It’s Giving, Mother

I have always wanted to share this side of myself with everyone, and writing this right now has already become one of the happiest, biggest, and scariest moments of my life.

My brand new very first podcast, Mother Time, just officially launched yesterday 2/22/24.

I am so proud of myself for actually doing it, but so scared and nervous for this next chapter of my life.

I’m putting myself out there, and most times I forget. Releasing the first episode was hard, and I’ll tell you, I recorded it 4 different times. I was overthinking everything and I know I will for episode 2 as well.

I’ve always been fascinated by all things outer space and the universe.

My infamous saying as a child was “Do u want to talk about space?” Which, for the most part, always chased my family out of the room with a polite “No thanks, not right now.”

So the fact that I have my very own podcast about these topics, it just all feels like a dream still. I keep saying that, but it’s true.

My very own podcast where I can talk about whatever I want. It’s like, now I can ask the world if they want to talk about space. Plus, I’m not an expert so when it comes to this podcast, there’s no such thing as a stupid question.

I promise I will be asking all the questions, and then answering them all with you. And I also promise, absolutely nothing excites me more.

I feel like one day I woke up and decided that the universe was conspiring on my behalf, and then all of a sudden, it started coming true.

I have been saying I was going to come out with a podcast since 2022. I remember sitting in college classes 2 years ago, contemplating what I should talk about or how I was going to do it.

I’ve recorded episodes and done nothing with them over and over again. I’ve come up with a million different podcast names and directions, but nothing ever stuck. Nothing, not until now. Not until this. Mother Time.

I had been researching the concept of time for my brand when I came across so many videos on Father Time. Before that, I’d never thought of Mother Time as a podcast name, and I don’t think I would have been able to come up with it if it wasn’t for the fact that I was studying Father Time for like 3 days straight.

And it still took me that long to realize the name was right there staring at me. Father Time's image comes from the ancient Roman God of time, Saturn. The ancient Greeks often referred to Saturn as Kronos or Chronos, which means “time."

Truthfully, I never questioned the name. I knew it was right but more importantly, I could finally see it. As soon as Mother Time flashed in my mind, I could finally see myself doing the podcast. Before I just hadn’t.

I wanted to start one but I never knew what I’d talk about or how I’d stay consistent. I knew I had to wait for the right time, and I knew the right time would eventually come.

I had done all the waiting. This was the one, and for it to have gone so smoothly with the brand, even I couldn’t have anticipated how well that all panned out.

So here it is, finally.

It brings me so much joy to say, join me every Thursday to talk about space.

As always, thanks for the mystery, and stay tuned…
