    In this episode, we, the hosts, both introverted and prone to anxiety, reflect on the journey of sharing personal topics on our podcast. We delve into the nerves and uncertainties we experienced leading up to the release of our first six episodes. Along the way, we share the feedback we've received and outline our plans for future episodes. And of course, amidst all the serious talk, there's a sprinkling of waffles, so if you have a phobia of waffles be warned, it's a bit of a waffler.
