In episode 46, Chris and Emma celebrate the second birthday of the Positive Disintegration podcast and reflect on their work together. Our first episode launched on October 25, 2021, and in this Quick Bite, we expressed our gratitude for the podcast's positive impact on our lives and the friendship that has developed between us. We shared our initial expectations and how pleasantly surprised we were by the podcast's success and our compatibility as co-hosts. We discussed some feedback we’ve received from guests and listeners, and marveled at the impact it has made…
…which is, of course, what we originally set out to do, but we had no idea whether or not it would work! We talked about some of the fears and anxieties we had in starting the podcast—fear of not being “perfect,” wondering about whether or not people would embrace the podcast format, and also the nervousness we both had about collaborating when we hardly knew each other.
This discussion really is a celebration of all we have achieved, discovered about ourselves (and each other), overcome, and learned. Importantly, it is also an acknowledgment of the contribution that our wonderful guests and listeners have made to both the podcast and our lives.
Thank you to everyone who has supported us, and joined us on this journey!

You two are truly a testament to being authentic and not letting perfection get in the way of progress. It's very inspiring and ultimately edifying to hear about both y'all's ballsiness
Another favorite podcaster of mine is Cheryl Strayed from Dear Sugars- straight from her heart to our ears gets me every time. I feel the same way when I listen to these quick bites especially
I can't help but feel like the suck up in these comments, but I also 100% trust y'all get it. To me you're like that ONE teacher I'd find at every school I ended up in that knew how to spark me beyond the classroom, the text. They were always language arts teachers, funny that 😏 oh nevermind that's not true, but mostly.
Keep up the amazing work, remember to rest, you've got a veritable cadre rising up to help lift this boat- I know I'm one of many out here cheering y'all (all us!) on!
Thank you so much, Bee! 🙏🥰
