Ep 1: It Starts Right Here, Right Now with Jackie Dumaine
Welcome to She Starts Now!
I still remember the day that the vision for not only this podcast, but this entire movement came to me. If you have ever had what some would call a divine download, you know that feeling of everything coming to you at once with clarity.
So in this first episode of She Starts Now, I want to share a little more about who this podcast is for, what you’ll learn, and what you can expect when you tune into this podcast every week.
I’m diving into my inspiration for this show and my big “why” or my reason for bringing this podcast into the world to share with you.
This podcast is all about sharing real, raw stories from the heart, so I’m starting by sharing mine.
In This Episode, We Discuss:
Who I am
The She Starts Now vision
How to know if this is the space for you
The quotes that have helped me throughout my life
Where my passion for human stories came from
My own Eat Pray Love experience
The greatest educational experience of my life
My inspiration for starting this podcast
She Starts Now is my story. This is my “She Starts Now” moment. It’s your story. It’s our story.
Thank you so much for joining me for this first episode! I am so excited to embrace the unknown with you and dare to bloom together.
Let’s begin, shall we?
