My Lightbulb Moment about a Possible Podcast … with my Daughter 😍
I’m going to attempt to share with you what has transpired today.
This post in FB happened right before the recordings I’m now able to share -
https://www.facebook.com/1002967853/posts/10223576605655565/ and this image is the tail end of it all -
What I’m attempting to do here is be succinct about and share what happened in between 😊
So here’s what happened.
Aleda (@leed - oldest daughter) and I sometimes have these long and meandering text messaging threads.
Sharing random thoughts and links that continue some earlier conversation, or a recipe I’d love for her to cook, or a TikTok, YT short or other snippet of video that’s made us laugh, pictures of our fur babies “the current situation” flavored …
Well, sometimes these are quite brief and sometimes these go on and on -
For example, it was a 3 part video series that she shared to me in early summer 2020 that cast me head long down the CRT rabbit hole - one by-product of that is a YT playlist I have called “The Era of Grievance Studies and related fallout” 😅)
That’s carried over into pretty much any of the current events du jour.
Which actually could be connected to this Locals community existing at all tbh … an other story for another day perhaps.
Same thing happened this morning.
But before I tell you about what happened next there - I gotta tell you about something I watched happen in one of these exchanges a couple days ago - and offer up a bit of HD clarity I had.
It ties directly into this.
Due to Corona circumstances and reactions by/from others beyond her control, I said to Aleda -
“hmm maybe it’s time we explored online options again that we could do together 🤔”
And her Manifesting Generator self answered “yeah could be, like what?”
To which I (emo authority, undefined ego) eventually replied “I only got as far as the possibility 😀”
And that was it for a couple days.
Then this morning another loonnng and wandering (multimedia/often hilarious … to us anyway 👀) texting session happens.
And somehow that possibility was still pending in my head and … I was like gosh I wish there was a way to share our conversations with others.
🧐 mmm … like a podcast 🤦🏻♀️😂
Then I tossed that question out on FB … and the response from @ChristyLangman prompted an exploration of what’s actually possible…. Via an app I had ALREADY started using.
On which, I found 2 game-changing features.
1. a voice message system - that my mind is rolling with ideas for … the most obvious one being, send that leave a message link to people who have questions and maybe it becomes a podcast.
Here’s Aleda testing that feature for me -

2. The next thing I ran into was a solution for exactly the problem I thought I needed to grapple with - how to easily record two voices in conversation. Well, turns out - this is also “the app for that” 🥳 … the next screen literally said ‘invite friends, so I copied the link to that and texted it to her.
Next thing you know, we were recording our first podcast together 😀
So yep we tested that too, and I have some fiddling/exploring to do before there’s a published link to share … it landed as a draft audio in my app - but holy heck!!
That was easy! 😳😍
Hope that makes sense … if not, ask questions k?
Am already seeing possibilities pop in Planet Andrea peeps just from that FB thread.
Gotta love Unexpected life 😍❤️🤗
