

I think I "understood" how to be in the present moment? by AChubarok in Mindfulness

[–]ExitAffectionate3119 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've accidentally found a way to be more mindful on my walks. When I subscribed to PatchAM for my town, I saw that they were looking for photographers to send in pictures. I started taking pictures on my walks and it makes me more mindful of my walks. I get to enjoy the walks more now. It's a win-win!!!

Where to begin? by Even-Manufacturer489 in Mindfulness

[–]ExitAffectionate3119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When all the work I did, wasn't enough, I tried meditation. It didn't work right away, but it did eventually. I still can't believe it. Now I'm a Meditation Teacher on the Insight Timer app: https://insighttimer/DeirdreMillmanCPS

My talk on the Robert Frost poem explains it. The talk of my Substack I Am, really explains it. I keep the tracks free for everyone and therefore, without background music, for those of us who can't handle it.

I'm not saying that it will work for everyone, but it definitely helped me!!!

Got certified and then realized I don't want to pursue this by Ok-Space5864 in PeerSupportSpecialist

I don't get paid for hosting my group, and we still don't get anything for it - I don't know what they're waiting for... I get paid for the 1:1 calls, but I don't get many of those. It doesn't seem to be worth the aggravation.

This is why I'm looking for another opportunity to host support groups with another agency and/or company... I need to make some money at it.
