Take another peek into the minds of coaches who are absolutely crushing it with podcasting, and they are doing it with passion and purpose. These coaches have found the "meaningful metrics" that keep them showing up week after week, spreading fairy dust behind the mic, and creating their own definition of what it means  to be a proud podcaster with a capital P.

Today I'm talking about something so important that very few podcast coaches and experts are talking about. Every podcaster will face this at some point, and usually it happens during the first few months after starting a podcast.  It's the 3 phases of a podcast, and what successful podcasters do so they don't give up.

CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE TRANSCRIPT FOR THIS EPISODE

What you'll learn in this episode: 

• The 3 phases every podcast goes through
• The mindset that successful podcasters adopt 
• Why chasing downloads leads to giving up
• How to call BS on your podfade brain 
• Why most podcasters give up after the first few months

The successful podcaster, who is playing the long game ... who's like the craftswoman at work, has realized the immense impact their podcast is making for not only for their clients, but for themself too, and they are all-in on doing it for the process, not the outcome.

I often see many new podcasters getting out of their lane looking at what the big podcasters are doing, wanting those same results, and wondering why they're not getting them. And they get caught up in the numbers instead of focusing on the most important metric -- humans and touching and transforming lives with their words.

 What you'll learn in this episode: 

• Why most podcasts end after only a few months
• The problem with being attached to a timeline 
• Deciding in advance to play the long game with your podcast
• The Fool in Tarot that is in it for the process, not the outcome

Here's the paradox ... when you forget the outcome and focus only on the process, that's when the door to receiving actually opens because you've discovered that this special medium is here to help amplify your message and have that impact on the people who need it most.

This is what my clients experience when they work with me in my Ready, Set, Launch program, because all the steps are laid out in a very systematic way that gets you to launch your podcast in the shortest period of time possible.

My life has been nothing short of incredible over the past 6 months. I made the decision to stop looking outside myself, to stay in my lane and doing some really scary things … that actually turned out to not be so scary after all.

Today's episode is one that I’m sharing so I can explain what I did so you might pull a few bits of inspiration out of this for yourself … to step into your own sovereign self to see you’re stronger and more resilient that you think.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• How I tore it all down and completely started my business over this summer
• How I made space for what was wanting to come in
• When I stripped every bare, I realized I had everything already
• Finding refuge in the absence of the illusion of what I thought was safe 

learn what I did during my "summer of reinvention" and how it was a little quirky and unconventional, and how I created “home away from home” at a local campground. 

I spent my days in our family RV. which became my haven, my refuge. A place to explore, be curious and begin the reinvention process. 

And asked the big question: Who is that I’m called to serve?

As you'll learn, when I flipped the switch to make my transition, what I know for sure is that when you hit on what's right for you, the Universe has one big happy dance.

I have a lot of exciting things to share coming in the coming weeks and months, including, a relaunch of this podcast, so that means, there will be a podcast-a-palooza party. I promise more deets on this soon.
