Apology For Disappearing

SPEAKER_00 0:00

Hey, what's up, girl? It's been a little while. I kind of ditched ya. I kind of ghosted ya. And for that, I apologize. That was not my plan. That was never my plan.

Losing Inspiration For The Topic

SPEAKER_00 0:16

Here's what happened. I was really struggling to come up with a topic for the podcast episode, the next podcast episode. And I had been feeling this way for a little while. So I thought, okay, you know what? I'm going to go take a walk. Maybe that'll inspire me. And as I walked, I thought, you know what? I don't, I don't feel inspired anymore. I don't feel inspired to talk about network marketing anymore. I just don't. And so I thought, you know what? I'm going to take a break because I'm the boss and I can take a break. I'll just record next week or the week after. And the next week hat rolled by and the week after rolled by. And I never came back. And y'all, that's not okay. That's kind of crappy. And I'm sorry about that. I'm not in the business of ghosting my people, but that's exactly what I did. And you know what? It's okay. It's okay. I think we put such expectations on ourselves. And I told myself I would never do something like this. And I did.

Outgrowing Network Marketing

SPEAKER_00 1:32

But here's the thing: I can't, we can't force things that don't fit anymore. And you know what? I think I grew out of the Direct Sellers podcast. Not you guys. I didn't grow out of you, but I grew out of the topic. And I'm going to be very, very real. I'm kind of over the network marketing industry. It listen, I am grateful for it. It served such a purpose for me. Gosh, it served a purpose. It made such a difference in my life. But I've now grown

A New Mission For Midlife Women

SPEAKER_00 2:06

out of it. And my passion now is helping women who are in midlife, so like 40s, 50s, 60s, step into what's next for them. For many of us, we've raised kids, we've worn so many different hats. We've been providing everything for everyone else. And we've sort of left ourselves behind. And now it's time to step into who we are, what we're meant for. And that's kind of the direction that my life and my business has taken. And so the Direct Sellers podcast isn't serving that purpose anymore. It's not, it's not fulfilling me in the ways that it did in the beginning. But that doesn't mean you're not fulfilling me. And it doesn't mean that I'm ditching you, even though it felt like it. Okay.

New Podcast And Where To Find Me

SPEAKER_00 2:54

I have started a new podcast. It's not live yet. It's going to hopefully be live tomorrow. We'll see if everything goes according to plan. It's called Not Done Yet, a podcast for midlife women. And I would love for you to come and give it a listen. I will let you know as soon as it's alive, alive, as soon as it's alive, as soon as it's available. And I just would welcome you over there because, sister, I'm really excited about this. But I get it. I get it if you're like, well, you know what, Rach, you ghosted me once and that's it. I feel you. I get you on that. But I hope that you're like, no, Rach, I get you. I know where you are. I know where you're coming from, all the things I forgive you. If that's where you are, come on over. Come on over and hang out with me. It's where I am. And listen, I've also started TikTok. Yeah, I'm on TikTok. So if you're on TikTok, come find me. I'm at Rachel A. Perry. That's kind of my fun place. It's kind of crazy, although it's been weird recently. But come on over there, sister. Or if you're still on Instagram and you're not on TikTok, I'm still on Instagram. I share much of what I share on TikTok on Instagram. But listen, I just want you to know that I love you. And even though I ghosted you, I never forgot you, and I kept thinking about you. And here I am saying, I'm still alive, I'm still here. Come hang out with me on the Not Done Yet podcast. I love you so much. And I'm so grateful for all the years you supported me with the Direct Sellers podcast. That was literally my baby after I left the tag team. And you've been there with me along that journey, and I so appreciate it. And you're so very special to me. So thank you. And I and I do hope you'll come hang out with me on the next podcast, or if maybe it's just TikTok and Instagram, but come tell me that you're from the Drug Sellers podcast so that I can give you some extra love. Hope to see you over there, my friend. Bye, sister.
