Coffee on the Couch with Nadine Malone

What was the reason for having Nadine as a guest:

Nadine Malone: Host of “Keep Hope Alive”

The decision to have Nadine on the show stemmed from a unique reciprocal experience, where I had the opportunity to be a guest on her podcast and, in turn, invited her as a guest on mine. Despite the challenges of managing a busy schedule, including unexpected snow days with kids at home, the exchange of podcast appearances proved to be a rewarding endeavor. While the experience of relinquishing control of the hosting duties was initially unfamiliar, it ultimately provided a fresh perspective and sparked a newfound interest in exploring opportunities to guest on other podcasts. Nadine’s presence and conversational style contributed to an enjoyable and enriching dialogue, highlighting the growing emergence of podcasting as both a medium of communication and a burgeoning profession. This reciprocal interaction not only fostered a deeper appreciation for the diverse and dynamic nature of podcasting but also opened doors to new avenues of collaboration and connection within the podcasting community.

Host: Before we dive into our conversation, can you share a bit about your journey into podcasting and the inspiration behind creating a haven for these heartfelt discussions?

Nadine: Yes, a lot of people do ask me that, Chris, and I’m happy to be on your show and everything.
So me and my friend, my friend just passed last year and It was hard to go through that but every time we called each other we would talk about I wish the doctor would hear me on this or maybe it was work somebody I just want to be heard you know and we would talk about different topics I guess for a while for over five years yeah and I just started thinking you know I’m in meetup.com and
