Episode 9: Elevate Your Online Presence: The Journey of Stigmas and Open Wounds

The Evolution of Stigmas and Open Wounds

Hello everyone, I’m Traci, and this is Eric. We’re excited to share some updates about our podcast and our journey so far. Recently, we dove deep into the world of passion projects, inspired by the show Halt and Catch Fire, which chronicles the evolution of computers and the internet. Here’s what we’ve learned and how it’s shaping our podcast:

Finding Passion in Projects

  • Passion Projects Matter: Watching Halt and Catch Fire ignited a desire in us to pursue projects that resonate with our interests and passions.
  • Avoiding Stress: Unlike the characters in the show who chase VC funding and massive growth, we aim to create a fulfilling project without the stress of scaling it beyond our comfort.

Expanding Our Podcast Vision

In our latest discussions, we’ve decided to broaden the scope of Stigmas and Open Wounds:

  • Beyond Mental Health: While mental illness topics remain important, we’re also focusing on our daily lives and experiences.
  • Creating a Community: We want to foster a connection with our audience, showing that no one is alone in their struggles.

Upcoming Changes to the Podcast

We’re committed to enhancing your listening experience with exciting new content:

  • Website Overhaul: We plan to revamp our website to include:
    • Comprehensive episode write-ups
    • Travel journals from our adventures
    • An online store for merchandise
  • More Frequent Episodes: Expect to see an increase in our episode frequency, including:
    • Weekly content
    • Random segments featuring our adventures and deep discussions during hikes or outings with friends
  • Engaging Topics: We’ll cover a variety of subjects, from fun activities to meaningful conversations about neurodiversity and personal growth.

Connecting with Our Audience

We believe that the future of podcasting lies in genuine connections. Here’s how we aim to resonate with you:

  • Relatable Content: Our lives are filled with experiences that many can relate to, regardless of neurodiversity.
  • Modeling Positive Behaviors: We’ll share our journey and insights, encouraging you to incorporate what resonates with you into your life.

Your Feedback Matters

We value your input as we navigate this journey. If you have thoughts or suggestions, please reach out:

  • Email Us: Share your ideas or topics you’d like us to discuss at stigmasandopenwounds@gmail.com. Your feedback can help us identify areas we might be overlooking.

Embracing Simple Skills

In our discussions, we’ve realized that some skills may seem simple to us but can be challenging for others. For instance, maintaining an inbox of zero is a habit we’ve cultivated, but many struggle with email management. This highlights the diversity of skills and experiences among our listeners.

  • Share Your Skills: If you have a unique skill or habit that you think others would find valuable, let us know! We want to explore these topics further and share insights that can help our community.

Final Thoughts

As we embark on this exciting new phase, we appreciate your continued support. Whether you’re a long-time listener or new to our podcast, we hope to provide content that enriches your life. Together, let’s explore the many facets of our experiences, learn from each other, and build a supportive community.
