    Feeling Legitimate as a Podcaster (Even Before Your First Episode)

    Schedule your complimentary ⁠Podcast Boss Call with Regina HERE⁠.  Have you ever wondered if you’re really a podcaster before the followers or the downloads start rolling in? You're not alone - I was right there too when I first launched my podcast in 2017. In this episode, I share some of the biggest insights I’ve picked up along the way - from my own rocky beginnings to helping clients around the world step confidently into the podcasting space. When I started podcasting in 2017, I had no idea if anyone would listen. There was no roadmap, just a purpose I couldn’t ignore and a lot of second-guessing. Through trial, error, and a lot of determination, I discovered that legitimacy is something we cultivate within ourselves first. Now, after years of working with aspiring podcasters - each at different stages of their journeys - I know firsthand that this feeling of “am I really cut out for this?” is universal. In today’s episode, I dive deep into the mindset shifts and small, powerful actions you can take to feel legitimate from day one. We’ll talk about my early struggles, the moments of doubt, and the ways I see my clients overcome these same fears to become the impactful voices they aspire to be. Whether you’re just thinking of launching a podcast or already have a few episodes under your belt, this episode is packed with encouragement and practical advice to help you own your voice, grow your confidence, and fully embrace the journey ahead. This one’s for anyone who’s ready to feel like they belong in the world of podcasting, right here, right now. Free resources for your Podcasting journey: Free Ebook!

    How to Start Your Podcast STRONG 💪 (as a coach)

    ⁠Free Ebook! How to start Podcasting with impact.⁠⁠ When you're starting a podcast for your coaching practice, it's easy to get caught up in the excitement—choosing the right microphone, picking a catchy name, and dreaming of all the lives you'll touch. But here's the truth: if you don’t have a clear "why," those early steps will feel scattered, and your podcast could end up feeling like a chore rather than an inspired project. So today, we’ll dive into why knowing your "why" is the essential (and STRONG!!) foundation for your podcast that will not only save you time but also make this journey fulfilling and impactful. We’ll also explore practical questions you can ask yourself to get clarity on your "why" and talk about how each episode should be tied to a deeper purpose, so you're not just podcasting for the sake of it—but really moving your listeners forward. Practical Questions to Uncover Your "Why" Now, let’s get practical. How do you actually uncover your "why"? Here are some questions to ask yourself, especially as a coach: What impact do I want my podcast to have on my coaching practice? Who is my ideal listener? What do I love most about coaching, and how can I translate that into podcasting? What unique voice or perspective do I bring to the table? Why Every Episode Needs a "Why" Having a "why" for your entire podcast is important, but let’s take it a step further: every episode you create should have its own "why." Why this topic? Why now? Why will it move your ideal listener forward? Before you record, ask yourself these questions for each episode: Why does my listener need to hear this today? What transformation or takeaway do I want my listeners to walk away with? How will this episode help build trust and connection with my audience? In the episode I’ll walk you through every single one of these questions with practical examples to help you uncover your purpose, like how to identify the impact you want, who your ideal listener is, and how each episode can move them (as well as yourself) forward. You’ll also hear real-life examples from the worlds leading top coaches and what we can learn from them. Now sit back and enjoy this episode & reach out with your feedback and questions anytime!

    One of the Biggest Stumbling Blocks for Every (New and Experienced) Podcaster

    Schedule your complimentary ⁠⁠Podcast Boss Call with Regina HERE⁠⁠.  In this episode, I'm tackling one of the biggest stumbling blocks every podcaster faces, whether you're just starting out or have been in the game for years: the belief that all the choices you make for your podcast are set in stone. I want to challenge that mindset because the reality is, your podcast is ever-evolving. It’s supposed to change, grow, and adapt over time—and that’s not only normal, but it’s essential for your podcast’s success. Using my own journey as an example—my very first episode from 2016 versus my most recent one from this week in 2024—you’ll hear firsthand why it would actually be a *bad* thing if everything about your podcast stayed the same. Evolving Helps You Build a Stronger Connection with Your Audience too. As your audience grows and diversifies, so should your podcast. Evolving allows you to stay relevant, keep up with trends, and meet the changing needs of your listeners. Authenticity shines when you allow yourself to adapt naturally, rather than forcing yourself into an outdated mold. Learning from Your Past (Episode 1 vs. Episode Now): Take a trip down memory lane—my very first episode recorded back in 2016 compared to the newest one released this week in 2024. You’ll notice major changes: a stronger intro, different music, a more confident voice, a relaxed conversation without scripted questions - These changes, this growth happened because I embraced the learning curve. I allowed myself to evolve rather and changing things up (topic focus, music, guests) than fearing that any alteration would betray my original vision. When you feel comfortable making changes, you’re more likely to take creative risks that could pay off in big ways. Whether it's switching up your format, trying new segment ideas, or inviting different types of guests, change fosters innovation and keeps your podcast fresh. So let's just embrace the simple truth and fact, that as we go along, our podcasts will change, just as much as we will. And that we can still make changes down the road. Nothing is ever set in stone. ++++++ Free resources for your Podcasting journey: ⁠Free Ebook!

    When Your Loved Ones Don’t Support Your Podcast

    Schedule your complimentary ⁠Podcast Consultation Call with Regina HERE⁠.  Have you ever felt that sinking feeling when you share your podcasting dream with your partner, family, or close friends, only to be met with skepticism or indifference? It’s especially tough when the people we expect to be our biggest cheerleaders don’t quite get it or, worse, offer critical feedback that leaves us questioning ourselves. In the latest episode of 'Podcasting with Impact', I tackle this topic head-on—because it’s something so many of us have experienced yet rarely talk about. When we start a podcast, we’re filled with passion and excitement, driven by a vision to share something meaningful with the world. Especially in the beginning, we often look to our loved ones for validation, support, and maybe even content ideas. But what happens when that support doesn’t come? Or when their feedback feels more critical than constructive? Here’s what we’ll dive into in this episode: How to Process Criticism from Loved Ones Not all feedback is created equal. While constructive criticism can help us improve, it’s important to distinguish it from negativity. I’ll share strategies to identify the difference and avoid internalizing unhelpful comments that might derail your confidence. Why Your Podcast Is Still Worth It Just because your loved ones don’t understand your podcasting journey doesn’t mean it isn’t valuable. I’ll walk you through how to stay focused on your vision and push through the doubt—even when the people closest to you aren’t cheering you on. Effective Communication Strategies Often, the lack of support comes from a place of misunderstanding. I’ll offer tips on how to have open, honest conversations with your loved ones. Building a Support Network Outside Your Inner Circle If you’re not getting the support you need from your immediate circle, it’s essential to build a network of people who do get it. I’ll share advice on finding the support you crave. This episode is perfect for anyone who’s ever faced doubt from their loved ones about their podcast - or any creative endeavor, really. Whether you’re just starting or have been podcasting for a while, you’ll gain practical insights and mindset shifts to help you stay resilient in the face of criticism. You’ll also hear two incredible insights from members of my LinkedIn community, Elayna Snyder and Nate Davis, whose comments on this topic truly resonated with me. Their perspectives are not only thoughtful but also actionable, and I’m excited to share their full insights with you in the episode. By tuning into this episode, you’ll gain: A deeper understanding of how to deal with unsupportive feedback. Tools for better communication with your loved ones. Encouragement to keep going, even when faced with criticism. Tips for finding a supportive community that uplifts your podcasting journey. And, most importantly, a reminder that your podcast matters, regardless of what anyone else thinks. If you’ve been feeling the sting of criticism lately, this episode will remind you that you’re not alone—and that you have the power to keep pushing forward. Special Thanks I want to give a special shout-out to Elayna Snyder https://www.linkedin.com/in/elayna-snyder/ and Nate Davis https://www.linkedin.com/in/iamnatedavis/​, who both shared invaluable insights that I’ll highlight in the episode. If you’re not already connected with them, I highly recommend doing so. Their thought leadership on storytelling and empathy is truly something special. ++++++ Free resources for your Podcasting journey: Free Ebook! How to start Podcasting with impact.

    Schedule your complimentary ⁠⁠Podcast Boss Call with Regina HERE⁠⁠.  Connect with Regina on LinkedIn HERE.  After the holidays, getting back into work mode can feel like such a struggle. For me at least it was really hard this time and maybe you’ve spent days (or weeks) enjoying a slower pace, and maybe catching up with loved ones just like I did.  But now, as you sit at your desk, the thought of getting back into your routine feels overwhelming. You’re unmotivated, and just not ready to leave the holiday mindset behind. If this sounds familiar, we will now together shake off that post-holiday blues and find our groove again. Today I will share some of the tips that have personally helped me to get back into the groove and I will also be sharing some great suggestions from people within my LinkedIn network, brilliant entrepreneurs, coaches, doers and shakers that I am following. You can find all their links below.  In this episode we’ll explore: Mindset shifts: How to reframe your thinking and find motivation again.

    This is what holidays sound like ☀️ Summer break

    Schedule your complimentary ⁠Podcast Boss Call with Regina HERE⁠.  One of my favorite Austria-based podcasters recently took a break, and guess what happened: it only heightened my anticipation for the next episode. I found myself checking the feed regularly, never forgetting about the show. This experience reaffirmed my belief that if you keep your listeners in the loop and communicate what's happening, they won't drop off. Your loyal fans will be eagerly waiting for your return. So, this is my invitation to you: especially now, when summer is here and (if you are a busy parent like me) school routines are on hold, don't stress about not having a new episode every week.  Here's why taking breaks can be beneficial for your podcast: The Benefits of Taking Scheduled Breaks Prevent Burnout: Continuous content creation can lead to burnout, diminishing the passion and creativity that initially drove you. Breaks allow you to recharge, ensuring that when you return, you're refreshed and full of new ideas. Maintain Quality: When you prioritize quality over quantity, your listeners will appreciate it. Rushing episodes just to meet a weekly schedule can harm your brand more than it helps. Your audience values well-thought-out, engaging content. Build Anticipation: Just like with my Austrian podcaster experience, your listeners will eagerly await your return if they know when to expect it. Communicate clearly about your break and return dates to keep them engaged. Explore Your Back Catalogue: A break is a perfect time for your audience to explore episodes they may have missed. Encourage them to dive into your back catalogue and rediscover valuable content. Plan and Record in Advance: If you prefer, you can plan smartly and record months in advance. This way, you'll always have new episodes lined up for release without the constant pressure of weekly production. Communicate with Your Audience Transparency is key. Let your listeners know about your break plans and what they can expect. Share updates through your podcast, social media, and newsletter. Keeping them informed builds trust and keeps your audience loyal. To lead by example, PODCASTING WITH IMPACT will take a well-deserved summer break. There won't be any new episodes airing for July and August. I invite you to enjoy browsing through our back catalogue and to explore episodes you may have missed. I will be back with lots of beautiful, inspiring and super helpful new episodes for you in August.  Listen to my short signing-off message, featuring the beautiful voices of my three kids, and let's look forward to an exciting return after a refreshing summer break. Enjoy your summer! Regina  More resources for your Podcasting journey: Free Ebook! How to start Podcasting with impact.
