About this episode

Since the hit of COVID-19, I got used to staying at home and I started feeling like a homebody who would never leave her crib. That’s why I decided to start a new project which is launching this podcast. It seems scary, right? Do you think it will take blood, sweat, and tears to complete this project? I hope it won’t. To be honest, I feel like a cat on a hot tin roof because I have a lot on my plate right now. I have my full-time job, I need to take care of my partner, clean my house, and eventually create content for every episode. But, hey don’t worry I’ll break the ice and I’ll muddle through by narrowing down my task load so I can get on with this work. However, the best part is that I am not a luddite. I love technology and I get my jollies from doing this. And I know that everything will be hunky-dory. Also, not to blow my own trumpet, but I think I will do a great job and I hope not to mess things up here and I won’t let you down.
