Back to EpisodesWhy I Started This Podcast and Why It Was First Called Starlight Pet Talk
Description
Every podcast starts somewhere, and this one began with a name that meant a lot to me. In this episode, I’m sharing the story behind the show, why it originally launched as Starlight Pet Talk, and how that name connected to my rescue work and the pets who shaped my mission.
My best friend, Bev Brooks, joins me as we talk about where this idea came from, the early days of the podcast, and why the purpose behind the show has stayed the same even as the name changed.
If you’re new to the podcast, this is the perfect place to start. You’ll learn what pushed me to create a space for real talk about life with pets, the heart behind the mission, and how you can be part of the community moving forward
