Join the Excitement: We’re Podcast of the Year Finalists!

When I started To Live List®, I didn’t know exactly where it would lead, but I knew I wanted to create a space for meaningful conversations. What began as an exploration of ideas has grown into a platform where storytelling connects us in ways I never imagined. And this week, I’m pausing to take in an incredible milestone—To Live List® has been named a finalist for Podcast of the Year by the American Writing Awards! (See all the winners).

With a record-breaking number of entries this year, this recognition is both humbling and energizing. At 6:04 AM, I saw the email come through, and it was more than just an announcement—it was a moment that made me stop and reflect. It was a reminder of why I started this journey in the first place and a challenge to keep going. As someone who often wrestles with questions of purpose, I know how easy it is to wonder if the work we pour ourselves into really matters. This moment is a resounding yes.

In this episode, I talk about what this means—not just for me, but for the incredible community that has supported To Live List®. We explore storytelling and creativity, and how they serve as both a personal expression and a way to forge deeper connections. If you’ve ever hesitated or questioned the impact of your own work, this conversation is for you.

Being recognized by the American Writing Awards also comes with a promotional seal, a meaningful acknowledgment of the dedication and creativity behind this podcast. It’s a nudge to keep going, to keep telling stories that resonate. And if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that word of mouth is everything. If To Live List® has sparked something for you, I’d love for you to share it with a friend.

Being a finalist in the Best Female Hosted Podcast category is a true honor. But at the heart of it, this isn’t just about awards—it’s about storytelling as a force for connection, impact, and change. So, join me in celebrating this moment, and let’s keep amplifying voices that deserve to be heard. Thank you for being part of this journey with me—together, we’re creating something special.
