    The Real Cost of DIY Podcasting (Time, Energy, and Momentum)

    Send us a text letting us know your thoughts on today's episode When we talk about DIY podcasting, the conversation usually gets stuck on money. But the real cost? It often has nothing to do with your bank account. In this episode of Podcasting for Moms, we’re digging into the hidden costs of doing it all yourself—the time, energy, momentum, and mental load that quietly pile up behind the scenes. If you’ve ever felt like your podcast is something you’re constantly “catching up on,” or like it’s asking more from you than you can realistically give in this season of motherhood and business, this episode is for you. We’re reframing what support really means and asking an honest question: is DIY podcasting still serving you or is it slowly costing you more than you realize?  In this episode, we cover: The real time cost of DIY podcasting (and why it’s never just “a few extra hours”)How podcasting creates invisible mental and emotional laborWhy lost momentum is one of the most expensive costs of allThe hidden business impact of an unsupported podcastA gentle reframe to help you evaluate whether this season still makes senseThis episode isn’t about pushing you to outsource—it’s about helping you protect your energy, your time, and your ability to keep showing up consistently. In the next episode, I’ll walk you through exactly how I support clients one-on-one with podcast strategy and production so you can decide what kind of support feels right for you in this season. 🎧 Tune in, reflect honestly, and remember: you’re not just building a podcast—you’re building something sustainable that supports your life, not drains it.

    What It Really Looks Like to Be Supported Behind the Mic

    Send us a text letting us know your thoughts on today's episode If you’ve ever listened to podcast advice and thought, “I’m not failing… I’m just exhausted doing this alone,” this episode is for you. Today we’re talking about what real support behind the mic actually looks like—not vague encouragement or hype, but practical, day-to-day support that makes podcasting feel lighter, calmer, and sustainable again. In this episode, I break down the difference between doing it all yourself and being truly supported in your podcast. We’ll talk about why support doesn’t take away your voice or control, how it removes mental load and decision fatigue, and what changes when your podcast is held inside a clear strategy and structure. If podcasting has started to feel heavy, chaotic, or draining, this conversation might put words to something you didn’t realize you were craving. In this episode, we cover: What podcast support really means (and what it doesn’t)Why support should hold your voice—not replace itHow strategy eliminates the “what should I talk about?” spiralThe hidden mental load of making every podcast decision aloneWhy structure actually creates more calm and creativityHow reducing production friction gives you your energy backThe quiet confidence that comes from being supported inside a processIf this episode feels grounding or relieving as you listen, pay attention—that reaction matters. In the next episode, we’ll dive into the real cost of doing everything yourself, not just financially, but mentally and energetically too. You don’t have to carry your podcast alone and sustainable podcasting doesn’t have to feel heavy.

    54. Is Your Podcast Actually Set Up to Sell? (Be Honest!)

    Send us a text letting us know your thoughts on today's episode If someone binge-listened to your last five podcast episodes… would they know what you actually sell? Oof. I know. That question can sting a little. In this episode, we’re having an honest (but gentle) conversation about whether your podcast is truly set up to support your business or if it’s just existing next to it. Because here’s the truth: you can have incredible content, loyal listeners, and high-value episodes… and still not see sales. Not because you’re doing anything “wrong,” but because your podcast might not be positioned to sell. Today, we’re breaking down what a sales-ready podcast actually looks like, the common mistakes I see all the time, and how to shift from “just educating” to building belief and guiding listeners toward the next step without being pushy, awkward, or salesy. In This Episode, We Cover: The uncomfortable question most podcasters avoidWhy “just adding more value” doesn’t automatically lead to salesThe difference between education and positioningA simple self-audit to see if your podcast is aligned with your offersWhat a podcast that’s actually set up to sell does differentlyCommon mistakes (like only selling in the last 15 seconds 👀)How to make your podcast a bridge to your offers — not just a content libraryWhy repetition isn’t annoying… it’s necessaryIf this episode made you realize your podcast might not actually be supporting your income the way you want it to, that’s not failure — it’s clarity. And clarity is powerful. If you’re ready to create a profitable and sustainable podcast that turns listeners into buyers (without working full-time hours), I’d love to support you inside Moms Behind the Mic Society — my low-cost membership for mom podcasters who want to start, grow, and scale their show strategically. You don’t need to podcast more. You don’t need better equipment. You just need a podcast that’s aligned with your business goals. Let’s make that happen.

    Who 1:1 Podcast Support Is For (And Who It’s Not)

    Send us a text letting us know your thoughts on today's episode Before we go any further into this bonus mini-series, we need to talk about something important: one-on-one podcast support. If you’ve ever felt guilty for wanting help, unsure if you’re “ready,” or wondered whether support means you somehow failed at DIY… this episode is for you. Because needing support doesn’t mean you didn’t try hard enough — it usually means effort alone isn’t the problem anymore. Structure is. In this episode, we’re having an honest, pressure-free conversation about who one-on-one podcast support is for and who it’s not. We’ll break down the signs that support can actually create momentum (instead of adding more to your plate), why support isn’t about perfection or quick fixes, and how having someone in your corner can make podcasting more sustainable as a busy mom in business. This is about clarity, direction, and building a podcast that works with your life — not against it.  In this episode, we cover: Why needing podcast support does not mean you failed at DIYThe difference between motivation and directionWho one-on-one podcast support is actually designed forHow podcast support helps you move forward imperfectly but intentionallyWhy support matters if you want your podcast to support your business (not just your ego)Signs your podcast feels like an invisible load and what that really meansWho one-on-one support is not for (and why that matters just as much)If you’ve been asking yourself “Am I ready for support?” this episode invites you to consider a better question: Do I really want to keep doing this alone? As you continue through this bonus series, listen with curiosity — not pressure. And if you catch yourself thinking, “I just want someone in my corner with this,” that’s worth paying attention to.

    Send us a text letting us know your thoughts on today's episode Have you ever thought about pitching yourself as a podcast guest… only to immediately talk yourself out of it? Maybe you’ve told yourself you’re too new, your audience isn’t big enough, or no one would want to book you yet.  In this episode of Podcasting for Moms, we’re busting that myth wide open and talking about what actually gets you booked on podcasts and spoiler alert: it has nothing to do with your follower count, downloads, or years of experience.
