I started a podcast?!

I cannot believe I am even writing that! But YES! I started my very own Podcast! AND I am OFFICIALLY on ITUNES PODCAST!! Click here for that link!

I have been thinking about starting a podcast for a very long time. I was soooo afraid of what people would say, what would I talk about, do I just talk about one thing? Then I realized this is MY podcast, I can talk about all the things that I want!

Why did I name it "Basically Manda" instead of "Magically Manda?" This was really hard for me to settle on a podcast name. I knew my podcast would have a lot about Disney but I love other things too. And like I had mentioned, I knew that I may want to talk more than just Disney, so I came up with Basically Manda. I have always considered myself pretty "basic" in all the good ways! I think its a perfect fit! I really love the name and its still very similar to Magically Manda! What do you think? Let me know!

I have three episodes so far and I love it. I wasn't going to talk much about what's going on in the world today, but after thinking about it and it becoming more and more serious I knew it was something I had to focus on. In my second episode I talked about how I try to find a reason to smile even if its just once a day. I came up with the hashtag #STOPBREATHESMILEPOST. I started it because I was finding that I was slowly allowing myself to feel low about not being in my usual routine and working from home can be stressful! I forced myself to take a step back close my eyes breathe and find a reason to smile. I would sometimes put a song that makes me feel good and dance it out and laugh at myself. I would then post a selfie on my story @magicallymanda with the #STOPBREATHESMILEPOST and it made me feel so much better! Even if it was just for a few moments, I allowed myself to smile and just BREATHE! Its easy while we work from home to be attached to our computers or work or teaching our kids or whatever it is and to not smile a bit. I know its hard to, we turn on the news and its right in our faces! A lot of sadness, a lot of uncertainty, a lot of things being canceled or postponed. So i challenge you to STOPBREATHESMILEPOST! I want to see those smiles!

Now back to the podcasting..... I tend to ramble friends, could you tell? HAHA!

For future episodes of my podcast I want to talk about RunDisney! Why did I start Running Disney? What motivated me to sign up? I also want to talk about reality tv! If you read my about section you know I love all things Bravo! I want to talk about being a boyband fangirl! Talk to some friends about some of the adventures we have had and the ones we are looking forward to! And what else? WHO KNOWS! I just want to talk about all the things, probably have some special friends join in on the fun and just chat! Believe it or not those are my favorite types of podcasts; people who are just talking about all of the things they love and make me forget about my worries for a little bit.

Let me know if you want to know more about how I got started tech wise? I am by far not a tech person but I figured it out! I came up with a plan and made sure I had the gear I needed, and not even expensive gear! I can totally make a video or blog post about that too! Let me know! Let me know what else you want me to talk about on podcast!

Thanks so much for all of the love and support! Sending love and magic to you always!

Until Next Time,

XOXO Magically Manda
