20 Something with Maddie
36 episodes - English - Latest episode: about 1 year ago - ★★★★★ - 7 ratingsMy little passion project. In 2020, I started this podcast with the idea to share stories, experiences, and life as a 20 something. I felt like there were so many people sharing their journey from the past, but not as many sharing as it’s happening. It turned from a passion project and just doing it for fun to feeling like a task and turning into more of a sharing business/marketing things and then got less and less until eventually it became a task I didn’t want to do because it was no longer what I wanted it to be. That entire time it stayed on my mind and it was still very much something I wanted to do, so here we are. With a little reframing of what it ~needs~ to be and just letting it be exactly what it was meant to be, it’s back and I couldn’t be more excited. 20 Something || sharing stories, experiences, laughs, life, business and whatever else comes up in the life of a 20 something with the hopes that we all will feel a little less alone and a lot more confident. Thx for being here <3
