In this quick, bite-sized episode, I’m answering a listener question about how to create the right podcast setup when you’re just starting out. I’ll walk you through exactly what I use in my own recording space—yes, including my good ol’ trusty Blue Yeti microphone, a simple foam box, and a pop filter I grabbed on Amazon. It’s not the most high-end setup by industry standards, but it works beautifully and proves you don’t need expensive gear to produce quality sound. You’ll hear my best advice for choosing the right mic, setting up your recording environment (even if it’s just your closet!), and picking software that makes recording easy—not overwhelming. I’ll also share my philosophy on why consistency matters more than complexity and how to build a podcast setup that feels sustainable, soulful, and aligned with your creative flow. In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How to choose your first podcast microphone without overspending
• Why your environment matters more than your equipment
• My simple, beginner-friendly podcast setup formula
• How I record my own episodes using affordable tools
• The mindset shift every new podcaster needs before hitting record

Whether you’re brand new to podcasting or finally ready to upgrade your workflow, this episode will help you start smart, sound great, and keep your process simple enough to stay consistent.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what podcast growth really looks like in 2025. From reworking my SEO titles (yes, I’m still tackling them one by one) to doubling down on the social platforms I actually enjoy, I’ll share the strategies that feel both sustainable and effective for long-term podcast growth. I also talk about my “mini podcast tour” this past summer, why I’m circling back to YouTube Shorts, and how AI supports my workflow without ever replacing the soul of my brand. Plus, I’ve got thoughts on the latest industry report from PodMatch—and what it means for indie podcasters like us who are focused on real, steady growth. Somewhere in there, I’ll also share an old stat that reminded me why small beginnings matter more than you think.

Ever wondered if you’re really using your true voice behind the mic? In this quick encouragement episode, I’m sharing what it really means to “find your podcasting voice” — and why it has less to do with sounding perfect and more to do with sounding like you. I’ll talk about the messy beginnings, the confidence that grows over time, and how to lean into your natural style so your show connects on a deeper level. Plus, I’ll share a little behind-the-scenes about my experience as a judge for the Women Who Podcast Awards this summer, and why it reminded me just how powerful every voice in this space truly is.

I’ll be real with you — when I launched my first podcast, I thought a good mic and solid content were enough. I’d hit publish and… crickets. If you’ve ever felt that sting of silence after release day, this episode is for you. I’m sharing how I learned to build a visibility engine around my podcast — one that turns a single episode into a ripple effect across social, email, and beyond. No more publishing into the void — let’s make sure your voice is actually heard, remembered, and making the impact it’s meant to.
