What consistency *actually* is... and it's not what you'd expect đź‘€
We’ve all been told that *consistency is the key…* post every week, never miss an upload, stay in the algorithm.
But what if that version of consistency is the very thing draining your creativity?
In this episode, I unpack what consistency *really* means for creators and podcasters. I share how redefining consistency changed my relationship with content creation and how you can build a rhythm that feels good instead of forced.
You’ll walk away with a new definition of consistency, a few gentle mindset shifts, and a mini “cozy creator audit” you can use to find your own creative flow.

- Three reflection questions to help you find *your* version of consistency
---
Takeaways
-Consistency doesn’t mean constant.
