Have you been thinking about starting a podcast but feel overwhelmed by the technology, equipment, content planning, or pressure to keep up with another platform?
As Unapologetically Visible approaches its one-year anniversary in August of 2026, I’m taking you behind the scenes of what it has actually taken to produce a weekly podcast for an entire year.
I spent years telling myself that I wanted to start a podcast, but I kept overthinking the technology and waiting for the perfect time. Once I stopped treating the podcast like one massive project and created a simple, repeatable process, everything changed.
In this episode, I’m breaking down the exact goals, podcast tools, systems, and weekly workflow I use to create, record, edit, publish, and promote Unapologetically Visible.
We’re talking about:
• The three goals that shaped the direction of my podcast
• Why I chose solo podcast episodes instead of guest interviews
• How podcasting can build credibility, deepen trust, and support client conversion
• The technology and software I use, including Riverside FM and Acast
• How I plan and write podcast scripts without losing my personality
• My Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday podcast production schedule
• How I turn each episode into newsletters, LinkedIn articles, and social media content
• What finally helped me stop overthinking and publish the first episode
You do not need an elaborate studio, a large production team, or a perfect strategy to begin. You need a clear reason for creating the podcast and a process you can realistically sustain.
This is the first episode in a three-part series celebrating one year of Unapologetically Visible. Over the next few episodes, I’ll share the mistakes I made, the lessons I learned, and what surprised me most about building a podcast from the ground up.
