Shownotes

Three years and four months ago, this show was a 70 dollar microphone, a two year old chilling in the office, and a mom who had NO idea if anybody was going to listen because I had a "small niche". As of this morning, that same show has over 15,400 downloads. Today is my birthday, and I have been thinking all week about the version of me who hit record on episode one and the five things I would tell her if I could go back!

This episode is for the mom who already has a podcast and is quietly wondering if she is even doing this right, and for the mom who has been thinking about starting a podcast and is just waiting to feel ready. I'm sharing the five lessons I wish I had known on day one, the receipts behind why each one matters, and what I would do differently if I could rewind to my very first episode.

In This Episode You'll Learn:

  • Why collaborations are the fastest way to grow your podcast (and the three types of collaboration that actually move the needle)
  • What it really means to get clear on your dream listener before you ever hit record
  • The four things every single podcast episode needs to be doing if your podcast is a real business asset
  • Why auditing your podcast is non-negotiable maintenance and what happens to your old episodes when you skip it
  • The reason you should hit record before you feel ready (and what happens to your business when you keep waiting)
