Ever felt like you're hiding behind your podcast guests instead of sharing your own voice?

In this episode, I open up about something personal: why I stopped relying so heavily on guest interviews and started recording more solo episodes. If you've ever felt like you're holding back on your own podcast or second-guessing whether your stories matter, you’re not alone.

I talk about my own struggles with confidence, the shift from playing it safe to showing up more vulnerably, and what I’ve learned along the way. It’s uncomfortable, yes. But it’s also the kind of discomfort that helps you grow, and that’s what I’m leaning into.

You’ll walk away with a reminder that your voice does matter, and a nudge to show up as yourself, even if it’s messy, short, or unscripted. That’s what makes you relatable. That’s what builds connection.

Have you ever felt like you’re hiding on your own podcast? I’d love to hear your experience. DM me on Instagram @podcast.support.services and let’s chat.

Ever wondered why your social media followers aren’t turning into podcast listeners?

Just because someone follows you on social media doesn’t mean they’re tuning into your podcast. In this episode, I talk about the real reasons why your audience isn’t making the leap from Instagram to Spotify, and what you can do about it. I’ll walk you through what makes podcasting different from social media and how to build a strategy that turns scrolls into plays.

You’ll hear why posting “new episode out now” isn’t enough anymore, and I’ll give you clear, practical ways to bridge the gap between your content and your conversions. If you’ve been wondering why your podcast isn’t getting the love it deserves, this is the one to listen to.

If this episode got you thinking differently, come say hi! DM me on Instagram @podcast.support.services, I’d love to hear from you.

What if your podcast could do more than just fill a content gap?

If you’ve got a business podcast and you’re staring down another year of recording without a clear plan, this episode is for you.

I walk you through how to make sure your podcast supports your business goals, not just fills space on your to-do list.

You’ll learn how to plan your content around your offers, your calendar, and what your audience needs from you. I’ll also walk you through how I use content pillars and a simple Trello setup (yes, it’s free!) to take the stress out of planning. Whether you want to grow your one-on-one services, promote a course or sell out a live event, it starts with the right episode strategy.

Are your podcast episodes helping you grow your business, or are they just going out for the sake of it?

Come tell me over on Instagram @podcast.support.services, I’d love to hear your answer.

Thinking about releasing two podcast episodes a week but worried it’ll be too much?

In this episode, I break down the real pros and cons of increasing your podcast publishing frequency, not just what sounds good in theory. If you’re wondering whether it’s worth the extra time and energy, or if you’re worried about burning out (or losing listeners), this one’s for you.

I’ll walk you through exactly what to consider before adding more episodes to your schedule, how to do it in a sustainable way, and a smart way to test the waters. You’ll hear real examples, common pitfalls, and my thoughts on how to make more content work for you, not against you.

Do you ever feel like podcasting is more draining than it should be?

In this episode, I talk about something that doesn’t get talked about enough in the podcasting world… mindset. You’ll hear why your mindset matters just as much as your mic, and what to do when you start second-guessing everything or obsessing over download numbers. I’ll share practical tools to shift your energy, stop overanalysing your stats, and reconnect with why you started your podcast in the first place.

You’ll get simple ideas to help you stay consistent even when motivation dips. From mini mindset resets to creating a pre-recording ritual, this episode is here to help you enjoy your podcast again and feel proud of what you’re creating.

If your podcast has started feeling heavy, this one’s for you. Let’s bring back the spark.

Which mindset tip are you going to try first: hiding your stats, printing your favourite reviews or breathing before you record? Send me a message over on Instagram @podcast.support.services, I’d genuinely love to hear what resonated.
