In this solo episode, I’m speaking candidly. I urge you to stop second-guessing yourself and doubting your dreams. 2020 has proven to be a year like no other. The untimely death of Kobe Bryant, COVID-19, murder of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and countless others, protests, and civil unrest in the United States and other parts of the world have shaken us to the core. Life as we knew it no longer exists. We’ve been forced to adjust to a new normal that none of us would have ever imagined we’d be living. Now more than ever, it’s time for you to seize the moment – to stop sitting around second-guessing yourself and start believing in yourself. It’s time for you to take action toward your dreams despite what’s happening around you. As you listen to this episode, I hope that you hear something that resonates and sparks you to action toward living your dreams. Take note of how you’re feeling.

As a black woman and mother of three sons, I’d been watching what’s going on in our country with a deep sadness and concern. No matter how much I tried, I couldn’t stop hearing George Floyd cry out for his mama while he struggled to breathe at the hands of police officers. Once again, another black man was carelessly killed. Another precious life taken – just like that. I felt afraid for my sons, my brothers, my cousins, and friends because that could have been one of them. I grew numb and silent as I struggled to figure out what to say in response to not only George Floyd’s murder but also of the many other black lives that were taken at the hands of police officers. As I thought about the present state of our country and all of the things I couldn’t do to protect my loved ones, I began to feel helpless. It wasn’t until I made the decision to speak out that I started to feel better. When I went live on Facebook for the first time and shared my candid thoughts, I felt powerful. I realized, in that moment, that my voice is my power. Even though I can’t change systemic racism and eradicate police brutality by myself, I can use my voice to speak up.

This episode was inspired by my recent trip to Atlanta to speak at the inaugural She Podcasts Live conference – an event created for female podcasters. I had an AMAZING time meeting new and old friends, learning from presenters, and being introduced to new products and services for podcasters. In this episode, I share some of the unexpected benefits of being a podcaster and how I discovered my personal power. When I began my podcasting journey in 2015, I had no idea that it would help me face and overcome some of my biggest fears while helping me gain new skills and build confidence. As you listen, I encourage you to find yourself in my story. What projects are you currently working on that have allowed you to stretch, learn, and evolve? What fears have you overcome? What skills have you gained as a result of your work? Life is all about learning and growing. If you’re not learning, you’re not growing. If you’re not growing, you’re not truly living – you’re simply existing. I hope that you hear something that inspires you and reminds you of the possibilities that are within your reach every single day. You have more power than you may recognize. If your life isn’t going the way you want it to, use your power to change it. Life is too short to spend it sitting on the sidelines. It’s your time to shine! Wishing you ALL my very best, Erica

I’m super excited that we made it to this milestone episode! Here on the Moms with Dreams Show, we love to celebrate our success – both big and small - and reflect on lessons learned on our journey to our dreams. I often tell women that they have to give birth to their dreams and nurture them just as they birth their children and nurture them to independence. In this episode, I compare the process of starting your dream business to birthing a baby. I walk you through the process of birthing your dream business from conception to delivery in these stages: Conception of your dream – when you conjure up the idea or receive a vision Gestational period - when you’re carrying your dream inside of you, putting in work but aren’t able to “see” your dream yet Birth of your dream – when you give birth to your dream business, are nurturing it through actionable steps and are beginning to see results Resources Mentioned: As additional resources, I refer to previous episodes on the Moms with Dreams Show, Social Media Lifestyle podcast, and my web developer, Tim Melanson.

Happy anniversary to the Moms with Dreams Show! I can’t believe it’s already been four years! I feel like time has gone by so fast. So much has happened since I launched my show on May 18, 2015. When I made the decision to end my online radio show and start my podcast, I was clear on what I liked about podcasting – having flexibility to pre-record interviews, having my own platform to share my message, the freedom to call the shots and the ability to create a show that would live forever on Apple Podcasts, iHeart Radio, Stitcher, and other cool places where people can find me around the globe. What I didn’t know was how much time and energy I would have to invest to launch my show and keep it going. The first year was tough running my podcast as a one-woman show. I spent a lot of time learning how to edit in Audacity and trying to find my rhythm as an interviewer and discover my voice as a podcaster. Looking back, I realize how much I’ve grown over these past four years. I’ve gained new skills. I’ve met amazing women from all over the world and have made lifelong friends because of my podcast. I’m grateful for every tough lesson as it’s shaped me into the woman I am today. In this episode, I share ten valuable lessons that I’ve learned as a podcaster. I hope that you’ll find value in these lessons and apply what fits in your life. I also had fun recapping twenty of my favorite episodes. Honestly, the list was going to be much longer, but I had to cut it off in the interest of time. If you enjoyed this list, I’ll let you in on a little secret. I am working on a project that’s a spinoff of the MWD show. I’m excited to share it with you, but it’s still too early to spill the beans. I’ll share more with you very soon. As you listen, I hope you hear something that resonates and inspires you. I’d love to hear what you’re thinking. Feel free to leave your thoughts and comments below the show notes at http://ericablocker.com/147. You can also email me at: Erica@momswithdreams.com. Thank you for keeping me inspired and helping to make the Moms with Dreams Show a success. I wouldn’t be here without you, and I am so grateful for your love and support. Thank you for listening, for sharing and leaving me reviews. I appreciate you and am honored to be on this journey with you. I look forward to many more years of podcasting and growing with you. All My Best, Erica

I had fun creating this episode! It’s unlike any other episode that I’ve ever done here on the podcast. It’s my first time ever being so candid and free without a specific topic or focus. I guess you can say it’s my own version of a mini variety show. Episode 145 is a mix between free style, real talk, candid Q & A, and my thoughts. You’ll hear me talk about: my relationship with my podcast why I’m a big fan of taking breaks and social media sabbaticals the dilemma with my kids and their phone addiction how I helped a co-worker overcome his social media addiction how I manage to do all that I do as a single mom with a full-time career and more.

In this episode, I’m talking to you about a precious resource – your time – and why you should stop wasting it by waiting. With life being so busy and hectic, it’s easy to tell yourself that you’re going to wait until the time is right to pursue your goals and dreams. I know that it’s not easy, but you must train yourself to become action-oriented even when you don’t feel like doing the work. As you listen, think about what you really want to achieve or accomplish over the next year and write it down. I want you to think about what steps you can take today to move forward in the direction of your 12-month goal. As I share with you in this episode, you don’t have to take giant steps. Each small step will add up to get you to your desired result. Just like you don’t see immediate results from working out, it will take time for you to achieve your big goals. But you can do it when you decide, plan and take consistent action. I talk about the benefits of not waiting and how it impacts your life in the long-term. That thing that you’ve been called to do will always be on the horizon until you stop waiting and start creating what you want. I hope that you hear something that inspires you to get going. I’d love to have a conversation with you on this topic. You can comment over at http://ericablocker.com/137 and I’ll be sure to respond. If you’d like support with moving forward, I’d love to help you. Send me an email at Erica@momswithdreams.com and we’ll talk about the next steps. I’ll be back next week with more inspiration and education to keep you empowered on the journey to your dreams. Until next time, Reclaim YOUR dream. Do what YOU love. Make a difference. Take care, Erica
