Let's get right to it Reader: We're 2 quarters in 2025 and yes, time does go by fast. If you’ve been holding onto a podcast idea but haven’t made a move yet, here’s a quick way to get unstuck. Before you worry about gear, guests, or episode titles… Let’s make sure your concept is clear and compelling. That’s the foundation. This week, I’m offering a short custom review for anyone who wants feedback on their podcast idea—what’s strong, what’s missing, and how to turn it into a show that...

Let’s be real Reader: If “not enough time” were the real reason your podcast hasn’t launched… ...you probably wouldn’t still be thinking about it. The idea keeps circling for a reason. Because deep down, you know you’re meant to share something. But here’s what I’ve seen with dozens of clients: What looks like a time problem is often a decision problem. Not the kind of decision that lives on a to-do list. But the kind that says: “I’m ready. Let’s go.” And I get it—that kind of clarity feels...

Welcome to the weekend Reader! What if the thing stalling your podcast… isn’t really time? I’ve seen it over and over again. Smart, capable folks stuck in the “almost ready” zone. Not because of gear. Not because of scheduling. But because of hesitation disguised as planning. “I just need to get through this week.” “Once things slow down a bit...” “I’ll launch when I feel more confident.” Here’s what I tell my clients: Clarity comes from doing. Momentum builds after you hit record—not before....

Let’s talk about the real reason your podcast hasn’t launched Reader. It’s not your schedule. It’s not your tech. It’s not your to-do list. It’s indecision. We tell ourselves we’re waiting for the “right” time. But time doesn’t create clarity—movement does. When I work with clients, we often find that the thing they’re “waiting on” is really just a mask for fear. Fear of visibility. Fear of being judged. Fear of not getting it perfect. Here’s the truth: A clear, aligned YES cuts through all...

Today's reminder Reader, We wait for clarity. We wait for confidence. But both are often on the other side of expression. That idea you’ve been sitting on? The message that keeps nudging you in the quiet moments? It doesn’t need to be perfect. It needs to be said. Most people never launch their podcast because they believe their message isn’t ready yet. But what if the act of speaking it out loud—unpolished, uncertain, real—is what makes it ready? If your voice shakes, let it. If your message...

Let's get straight to the point Reader, You’re not waiting for the right audience to show up. They’re waiting for you to show up. I know the struggle—wanting everything to be perfect before you press “record.” The gear, the script, the flawless launch. But here's the truth: Your audience needs your voice, not your perfection. You don’t need to be perfect to get started. You don’t need a flawless launch or a polished show. What matters is that you show up as your true self, with all your...

Can you relate Reader? There’s a quiet kind of shame that shows up when we think we’ve “missed the window.” Too late to start the podcast. Too late to tell the story. Too late to matter. But here’s the truth I’ve learned, again and again, both in life and in coaching: The moment you decide to begin is always the perfect time. When I started Podcast Junkies in 2014, I thought I was late to the podcast party. Turns out it was one of the best decision I've ever made! Again, the moment you decide...

Let's get it straight, your story is your greatest asset Reader. Do you ever feel like you need more credentials, more qualifications, or more degrees to truly be the expert you want to be? I get it. It’s easy to believe that if you just had more experience, more technical knowledge, or a bigger following, you’d finally be ready to share your message. But here’s what I’ve learned: What you’ve lived through: That is your content. Your struggles. Your wins. The lessons learned the hard way....

Let’s talk about perfectionism for a second Reader, You’ve probably heard it all: “Your content needs to be polished.” “Make sure you stay neutral.” “Don’t rock the boat.” But here’s the truth that no one tells you: The more you try to please everyone, the less anyone feels you. The safest, most “neutral” content is the most forgettable. So here’s the question I want you to sit with today: Who are you trying not to offend? Maybe it’s that former colleague who’ll judge you. Maybe it’s the...
