I Started A Podcast And I’m Bringing It To Medium!

The beauty of cross-platform functionality

Hi, my name is Sylene! I’m a writer, podcaster and mental wellness advocate.

Medium is mainly a writer’s platform.

I get that.

But during the quarantine I had a lot of time to think about how I can better utilize my resources.

With so many avenues for cross-platform functionality I do not want to waste any opportunity to reach my audience scattered on the internet.

What I Did And How I Did It

I started a podcast about mental health because as a Caribbean woman I know how taboo the topic can be. I couldn’t find resources because of accessibility and affordability, which are two things I talk about in my Medium story “Black Women Deserve Therapists Who Look Like Us.”

So, I decided to write about it (Medium and my blog) and now I’m talking about it on my new podcast.

For the time being, my focus is solely about inspiring better mental wellness. But, I am also putting in the groundwork to monetize my content so I don’t ever have to work a 9–5 again (yay Millennial dreams!).

Most writers on Medium make peanuts, and yes, I know it’s not about the money. But passion can’t pay bills.
