When you are a one woman operation some days can seem a bit hectic. Today is such a day – but it is fun and I’m not complaining.
Last Friday evening I went to Milwaukee and MPTV station to do a live interview with Australia’s #1 breakfast show, Weekend Sunrise (like our Today show). The producers of Weekend Sunrise saw my article, How My ‘She Shed’ Improved my Marriage that Today.com picked up a few days before that.
You can watch the replay of my interview by clicking on the photo below (not sure how long the link will be up, so be sure to watch soon):
It was a new experience for me. While I’d been on The Morning Blend and Fox 11 News a few years ago with Frankie that was live on the set. This was different as it was done via satellite and MPTV as the affiliate station that connected me to Australia.
John, the camera person, clipped a microphone on me and placed an ear piece in my right ear. When it was time for my interview John instructed me to look right into the camera to answer the questions the hosts were asking me.
If felt very odd to look into a camera and see no one there. It was sort of like talking on the phone, yet it was a bit more challenging staring into a small, square lens and not being able to see who I was actually talking to.
Afterwards as I drove home my inner critic was very loud and I thought for sure I’d not done well at all with the interview. I tossed and turned all night long, feeling very vulnerable thinking I may have made a fool of myself.
But alas, my fears were for naught as I watched the replay the next morning and I was happy with how the interview turned out. And it was a lesson in not letting that nasty, obnoxious critic get the best of me!
At the end of the interview I had no idea until I listened to the replay, but I didn’t know what host Andrew O’Keefe was referring to when he said “kiddie bin.” I thought he said, “kitty bin” and I couldn’t understand what that had to do with the interview. But I sure had a good laugh over it once I understood.
Today I’m working on submitting a press release to my local media outlets. But I also wanted to check in with all of you, my lovely readers, and say, all is well– just been a bit busy is all.
But Gidget keeps me centered and looking forward to snuggling with her a little later tonight.
