It’s January 1st, 2026, and I'm officially retiring the "just be consistent" advice.

    The Christmas Gift: How to Gain Momentum and Build Your 1,000 Loyal Listeners | #303

    You know that feeling when you’re trying to build something beautiful, but the "chaos" of life and tech just seems to swoop in and crunch your hard work? Maybe it’s a 404 error at 2 AM, or maybe it's just the mental exhaustion of having a brain that never turns off.  I call this the Chaos Tax—it’s the price you pay in time and peace when your ideas don't have a framework to live in. If you’re listening to this on Christmas Day, I want you to know: This is not a homework assignment.  I’m not here to give you more "to-dos." Instead, I am inviting you into a "What Could Be" list. I want you to hear these 12 Gifts of Mic Drop Mastery as a vision for your 2026—a way to harness your beautiful swirl of ideas into a movement that changes lives, one episode at a time. Inside this episode, we’re unwrapping a vision for: 📌Your Strategic Flywheel: How to create 90 days of content that feels fresh, aligned with your values + goals, and most importantly - CONVERTS.  📌The Power of Connection: Why personally connecting is how real movements are built. Leave the sales pitch at the office. 📌The 10 Commandments of Podcasting: Find the clarity to monetize every single episode with speed.  📌The Gift of Ingenuity: Why your unique quirks, faith, and "X-Factor" are the most important parts of the framework.  You don’t have to fix your funnels today. You don’t have to plan your next quarter right now.  You do need to give yourself permission to let these ideas marinate in the back of your mind until you're ready to kick it into full gear. If that time is now, that you’re ready to trade chaos for the mastery, the doors to VPS Pro are open. When you're 1 of the first 5 new members, you'll get a sweet flywheel bonus—a $697 value gifted to you to map your 2026 with precision. 📲Tell Me More!

    The Real Reason Your Podcast Feels Heavy (And How to Lighten the Load) | #302

    Let me guess. Your podcast doesn’t feel hard exactly. It just feels… heavy. Like every episode requires: a pep talka prayerand maybe a small emotional support snackIf that’s you, I’ve got good news. You’re not lazy. You’re not unmotivated. And your podcast is not broken. In this episode, I’m unpacking the real reason podcasting starts to feel exhausting — and spoiler alert: it’s not because you need better ideas or more consistency. (If “just be more consistent” actually worked, none of us would be here.) What’s actually happening is a structural breakdown that impacts us at the nervous system. Here’s what I walk you through: Why your podcast feels heavy even when you like your messageThe sneaky way “trying harder” makes everything worseWhy your brain is tired of re-deciding things every weekWhat I mean by containment (no, not Tupperware… but also kind of)The ONE question that immediately lightens the load of your next episodeWhy belief work isn’t one-and-done (and why that’s good news)What healthy accountability really feels like ( steady, supportive, and not frantic).I also give you something you can do this week — no rebrand, no four-hour planning session, no spiraling required.

    Why ‘Just Be Consistent’ is a Big Fat Podcasting Lie — How to Grow, Influence, and Monetize Your Show | #300

    You’ve been consistent.  You’ve shown up.  You’ve posted episode after episode.  And yet… it still feels like your podcast isn’t reaching the impact you hoped for. After 300 episodes, I’ve noticed the patterns that trip up even experienced podcasters: consistency alone doesn’t grow your audience, influence your listeners, or monetize your show.  In this episode, I’ll share shifts that turn effort into results, presence into impact, and a podcast that’s just ‘out there’ into one that connects, converts, and drives profit. If you’re ready to stop releasing episodes just because someone, somewhere said to, you’re in the right place. Listen to begin creating episodes that truly grow, influence, and monetize. I’ll share practical insights, a few laughs, and a fresh perspective on what’s working now in podcasting. Here's something that will never go out of style - good content created for your audience and your business.  Take content creation OFF YOUR PLATE! 🎯Enroll in the 2026 Podcast Content Flywheel to create your 90-day content plan that ties directly to your offers. You don't want to miss it! 🔗‍️Content Creation for Podcasters - Workshop Mini   Spoiler alert: this isn’t another podcaster taking a trip down memory lane.
