#179: Should I Start A Podcast?

We are diving into the core reasons to start a podcast!

Drawing from my years of experience in the podcast industry (over a decade!), running a full service podcast production agency, freelance producing, teaching classes, speaking at industry events, and judging podcast competitions -

I've had the amazing privilege to maintain an insider look at how podcasts come together and what inspires them into existence.

Whether it's healing through shared struggles, igniting passion around a beloved topic, amplifying lived experiences, or channeling expertise into meaningful conversations - podcasters have been changing how we have conversations and how we connect and feel seen and heard.

If you’ve ever wondered whether podcasting is for you, or worried about following the rules in how to create one... then I'm here to help you see how that first spark is what ignites a big flame.

You’ll discover why all it takes is a personal reason—your “why”—to begin. Get ready to feel inspired by real examples from one of the competitions I recently judged that prove podcasting is as much about building community as it is about personal growth.

Join me as we uncover the 5 common themes that motivate people to start their own shows, and learn how podcasting could be the next step on your own journey toward self-discovery and purpose.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  •  Five authentic reasons people start podcasts—and how they can inspire your own creative journey
  • How podcasting can be a path for personal healing, transformation, and growth
  • Why using your voice matters and how it can build powerful community connection
  • Ways podcasting can help you gently step into your true purpose and create a life (and business) aligned with your soul
