40. Why Your Podcast Is Bigger Than You
In today’s episode of Press Play, I wanted to pause and remind you why you started your podcast in the first place and who you’re really doing this for. When we start a podcast, most of us aren’t doing it just to hear our own voice. We’re doing it because we want to make an impact. We want our words, our stories, and our experiences to actually help someone else.
But somewhere along the way, it’s so easy to get stuck in disappointment, perfectionism, and that constant feeling of “this isn’t working.” We overthink the details, we worry about doing it wrong, and we convince ourselves we need everything to be perfect before we show up. And when that happens, we forget the most important thing: this podcast isn’t about us.
Every time you delay recording, every time you hold yourself back because it doesn’t feel ready yet, there are people missing out on the message you’re meant to share. The more you stay stuck in your head, the more opportunities you lose to actually reach the people who need you. And I’ve seen this over and over again with my clients—the people with the most powerful messages are often the ones who struggle the most with getting started and being vulnerable.
This episode is a reminder to zoom out. To stop making this about perfection and start remembering the impact you’re here to make. Ask yourself who this podcast is for, why you felt called to start it, and what you truly want someone to feel, learn, or do after listening. When you lead from that place instead of fear or self-doubt, it becomes so much easier to get out of your own way.
If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or paralyzed by the details, let this be your permission to come back to your why. Your message matters. The people you’re meant to reach are waiting. And the impact you want to make only happens if you actually show up and press play.
