Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:06):
Hi and welcome to a brand new episode of Podcast
your Story.
I am your host, dr Julie MortyPearson, and I am so excited to
be back.
I started this podcast wellover a year ago probably a year
and a half now and I've recordedamazing interviews with so many

(00:28):
different inspiring femalepodcasters since then, but I
haven't put out a new episode inat least a year.
You know, when I started thispodcast, it was because at the
same time, I had completelyshifted my business from career
coaching to podcast coaching.
What does that mean?
I help women, just like you,become awesome podcast guests or

(00:51):
start their own show, just likeI did almost four years ago
with the story of my past.
So I paused it after sixepisodes because I realized that
not everybody was here tolisten, because they want to
start a podcast For one.
Listeners want to be inspiredby my friends, my fellow

(01:14):
podcasters journey in podcasting, why they started, what they're
doing with it and how it haschanged their life.
Because every woman I have metwho has started a podcast, it
has changed their life.
So I paused and decided toreally get a sense of what
people needed, especially women,in podcasting.
Was it guesting, was itlaunching?

(01:36):
Was it growing?
Was it monetization?
What I found is it's all of theabove and I can attest to that.
I'm working on all those areasin my business and my podcasts.
But I wanted to pause because Ireally wanted to get an idea of
what I was doing with mybusiness in podcasting.
So Podcast your StoryProductions has had an evolution

(01:59):
.
It includes a lot of differentthings, including this podcast,
my original podcast, which stillexists the Story of my Pet.
It also includes my community,the Women's Podcaster Party,
where I host networking eventsevery month, and it also
includes the brand new Podcastyour Story community membership.

(02:22):
I'm super excited about that.
It's a very low-cost membershipto become a part of, to get
more of my coaching in groupsand one-on-one, as well as more
hands-on workshops, moreaccountability time, more
co-working space and morepractice.
I have so many women asking mehow do I start being a guest?

(02:43):
I don't even know how to beprepared to interview, to be
interviewed.
I also have friends who arepodcasters that need help with
being good interviewers.
So there's all these things Ihave learned over the last year
and a half that I am ready tocome back, bring it to you,
share what I've learned, sharehow I've grown and support you

(03:03):
in being a podcaster too,whether that's a podcast host of
your own show, whether that's apodcast guest, being strategic
about which podcast you guest on, whether you're a speaker and
want to get into podcasting,whether you have a podcast and
want to grow all of the aboveYou're going to learn from me
and all of my amazing friendsand fellow podcasters, and I'm

(03:27):
very excited to start back witha big one, a big one for me.
This is someone who I found herpodcast.
I listened, I loved it, I dovein, I kept listening, I started
following her on social.
I was engaging with her and oneday I said I'm just going to

(03:48):
ask her to be on my podcast.
So on Instagram, I believe, IDMed Madison.
I said hey, I love your podcast, I love what you're doing, I
would love to have you come onmy podcast.
And she said, yes, this is thepower of podcasting.
You know.
Now I will say, since I'verecorded this, madison has blown

(04:08):
up even more and I willdefinitely be asking if she can
come back for a follow up foryou guys because, wow, she has
made some incredibleaccomplishments.
Yes, so please check out thenext episode of Podcast your
Story, where I will be sharingmy interview with Madison McKee
of Ice Cold Case, and I meanit's silly.

(04:31):
We're all podcasters but we'reall doing it for different
reasons.
We're all in front of differentaudiences for different reasons

(04:52):
.
So many different things.
But my next episode after thatis with someone I do consider a
friend, even though we've onlytechnically met virtually once,
and that is Melissa.
She is known as your beachtherapist.
If you're a Bravo fan, you knowwhat that means.
But I talked to Melissa aboutsome pretty serious topics.

(05:14):
We also have some fun, I think.
Kind of very similarly, I'mputting Madison and Melissa out
around the same time because Ithink both of what they're doing
is a heavy big topic Madisonwith a true crime podcast about
her father's unsolved murder,and Melissa, who is a licensed

(05:35):
therapist, a cancer, severaltime cancer survivor, and she,
even though her podcast is aboutBravo reality shows I mean
reality shows, not all Bravo,but reality shows.
She kind of does this therapistbreakdown of all of your
favorite reality shows, which iswhy I love her and why I

(05:56):
started following her on AmyPhillips' Drama Darling podcast
also an amazing pop culture andreality show-based podcast and
through learning about her,following her and then now
listening to her own podcast.

(06:16):
Melissa really touches on somany important topics when it
comes to both mental health butalso women and women's health,
and so I asked her to be on thepodcast because at the time of
when I recorded my interviewwith her, I had lost a friend, a
fellow podcaster, manypodcaster, amazing voice story,

(06:49):
all the things and unfortunatelyshe passed away in the fall of
2024 from her cancer that afterfive years had come back in,
metastasized, and it was reallyhard for me.
I always like to say I didn'tknow her well, but you know how
many of you know people viasocial media, via Zoom, via

(07:12):
podcasting, whatever it is youdo that you may have never
physically been in a room withsomeone, but you still consider
them a friend, and that wasRebecca, and that was anyone
that's ever met Rebecca.
Everyone was her friend themoment you met her.
I was very lucky to haveactually gotten to hung out with
her in person at PodFest 2024,at which there was an award

(07:33):
ceremony for women in podcastingand I was nominated, thank you.
Many of my friends were andRebecca was, and she had
actually also been nominated forPeople's Choice, and Rebecca
was, and she had actually alsobeen nominated for People's
Choice, which she very openlyand happily shared with people
and got people to vote for herand she won and it was electric.

(07:55):
It was such an amazingexperience to be in the room
with her, be in the room with somany of my podcaster friends I
had never met in person before,be in a room full of women and
non-binary podcasters winningawards and celebrating each
other, and it was just anamazing experience, so much so
that myself and Rebecca and someother fellow podcasters shout
out to Ina Coveney and JosieFalcone.

(08:17):
The four of us decided to submitto do a panel at this year 2025
PodFest.
We did and we got accepted.
Year 2025 PodFest we did and wegot accepted.
And the day we found out we gotaccepted, we also found out
Rebecca had passed away.
I haven't talked about that fora while.
So through that process ofmourning her and talking to

(08:40):
friends and all of us who weremourning her, we did virtual
space for each other to shareand kind of celebrate her.
There was a in-person funeral,but it was on the East Coast and
I wasn't able to go, so it wasjust a lot.
She was my age and it wassudden in the end.
We knew it was possible, but itjust happened really quickly

(09:01):
and she was that person thateverybody thought was going to
make it.
So I had reached out to Melissa,knowing not only was she a
therapist but a cancer survivor,and I said I really want to
talk about this and talk abouthow podcasting can help with it,
but also just people out therewho have a friend going through
something how do you help them?
And so, very graciously,melissa agreed to be on my

(09:22):
podcast and I recorded aninterview with her talking about
that as well as many otherthings and her journey in
podcasting.
So that will be the nextepisode coming out after
Madison's and I know that youare really going to enjoy that
too.
Maybe a little emotional formyself to relive and edit that,
but I am and I will, and I hopeit helps someone else out there

(09:45):
feeling a little alone orstruggling with their own health
issues or a friend's or afamily member's.
You know, what I have foundthrough podcasting is women.
Supporting women is not justlike a flippant statement.
Us sharing our stories connectsus to other women.
Us sharing our stories helpsother women.
Us sharing our story helps usby being connected to other

(10:07):
women, and so that's what thispodcast is all about, and I
cannot wait to share thatepisode with you as well.
So the podcast is back andbetter than ever, and I am so
excited to share all of theseamazing women that I've met
through podcasting, and I knowyou're going to enjoy Madison's
episode, I know you're going toenjoy Melissa's, and there are

(10:28):
many, many more to come.
Thank you for being with me,for sticking with me, for coming
back as I come back to thepodcast and share my own stories
as well as many others.
This is a labor of love for me,but it's also a business, and I
really, really want to connectwith more people like you, and I
want to share what I've learnedso that I can help you podcast

(10:50):
