What?! I listen to: An introduction

I say what a lot. Like way more than any one person should. I say it for two main reasons. One, I didn’t hear what you said. Like I didn’t process what you said not that I wasn’t listening. It was that I couldn’t understand what you said. Second, I wasn’t listening to you. I admit, I will not be 100% focused when I am being talked to. Many times my mind is elsewhere. Thinking about what I need to get done for the rest of the day or what we should have for dinner. (To tell you the truth I think a lot about food and what to eat). Or I will be trying to listen to other conversations around me to pick up information. It is not necessarily eavesdropping (which admit you do it too), but being aware of my surroundings.  I listen for an opportunity to enter a conversation or for to topics to talk about later.

If you are part of my inner circle you will get the whatbabe?! I say what babe?! But it comes out as a single word. So if I say whatbabe?! you know you have made it with me.

I drive a lot, for work, pleasure and family. I can get bored with listening to music all the time so I wanted to find something else. That is when I discovered podcasts. I could not believe that these awesome nuggets were free! Free! I have gone through many podcasts and search for new ones on a weekly bases. But I always have my old trusties.

One of those old trusties and the podcast that started it all was Around the Table podcast. It was hosted by two friends, one happened to be a Dietitian. Their tag line was intention and indulgence. And I think that really spoke to be about my philosophy on nutrition. I use the past tense because as of yesterday, they have decided to end the podcast. It saddens me that I won't get to listen to Maggie and Jacey on my Tuesday car ride up to Noblesville. I have many other podcasts to listen to but Around the Table will always hold a special place in my heart. I always felt more in balance after listening to ATT. 

So now you know how I got started on my podcast kick, I am going to share my favorite podcasts and why I love them. They get me through the hours that I spend in my car.

I hope you find a new favorite podcast and please share with me your favorite podcasts! What?!
