Welcome to WordPress Simplified Podcast! I’m so excited to share my love for WordPress and all things tech with you. Don’t worry, I’ll keep it simple, as the name suggests!
My mission is to help you take back your time by taking over your WordPress tasks so you can get back to doing that thing that lights you up. When we all stay in our zone of genius for as long as possible, we all rise together.
In this episode, you'll learn about my qualifications and who I am. I’ll share why I started this podcast and what you can expect to hear about as we move forward with “real” episodes.
I’ll get deeper into my mission, so to speak, and why my overall business “why” changed late in 2020.
I misquoted my services website (how on earth!) the correct site is linked below and in the transcript.
Please feel free to leave a review with honest feedback anywhere you listen to podcasts.
