A Message from Jolie
I'm one of those people who stays up-to-date on the news. I listen to various news stations, podcasts, and political commentaries, and while I find satisfaction in knowing what's going on in the world, keeping up with the news cycle can be emotionally taxing -- so many stories about tragedies, political frustrations, and just all-around negativity. While I can't change much of the reality concerning hardships happening in the world, I'd like to hope that I can make a small dent in balancing disheartening realities with realities that don't get as much public attention -- true stories about hope, kindness, forgiveness, redemption, miracles -- the fulfilling parts of life that give us the strength to endure that which is difficult.
And so I created Podsitivity. I didn't do this to make money -- I have a full time job that I enjoy (although there's always the dream of being able to do THIS full time someday). I made this show because I need this show. And if I need this show, maybe someone else out there could use it, too. So I'm determined to do what I can to shine a spotlight on the great amount of good and inspiring people there are out there, one true story at a time. If you believe as I do that the world could use a bit more hope and positivity, please share an episode with someone you think could use it.
It's time to heal a bit. It's time to feel a little relief that we are not alone. There is good out there. Everywhere. Let's share it.
Thank you so much for your love and support.
- Jolie
