Black in classic

I could start this with so many half-truths about needing time for myself and all of the etcetera. However, in full transparency, I was simply not in the mood. Writing and podcasting can be super cerebral and I was not in that type of mood. I had gone as long as I could before needing a LONG break. The short bursts of breaks were okay, but I needed time. Now in that time, I started to realize well, when you come back; You need to come back strong. Therefore, my dilemma. 

I was struggling with when is it time to come back and how will I make my entrance back into this space. As a recovering procrastinator, days turned into weeks which then turned into years. I made up my mind that I was ready to return on more than one occasion. However, I never picked a date. I never really made it official because the idea was scary. 

Scary. It was very scary because I just could not figure out what I would talk about. Talking is not easy. It is not. Not every week. You quickly learn that there is just not that much in the world to talk about. 

Now let’s be honest, this is where I knew the level-up needed to happen. There wasn’t much to talk about because I did not have a system or structure for my podcast. Many times, if I had not received a message that I felt compelled to say, I was simply winging it. Writing before recording always helped. *wink wink* But, I simply never felt that I had enough to say week after week. 

So then, I came to realize through much studying, I needed to plan better. Think of this as bigger than just a podcast. Think Big, Bitch! 

This is a full production. This requires a writing room. This requires the structure of a television show. I cannot wing it because winging it was causing burnout. (Breakthrough as I write this – this is why writing is so therapeutic) Lack of structure/systems just causes confusion and stress. 

As I embark on this second wave of BlackInClassic Podcast/Website, I realize that it is time to kick it up. I am still very scared, but the fear has turned into that fear that causes you to move. Not the fear that causes you to remain stuck. (We can talk about that at a later date 😉) 

Without further ado, BIC Podcast will be returning…
