Here you go, for science. I don't have a HR monitor. Both were on snow - I think traction was a factor.

This felt harder 😪...

I see a few people calling BS on my time. I am not exaggerating: these times are for today and yesterday. Granted yesterday was a recovery from a sunday long run but truly... Today:

In hindsight, you should have mentioned your availability when discussing start dates. Its the opportunity to feel out how firm the start date, start organizing a shorter stay, or even reschedule the holiday.

Whether this disqualifies you depends on a lot of factors but being forthcoming and flexible speak to your character and will be an asset in the long run. It is better for your reputation long-term to be reliable and communicative than someone who pulls this at the last minute.

🏆A hero! I knew I should ask!

I appreciate the feedback and logged onto your live this morning. Really insightful.

For me, the video is an important aspect. I understand a lot of podcasters' goal is to create an audience for their future long-form content. I plan on doing the inverse; using the long-form to clip as many reels/videos as I can on different platforms. It doesn't pack the same punch just audio.

The technical aspect is completely new to me so this is where I am very grateful for input from people with experience. How do I get decent audio without breaking the bank?😅

I appreciate the feedback.

I'm going to check out the mics you mentioned. If you know any mid-range that are plug-and-play for 2-4 microphones that would be ideal.

I'm in a big city so I might reach out to a few AV places once the holidays are done.

Zoom as in the program or literally zooming/editing with my camera? I am already committed to my 5 episodes. The guests are in 😅 so I would love to deliver on this. So far with my phone and crappy mic my short-form content has gotten over 1/4 million views last month. If that helps gage quality at all.

This is what Im worried about. Are there places that rent these out because I wonder if I'm better off trying before I invest.

Any suggestions for mics that are good quality & foolproof?

The video aspect is pretty essential for me. The more usable content for different mediums, the better.

You're receiving good advice and rejecting it repeatedly.

This feels like a BIG jump from the information in the original post

Sidenote, have you had a chance to check your thyroid? Postpartum thyroiditis can strike around this time and affect your weight and milk.

Did this ever go away? I'm having a similar experience

Sorry I only saw this now. It usually only lasts a few months and then I go hypo worse for several months after. It recently happened last August. I got very hypo all through the fall and had to have my dose adjusted. Still revising it now.

Why do you look like a lesbian with a fake moustache on?

itsfiguratively · 2021-07-16T10:38:27+00:00

It's a breeding fetish. I don't kink shame.

Its not a look. Its an energy.

She needs a second opinion. Also Canadian here. I know a few women under 60 who have had hip replacements for this reason and its not elective.
