Milena says she had to overcome a lot of self-doubt before launching her own solo podcast.
“I was scared to put this podcast out.
“I felt like I’m just going to be in my home talking. It doesn’t feel big enough, it doesn’t feel glitzy enough.
“But it doesn’t matter where it’s coming from,” Milena says she told herself.
“You started from from the ground before, so let’s go again.”
Since she launched solo project Milena’s Diary at the end of September, she says she’s been “overwhelmed” by the response.
“It reminded me, ‘this is why you are here. This is your purpose’.”
But “it was very difficult to start again from the ground up,” she says – and definitely a change of pace from The Receipts.
There, “I had a team,” she says.
“We had production, we had social media people, somebody that edited the podcasts.
“All I had to do was turn up and talk and that’s it.
“Now doing this solo, I’m doing everything myself. I’m a one-man band.”
