    95. Designing Your Podcast With Love & Soul in the Age of AI (with Jackie Pelegrin)

    What does it really mean to design your podcast with love—not just strategy and systems, but intention, care, and sustainability? In this episode of Soul Podcasting, I’m joined by Jackie Pelegrin, instructional designer, college professor, author, and host of the Designing With Love podcast. Jackie shares how her background in instructional design shapes the way she approaches podcasting—and why designing with intention matters just as much as consistency. We talk about podcasting as a form of teaching, how to balance creativity with practicality, and how to use tools like AI without losing your voice or burning out. Jackie also opens up about systems that support longevity, letting go of perfection, and giving yourself grace as a creator. This is a thoughtful, encouraging conversation for podcasters who want to build something meaningful—and sustainable—without hustle culture running the show.

    92. A Holiday Hug for Podcasters: Gentle Podcast Consistency for the Season

    The holidays can be beautiful — and overwhelming — especially if you’re trying to maintain podcast consistency without burning yourself out. In this special holiday episode of The Soul Podcasting Podcast, I’m offering a gentle reminder that consistency doesn’t have to mean pressure, perfection, or pushing through exhaustion. We’re talking about what healthy podcast consistency during the holidays really looks like — when to show up, when to slow down, and how to give yourself permission to adjust your podcasting schedule without guilt. If you’ve been wondering whether it’s okay to take a break, batch episodes, or rethink your workflow this season, this episode is your holiday hug. If you’re listening before Christmas, I’m wishing you the happiest of holidays.
