Have you ever wondered what really happens behind the mic of your favorite independent podcasts? The truth might surprise you.

Welcome to a rare, unfiltered glimpse behind the curtain of Thym 4 Tea with Mikita. In this intimate first episode of my mini-series, I'm spilling all the tea about what podcasting looks like when there's no production team, no fancy studio, and absolutely no playbook: just me, a microphone, and a mission.

From choosing themes based on what genuinely tugs at my heart rather than chasing trends, to the vulnerable moments of sitting with headphones on, wondering "Does anyone even care what I'm saying?" – this journey has been anything but smooth. I share the technical nightmares (yes, I once forgot to hit record after a brilliant 30-minute conversation), the emotional rollercoaster of almost quitting multiple times, and the unexpected joy of having strangers yell "Is it time for tea?" across a store.

The podcast world often glamorizes the process, but the reality involves constant learning curves, battling insecurities, and figuring out how to create quality content without formal training or experience. Yet within these challenges lies the true magic: hitting publish on something you almost talked yourself out of, then hearing from someone who needed exactly those words.

Whether you're considering starting your creative endeavor or simply curious about the person behind the mic you listen to, this raw conversation offers a refreshing dose of reality paired with genuine encouragement. Remember, you don't need perfection to begin – you just need to start. And when you feel like quitting, ask yourself why. The answer might just bring you back home to yourself.
