The Story of How I Started a Podcast
I’m writing this on June 25, 2025, which means the story I share was exactly one year ago.
This is the story of how I started a podcast.
This photo is from exactly one year ago - June 25, 2024.
My friends Erin and Christel are Enneagram enthusiasts, & we connected during an Enneagram class at church. We were hanging out last summer and they mentioned their dream of doing a podcast together. I also had a dream of making an Enneagram podcast.
And here we must give a shout-out to our local library, because without our library's audio studio, I'm not sure this idea would have moved forward. We said, what the heck, let's record a podcast together just for fun, and see how it goes. The Laporte Library Exchange has a great studio setup that makes ya feel very legit!
We recorded for about three hours that first day. We loved it. We can always talk about the Enneagram for three hours at a time!
While I was editing the audio later that week, I felt a confidence grow inside me, "I could actually do this, for real." And there's so much to love listening to Erin and Christel telling stories about the Enneagram and their friendship.
After two months of thinking it over I did indeed decide to Go For It and make a real podcast, and was completely spurred on by these two ladies' cheering. Truly this would not have happened without Erin and Christel - you two will always be part of this story.
So TOMORROW (and no, we did NOT plan this) the three of us are heading back into the studio to record again! Almost a year to the day later.
What is the Enneagram?
This upcoming podcast series, What is the Enneagram? features an interview with one guest of each type, and c'mon I had to have Erin for the Type 2 episode and Christel for the Type 6.
It’s very exciting to look back over the past year and remember all the guests that had deep, rich conversations with me, all for the sake of learning through the Enneagram. Series 2 will be smashing into the Internet this fall.
