I’ve been questioning something I always thought was non-negotiable: consistency.

This week, I reflect on the pressure of releasing an episode every single week, the tension between quality and output, and the fear of stopping when consistency feels like the only thing holding momentum together. It’s a conversation about podcast growth, but also about careers, ambition, and visibility.

I draw a parallel to my early corporate career, where I learned that doing excellent work wasn’t enough if no one beyond my immediate team could see it. Quiet people are often told to “be more visible,” without anyone explaining how to do that in a way that actually fits who they are.

At its core, this episode reconnects to the mission of Awfully Quiet: Being quiet isn’t the problem. Being misunderstood is.

Quiet people often have powerful ideas, questions, and perspectives, but because they’re not self-explanatory, they get overlooked. This show is about changing that. About making your work, thinking, and ambition travel, without relying on loud tactics or performative visibility.

If this resonates, I’d love to hear from you. What would you want this podcast to explore in 2026?
