Welcome to the first official episode of The Productive Woman. In this episode I share a little about who this podcast is for, why I created it, what I’ll be covering, and what the format will be. I also offer a little information about myself, so you can decide whether you think I’m someone you want to spend half an hour or so with each week.
Tip of the Week – Learn about the importance of good, secure passwords in protecting sensitive information in your online life, and what constitutes best practices in creating and using passwords.
More information available in this article: How Secure Is Your Password?
Tool of the Week – What is a password manager, and how can it make your life easier?
One of my favorite techy podcasts, Mac Power Users, did a whole episode earlier this year on 1Password and password security. If you want an in-depth discussion, check it out at Mac Power Users Episode 173.
Thanks to my amazing husband Mike for creating and recording the theme music for The Productive Woman.

Hi Mrs. Laura,
I am a new wife and Mommy to two little blessings. Just trying to figure out how to navigate life. I am fairly new to the podcast life and I’m excited to start listening to yours! I listened to the first one to get a feel and I am throughly thrilled too start my day out with these. Thank you for your time and commitment.
Thank you, Brianna. I’m honored to know you’re listening and grateful to hear you’re finding it worthwhile. Please let me know if I can do anything to help you on your journey. (Being a wife and mom are the two most important roles I’ve ever filled!)

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, Consuelo. I appreciate it very much.

I love it! I’ve always been drawn to you because of your transparency. I feel drained when I encounter people and situations that seem to require a secret handshake. Thank you!
Thank you so much, Jo! I appreciate your kind words, and I feel exactly the same. I hope you enjoy the podcast. Let me know if you have any suggestions for how I can improve it or make it more useful.

Operator error…lol I loved it. Great password help/information. I liked hearing your voice and Mike’s music. Can’t wait for eepisode 2.
I’m glad you were able to get it to play, and I’m glad you found it helpful. Thank you for the encouraging words. I do appreciate your support.

It wouldn’t play for me. Probably the internet signal here. Now I’m on the list. I’ll keep trying and catch up at home if I can’t get it. I’m excited to hear Mike’s music too.
Laura, I just listened to your first podcast. It is a brilliant idea. I think I’m going to enjoy it. Mike’s music is a nice touch. Laurel
Thank you so much, Laurel. I hope you find the podcast useful. I’m certainly open to suggestions. This is a very new–and a little bit scary–thing for me!
