Simplify Podcasting | Christian Coaches + Business Owners Launching and Leveraging Podcasts in Online Marketing

Are you frustrated that your podcast isn’t delivering the results you know it could?

Then it’s time for a Podcaster Health Checkup, the first critical step every serious podcaster must take before doing anything else. In this episode, we uncover where your episodes may be leaking authority, audience, and revenue and how to fix it.

Skip this, and all your effort could be wasted.

I break down the fundamentals you need to evaluate first: your content alignment, audience engagement, and how well your episodes tie to your business offers. 

This health check gives you clarity, but here’s the key: it’s the beginning. 

To turn your podcast into a lead-generating, revenue machine, you’ll need to: 
>> implement a repeatable content system
>> connect every episode to your offers
>> create accountability strategies

These 3 things will make your podcast work for you instead of against you.

Whether you’re a coach, consultant, or service provider, this episode is your wake-up call. If you do the work in this episode, you’ll have a clear snapshot of your show’s health and know exactly where to focus first so that every episode you create actually builds authority, grows your audience, and generates income. Don’t waste another episode, start here.

Your podcast should be irresistible to your audience. Is it more "Meh" than "Cha-ching"?

I’m not a pumpkin spice latte kind of girl...but I am drooling over pumpkin pie with flaky crust and whipped cream. 

And just like that pie, your podcast should be irresistible to your audience… but let’s be real...if you’re still spinning your wheels 10 months into 2025, your episodes might be more “meh” than “cha-ching.”

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the three S’s that most podcasters are missing: Strategy, Structure, and Support. You’ll learn how to:

• Turn your episodes into client-attracting machines
• Map every episode to your business and personal goals
• Build a system that keeps you consistent without burning out

No more guessing, no more random tips, no more pod fade. If you’re ready to stop pouring hours (and money) into a podcast that doesn’t deliver, grab your notebook, take action fast, and let’s go pro together.

If you know you need support for your strategy and structure, it's time to Go PRO. Find out more here.

Most entrepreneurs dread sales because it feels pushy, awkward, or like you’re begging for business. But what if sales was actually the most life-giving skill you could learn?

In this episode, I sit down with Jane Garee, the sales strategist for the non-sales person, to unpack how selling can be simple, natural, and even joyful. Jane shares her Trifecta of Sales framework, the 3 Rs that make content convert, and why sales isn’t just a business skill… it’s a life skill that creates ripple effects everywhere.

Inside this conversation, you’ll discover:

• The three sales approaches every entrepreneur needs to master.
• Why your content might not be converting — and the 3 Rs that fix it fast.
• How sales done right leads to more revenue, stronger relationships, and real freedom.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, stressed, or second-guessing when it comes to sales, Jane’s insights will shift the way you experience sales forever. Grab a pen and paper! You'll need it!

Lead generation isn’t just a marketing buzzword; lead gen is the heartbeat of your business. And here’s wisdom you need most right now: if you say you can’t, you must.

In this episode of Simplify Podcasting, I’m joined by my hunka-hunka Bill Rogers to break down what real life lead generation that works looks like. Forget cold algorithms, funnels, and AI scripts. We must build authentic relationships, show up in the right rooms, and create connections that close the trust gap and lead to conversion.

We dive into:

• The #1 principle of lead generation: proximity is power
• Why conversations - not cold clicks - create clients
• The danger of hiding behind AI and losing your voice
• How to become memorable, referable, and profitable in any room
• The $12,000 investment we made in lead gen and what it taught us
• The surprising connection between arena football and your ideal clients

Here’s the big takeaway: people hire people. If you want to monetize your podcast, grow your business, and stand out in a saturated market, you can’t just rely on automation, you must invest in showing up, speaking up, and connecting with real people.

Be anxious for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. Philippians 4:6

Galatians 6:9

There are seasons when the world feels unbearably heavy, and the microphone in front of us feels like too much. Yet it is in these very moments that obedience to our calling as podcasters matters most.

In this episode, I want to gently encourage you to keep podcasting.

Your voice is a vessel God has entrusted to proclaim the gospel. Podcasting is not simply about growth or numbers; it is about faithfulness. It is about trusting that even the smallest offering can be used by God for eternal impact.

If you are weary or uncertain, I pray this message reminds you that your voice is influential, your obedience matters, and the Lord will use it to reach hearts you may never see this side of heaven.

If you don't know Jesus, message me to hear about his love for you and his desire for you to come to him.

Struggling to grow your podcast audience or keep listeners coming back?
In this episode, we’re calling out the #1 podcasting mistake killing your listener retention—and how small tweaks in your hook, episode structure, and intro can make your show go from skipped to sticky.

Plus, I’m offering personalized Podcast Audits to help you fix blind spots and monetize before the end of 2025. 

If you’ve ever wondered why your podcast isn’t growing the way you hoped, it might be because you’re breaking the very first rule of podcasting.

Let's walk through a self-assessment that will help you uncover whether your show is engaging… or accidentally turning people off. 

From episode titles and cover art to the way you hook listeners in the first three minutes, we’ll review the essentials that make the difference between a podcast that gets skipped and one that builds loyal fans.

Think of it like a reality check -- done in love -- that will help you get clear on how your podcast is showing up right now and what small tweaks can keep you from losing listeners.

And if you already know you’ve been looking at your podcast through rose-colored glasses, I’m offering Podcast Audits to help you spot blind spots and fix them so you can monetize before 2025 comes to a close.

 What to Say on a Podcast (So People Lean In) Because the right words on a podcast can open doors faster than any marketing tactic. 

Ever stumble over your words when someone asks what you do? Or, you experience that awkward transfer of the microphone?

In this episode, I’m sharing a powerful teaching I first gave inside Maria Fontana’s Salon Business School - and now I’m bringing it straight to you.

I’ll show you why the way you talk about your business matters just as much as what you actually do, and how to reframe your words so people lean in and say, ‘Tell me more.’

If you’ve ever felt like your story gets lost or your value is hard to explain, this conversation will help you find your voice  - and grow your business with it.

Ready to get brutally honest about your podcast and how it is performing?

In this episode, I walk you through the tough questions you need to ask yourself if you want your podcast - and your business - to reach the next level. I’ll show you why being brutally honest about your “floor”, the standards you refuse to compromise, is the key to building staying power and achieving those impossible goals.

You’ll learn the five areas every podcaster must assess:
·       Purpose: why your podcast exists

·       Pretty: how it looks and sounds and feels

·       Punchy: the impact and energy it delivers

·       Prose: the quality of your words and flow

·       Product: how it ties into your offers

I’ll guide you through how to evaluate each one, so you can identify what needs to be pruned and where to focus your energy for real growth.

If you’re ready to move beyond just showing up and start scaling with intention, this episode is for you. I also share how you can join my community of podcasters and get support as you level up.
