UPDATE & BONUS EPISODE!

As many of you know, I am currently taking a podcasting class at school. I am trying to fully educate myself on different software & how to run a successful podcast.

Previously, I started the podcast, I Deserve It, as a lot of you know me from. This was a great learning experience, but it really taught me that podcasting is so much more than just talking into a microphone and pressing upload. I had anticipated a Fall release for The Manifested Life, but great things take time. I am still actively learning & my classes won’t be finished until December. That being said, I am pushing my release to early 2026. It means so much to me to not only have a successful launch, but to also keep the show growing & successful. I simply can not preach to you about resting, self-care, taking care of your energy levels, and letting life work if I am not going to be a direct example of my own words, so that is what I plan to do.

I know everyone is excited, as am I, and I’ve had such a hard time not uploading episodes as I finish recording! I am generally a very spontaneous person, so working on this over months and carefully planning has been a major accomplishment for me. I can’t wait to share The Manifested Life with you, not only as a podcast, but as so much more. I have spent the last few months actively working and planning, so I’m ready to share!

That being said, in my podcast class, we had a project that required us to create an investigative report as a podcast episode. I chose the disappearance & murder of Kelsey Berreth from Woodland Park, Colorado in 2018. Woodland Park is only about a half hour away from where I live, so it was a really interesting case to dive into. I received tremendous feedback from my professor, so I wanted to share it with you all as a little bonus episode! I absolutely LOVE true crime podcasts, that is how I got into podcasts in the first place. I always thought I’d want to do a true crime podcast, but it requires an extensive amount of research and editing that I simply do not have time for, unfortunately. So please enjoy this bonus episode and comment below what you think of it! I’d love to hear your feedback!

Thank you for your patience & being the best community! ❤️
