🏳️🌈✨ BIG News! We Are Nominated for an Ambie 🎉
|
Family, On Wednesday, I received a text message from a friend sharing & I quote, “AYYYYE look our friend is podcast famous”. It’s a group chat so I hurried to see who she was talking about & behold it was me. She included the image above, I saw our artwork right away & I was blown away. The Queer News podcast is in the same image with Mel Robbin’s, Vibe Check & the re-Living Single podcast 👀 What a moment. What a welcome surprise. The Ambies are the Academy Awards of our industry. Being nominated here is the equivalent of being nominated for an Emmy. That’s so major. We are nominated for Best Indie Podcast Host. Me. Best Indie Podcast Host. This is our second Ambie nomination since I started this podcast. We won for Best DIY podcast in 2023 and to be back in 2026 is such an honor. Now I could use help getting to the awards ceremony taking place February 23rd in New York City. This travel wasn’t planned and I don’t want to miss this moment. Can you help me get there? I’d really appreciate anything you could do & then you’d be part of the QCrew ✨

Family, This week during Anna’s Got a Word I talk about breathing through the hard times. When we begin to feel overwhelmed to stop ourselves and breathe in, hold, exhale and then think of something you’re grateful for and do it again. Breathe in, hold, exhale and think of something you’re grateful for. Do it over and over till you feel more balanced. The world is at war, trans rights are under perpetual attack, and so many things just feel upside down. But in the midst of all that there is...
Family, Do you all listen to the end of each episode for Anna’s Got a Word? Reply and let me know. It’s been a staple since season one and before then I had a whole podcast titled “Anna’s Got a Word”. I love ending each episode on a positive note because the news can be so heavy. This week I decided to talk about the power of manifestation. The power we have to speak life over our own lives. our families lives and our dreams. The belief that when you keep a positive mindset, put in the work...
Family, The Ambies ended up being postponed from Monday to Tuesday of last week due to the blizzard. On Tuesday night I gathered on Zoom with some of my fellow nominees and pod friends so we could watch together. I talk about that experience more in my QCrew video this week but it was just what I needed. Now, I didn’t win in my category and there was a momentary feeling of, dang, but then I was ready to move on and cheer for my friends. On this entrepreneurial journey I’m clear we will always...
