Welcome to my podcast, The Wellness Project with Des. Today is a very special day. It is the airing of my 50th episode!
My podcast has gone through many shifts and changes but I am happy to say that I have finally found the right fit. After starting out doing movie reviews, I focused on my goal of interviewing people. I started interviewing people about their hobbies and passions and creativity. I loved it but something didn't feel aligned. After a lot of thinking and hesitation and working through self-doubt, I finally landed on what should have been obvious from the start. I began interviewing experts in the areas of mental health and wellness. As a social worker, I am passionate about helping people with their mental health. It now makes complete sense to interview experts in the wellness fields and my podcast finally feels aligned with what I am passionate about.
I am so excited to bring you more episodes! Now I can't wait to reach the 100 mark!

Welcome to my podcast, AccordingtoDes where I interview people with passions, hobbies, or side hustles trying to live their best lives by following their dreams and pursuing their goals. Get ready to be inspired!
On today’s episode, I interviewed Cathleen Dower. Cathleen's story is truly inspirational. Dancing ballet, lyrical, and jazz from a young age she knew she loved to dance but felt somewhat bored. Growing up Irish American, she was always in touch with her culture but it wasn't until she was 12 years old when her life was transformed. Her family brought her to see Riverdance and something inside of her clicked. She immediately switched to Irish Dance.
Later in college she had the idea to open her own Irish Dance School. Thinking it was too big of a dream, she pushed it aside for a bit but the thought kept creeping back to the forefront.
Listen to this episode to hear how Cathleen followed her dream of opening her own Irish Dance School despite her dream feeling out of reach.

21. The Black Cloud: My Endless Streak of Bad Luck
21. The Black Cloud: My Endless Streak of Bad Luck
Hello and welcome to my Podcast, AccordingtoDes. Today's episode is a therapeutic venting.
Lately I feel like life has been nothing but bad news, bad luck, and rejection. I feel like I am jinxed and I just can't get rid of this black cloud above my head. I guess that is 2020 for everyone but here is my story- not even including 2020 stuff like cancelled trips and such.
I've learned that the best way for me to feel better and less anxious is by talking about what is bothering me. Today I vent about the many things I have been feeling sad about.
Tune in next week to hear an inspiring interview!

19. My experience on Monkey Beach in Thailand
19. My experience on Monkey Beach in Thailand
Monkey Beach is a travel destination on many people's bucket lists. A mere 10 minute boat ride from the ever so popular, Phi Phi Island in Thailand, Monkey Beach is a top tourist destination.
In this podcast episode I discuss the pros and cons of Monkey Beach and rant about the selfish, irresponsible tourists we encountered. Give a listen if you have heard of Monkey Beach or plan to go.
Let me know if you have been there (or any other popular animal tourist destination) and your thoughts about the situation.
When traveling, especially to animal experience destinations, it is so important to be respectful of the animals and nature.
