    150. What If Not Having a Lot of Podcast Downloads Is Actually a Good Thing?

    You do not need a "big" podcast for it to be successful or for it to make money. I know that goes against literally everything you've probably been told about podcasting...the download goals, the chart-topping metrics, the milestones, etc, but I'm here to tell you about a different way, and it's not the popular advice. In this episode, I'm breaking down the lie we've been told about podcast success, why having a smaller audience might actually work in your favor, and what to focus on instead of chasing downloads. I also get into the sponsorship trap and why selling your own offers is so much more powerful than working on somebody else's clock inside your own show (and give you some tangible tips on if you want to sponsor your own show). In this episode, you'll learn: Why the download focused model was built for influencers and media companies...not small business ownersHow a small, aligned audience can be more profitable than thousands of random downloadsWhy podcasting is more intentional than almost any other platform and what that means for your businessThe sponsorship trap and why you're essentially working for someone else inside your own showHow to sponsor your own podcast with your own business and offersWhat to focus on instead of download numbersThe metrics that actually matter for a business-aligned podcastWhy podcast success looks different for every single person Links mentioned in this episode: Book Your Strategy Call Start or Grow Your Podcast With Me: Join the FREE Moms Who Podcast Community: https://skool.com/podcasters/Ready to launch your podcast?: https://pamelakrista.com/podcast-launch/Need help with editing and/or managing your podcast?

    149. The Top 3 Podcast Mistakes I See in Every Podcast Audit

    I just got done auditing eight different podcasts in the past week for my brand new Fix My Podcast LIVE event, and I keep seeing the same three mistakes over and over again. These aren't small tweaks...these are foundational issues keeping podcasts invisible, disconnected from offers, and stuck. The wild part? Most of these podcasters had no idea they were making these mistakes. In this episode, I'm breaking down the top three podcast mistakes I see in almost every audit, how to know if you're making them, and exactly what to do to fix them. Plus, I'm sharing some bonus insights that were too good to leave out, including what happens when you try to play both lanes with sponsors and clients. In this episode, you'll learn: Why vague or generic positioning is keeping your podcast invisible to the right listenersThe content-offer misalignment that disconnects your episodes from your businessWhy most podcast names can't do all the heavy lifting without a strong taglineHow to know if a stranger would immediately understand who your show is forThe question to ask yourself before recording any episodeWhy trying to serve everyone means serving no oneWhat happens when you try to chase sponsors and clients at the same timeWhy these mistakes are completely fixable without starting over Links mentioned in this episode: If your podcast feels stuck or invisible, it's probably not your content quality, it's likely unclear positioning, a content-offer misalignment, or a missing tagline. I'll show you exactly what's off and how to fix it in a Podcast Audit. 👉 Get Your Podcast Audit I'm hosting free live podcast audits every month!

It's the kind of news that can make you pause and wonder: Is podcasting even worth it anymore? Did I miss the window?

    147. If I Were Starting My Podcast Over Today, Here’s Exactly What I’d Do

    If I were starting my podcast over today, I wouldn’t burn everything down before starting or assume I got it wrong... but I would do a few things very differently. In this episode, I’m sharing what clarity has taught me after nearly four years of podcasting, managing shows, and building podcasts intentionally for business growth. This conversation is for you if you’re brand new, thinking about starting a podcast soon, or a few years in and wondering why things feel slightly off. I’m breaking down the foundational shifts I’d focus on first, not the tech or trends, but the pieces that actually make a podcast sustainable, aligned, and supportive of your business long-term. Questions answered in this episode: What should I focus on first when starting a podcast for my business?How do I get clear on who my podcast is really for?Why is talking to one specific listener better than talking to an audience?What does it mean to build a podcast around a listener journey instead of random content?How should podcast episodes guide listeners instead of just educating them?What is a listener journey and why does it matter for podcast growth?When should I focus on backend systems like funnels and links for my podcast?Why don’t podcast funnels work without trust?How can I design a clear path for listeners without overcomplicating my systems?Is it normal for a podcast to evolve as your business grows?Do I need to rebrand or start over if my podcast feels misaligned?

    146. 3 Years of Moms Who Podcast & What 13,000 Downloads Taught Me

    Three years of Moms Who Podcast feels surreal in the best way. In this anniversary episode, I’m reflecting on what’s changed, what hasn’t, and how hosting this podcast has shaped my business, my clarity, and my confidence over time. While I share milestone numbers, this episode isn’t about downloads. It’s about evolution, alignment, and building something intentionally instead of chasing metrics. I’m also pulling back the curtain on where this podcast is headed next, why clarity matters more than virality, and the biggest lesson I’ve learned after three years behind the mic: a smaller, more aligned audience will always outperform a bigger, unfocused one. If you’ve ever questioned your growth, your niche, or whether podcasting is “working,” this episode is for you. Questions answered in this episode: Why don’t podcast downloads tell the full story of podcast success?What actually matters more than podcast download numbers?How has hosting a podcast changed my business over the last three years?Why is clarity more important than going viral with a podcast?Is it better to have a niche podcast with fewer listeners or a broad podcast with more downloads?How can a podcast support your business instead of becoming another job?What role does podcasting play in a larger business ecosystem?Why is auditing your podcast content so important as your business evolves?What mistakes do podcasters make when they try to talk to everyone?How can a podcast be used as a vehicle to guide listeners toward offers, communities, or events?Why do aligned listeners matter more than high listen counts?How can hosting virtual events like summits grow a podcast and business?What changes am I making to Moms Who Podcast moving forward?

    144. Cubicle to CEO Podcast Interview: Why Most Podcasters Quit and How Podcasting Can Actually Support Your Business

    Earlier this year, I was a guest on the Cubicle to CEO podcast with Ellen Yin for a conversation all about podcasting, consistency, visibility, and using your podcast intentionally as a business owner. We talked about why so many podcasters quit early, what actually happens when you stay consistent, and how to think about your podcast as a long-term business asset instead of a short-term content experiment. I wanted to share this full conversation here because it represents one of the many visibility conversations I stepped into this year and gives you a behind-the-scenes look at how I approach podcasting strategy when I’m speaking on someone else’s platform. If you’re a busy mom entrepreneur who wants a podcast that supports your business in a sustainable way, this episode is for you! Questions answered in this episode: Who do you think is the right business owner to host their own podcast where it actually makes sense and helps their business grow versus focusing on podcast guesting instead?Why do you think so many podcasters burn out and quit so early?What are the biggest mistakes you see new podcasters make in their first few episodes?Do you recommend launching a podcast with a trailer or multiple episodes?How many episodes do you recommend podcasters launch with?What are your thoughts on podcast SEO and being discovered through search?How should podcasters think about keywords for Apple Podcasts and search?

    If you’ve been showing up behind the mic every week, hitting publish, and wondering why in the world your podcast still isn’t bringing in clients… this episode is going to feel like a warm, honest wake-up call. I’m finally sharing why I created the Fix My Podcast Workshop, the workshop I wish existed when I launched my show in 2022.
