Introducing: "Girl of The House" | Journal of a reluctant 2nd-generation family business owner
Hello fellow travellers! First of all, let me make it clear, this announcement does not mean I am abandoning "Pheladi Presents South Africa". "Girl of The House" is just another project in the Pheladi Presents universe that communicates a different aspect of my life, behind-the-scenes of this travel podcast.
Towards the end of 2022, I was made the co-owner of my family's hospitality business. Since then, I have been struggling to fully embrace my new responsibility. This newsletter and podcast journal was developed to help me work through that hesitation.
This episode is actually a recording of one of the journal entries posted on my "Girl of The House" newsletter. I felt it appropriate to also post it on this platform because I believe the information it communicates is relevant to the audience of "Pheladi Presents South Africa". It explains what I have been dealing with behind-the-scenes and how I plan to move forward after this announcement. Also, I think it will also give you a taste of what "Girl of The House" is about.
Be prepared, the structure of the "Girl of The House" podcast is completely different from that of this travel podcast. Whereas "Pheladi Presents South Africa" is more casual yet informative; `'Girl of The House" is more scripted and it unfolds like a written personal diary.
Another thing that I need to mention is that in the recording I introduce the newsletter and podcast journal as "The Business of [Un]Becoming". However, that is the former name. Following my recording and posting of this audio, I've since changed the name to "Girl of The House".
