Islanders launch podcast inspired by Sanibel
Sanibel resident Bridgit Budd and part-time resident Jen Shaver recently launched a podcast, “Don’t Get Me Started.” Inspired by the resilience and beauty of the island — especially in the wake of Sanibel’s recovery from the recent storms — it aims to create a space where women can connect, laugh and rediscover joy, no matter where they are in life or the country. With its sunny beachy vibe, the podcast celebrates women over 50 through heartfelt and humorous conversations. They noted that it feels like sitting down on a Sanibel porch with your best friends, soaking up the magic of the island while sharing stories. The show covers topics like health, relationships, rediscovering joy and navigating transitions, such as empty nests or career changes. The podcast is available on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify and more. New episodes of the show drop weekly. To watch on YouTube, visit https://www.youtube.com/@dontgetmestartedpodcast.
