Introducing my self. Overcoming fear and sharing stories that motivivate and inspires. "The perfect moment is now!"
You. Hello? This is Nadine Martinez. I'm excited about this moment in my life because there's no perfect moment like this moment. I've been postponing this idea of podcasting for years, since 2017, and for many reasons. Fear, impostor syndrome, unsure what to say or doubting myself if people will listen to my stories. But today is the day, and here I am

Hey, Nadine. Welcome to swell. Thank you for this introduction. I see that you use the Q A feature, which requires that we ask you a question. So I'm going to ask you a question about your profile pic. It looks like you are a runner or an athlete of some sort
I got sick, went back again, started running for a ten k, then got injured, had to stop for a year and then found this community event. It was a five k and I thought it was a great opportunity to get back again, but it was really more an opportunity for me to grieve because at that moment I was going through a difficulty, a loss of my baby niece, two years old and through dire circumstances

Nadine, thank you so much for responding to my question and with such depth and care. And first of all, I'm so sorry about your niece. I have 15 nieces and nephews, and I feel so close to them and they're so important to me. And I'm so sorry for your loss. I know the special role that they play
