Last December, a friend suggested that Trish Taylor Thompson and I should start a podcast together.
We laughed and we joked about it over Christmas drinks. The festive spirit had us imagining all the things we'd talk about. By the end of the night, we had more ideas than we knew what to do with.
But sure the next morning we’d have forgotten all about it, we'd never actually do it...
Except... we did.
Life's what you make it is now on Episode 16, with over 2,000+ downloads with listeners across Ireland, the UK, the USA and beyond.
What has surprised us most isn't the numbers….. it's the connection and the feedback and that people are still listening!
Some messages said:
"I love it. It's so calm and conversational. I feel like I'm sitting down for tea or coffee with you both."
"Listening to you is like catching up in your kitchen over a cuppa."
"It's a real tonic."
"The spontaneous humour and laughter between you both is just gorgeous."
“It really got me thinking about a lot of things. Most importantly, I need to get out and do more things”.
This feedback means the world to us because that's exactly what we hoped the podcast would feel like... two friends having honest conversations about life after 50, with plenty of laughs along the way.
One week, we even found ourselves sitting in Apple's Top 10 alongside Michelle Obama and Mel Robbins. We had to look twice!
And we're only getting started.
Later this month we'll be sharing some very exciting news that we can't reveal just yet.. but trust me, you'll want to hear it first.
🎧 If you've been meaning to give the podcast a listen, now is the perfect time to start over the summer.
And if you're already enjoying it, could I ask one small favour?
Please follow/subscribe on Apple or Spotify today. Every new subscriber helps more people discover the podcast, and it means you'll be the first to hear our upcoming announcement when it drops.
If you've enjoyed an episode, we'd also love if you could leave a rating or review and share it with someone who might enjoy a good chat over their morning coffee.
Thank you for being part of this adventure. We honestly couldn't do it without you
