Podcasting in 2025 doesn’t have to be hustle, grind, niche-down-or-die energy. It can be bold. Soft. Strategic. Fun. Sustainable. In this spicy solo episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what’s actually working for podcasters who want to create from a place of alignment, not obligation.

If you’ve been stuck in overthinking, overposting, or trying to shrink your brilliance into a tidy little niche... this episode is a call to unbox yourself. I’m sharing the hot takes I’m seeing play out across my clients, my listeners, in my own business, and why the old podcasting rules might not be worth following anymore.

In this episode, we’re talking about:

• Why overposting is overrated (especially if you're doing it all solo)
• The perspective over niche mindset shift that’ll set your content free
• How your growth era might actually be your nurturing era... and that’s okay
• Why monetizing too soon can backfire (and what to do instead)
• The one hot take I’ll die on: You don’t have to DIY forever
• How to know when it’s time to ask for help, and what that help can look like

This episode is for you if:

• You’re burnt out on posting 3x a week
•  You’re sick of playing by rules that don’t feel made for you
• You’re craving a podcasting rhythm that honors your season, your energy, and your voice
•  You’ve been wondering if your show still fits or how to make it fit you

Your podcast doesn’t need to be boxed in to be brilliant.
 It doesn’t need a 5-figure sponsor to be successful.
 It just needs to sound like you, when you’re ready, with a mic in hand and a point of view worth sharing.

 I’ve got tools to help you strip it all back, realign your strategy, and find your voice again—louder and more unapologetic than ever:
