Episode 342 – What Running a Podcast for 6+ Years Has Taught Me About Consistency (and When to Quit Something)

After more than 6 years, 340+ episodes, and a truckload of cuppas... I’ve learned a thing or two about showing up. Especially when no one’s clapping yet.

In this reflective, real-talk episode of the Small Business Made Simple Podcast, I’m sharing the truth about consistency—what it actually looks like, what it costs, and when it’s okay to quit (or at least press pause).

Whether you’re podcasting, posting on social, writing newsletters, or trying to stay visible in your business without burning out—this is the pep talk you didn’t know you needed.

We’re chatting: ✅ How consistency builds trust—and why that matters more than fancy funnels ✅ The sneaky difference between quitting and pivoting ✅ Why Episode 1 nearly didn’t happen (and what made me hit publish anyway) ✅ Five lessons from six years behind the mic—warts, wins, and all ✅ When to reflect, when to rest, and when to just keep going

This episode is for the small business owner who’s ever thought: “Is anyone even watching?” “Does this even matter?” “Should I just quit?”

💡 Spoiler: Showing up is the strategy. Especially when it’s hard. Especially when no one’s clapping (yet).
